how time passes...

Wow. Seems like I posted just last week. Life gets busy, I guess. I've been following the weight watchers plan and I'm down about 3 pounds. Nothing to write home about, but slow and steady wins the race, right?

Last Sunday my parents and I took a day trip to the Celestial Seasonings factory in Boulder, CO. It was a nice, relaxing day to get away from the ordinary and do something new with the family. I've been drinking tea like there's no tomorrow at work as a result of the trip. My normal 5-6 daily cups of coffee is down to 0-2 (sorry, Pat) as I've been drinking all sorts of tea. I've forgotten how much I enjoy it and how much it soothes my still-sore throat.

Things have been going slower at work, too, until this week. Our company has gained some interest at PrePaid Legal Services and Primerica conventions last weekend, so there's been a lot of follow up with reps who need health insurance. Also on the good news front, another network marketing company with 50,000 active reps and 300,000 total reps will be likely signing on with us next week. That will increase our market to over 1,000,000 people. Also looking to sign on with us in the next couple of months is the fastest growing skin care product company in the world. Primerica will also likely allow their licensed reps to earn fees for referring their clients to us for health insurance. Very exciting stuff as we will likely triple our already healthy sales volume by year's end.

Elling, my beagle, is also going to go to his second obedience training lesson this Saturday. This week we've been working on having him give me his full attention when his name is called, sitting, and not jumping up on people. He's a good little trooper and is learning quickly.

I guess that's about it for now. Happy Easter, everybody!

the good life, it feel like atlanta, it feel like l.a. ...

The flight and hotel reservations are booked. I'm heading to L.A. in April, and I'm really looking forward to it. It won't be anything uber-exciting, I'll be there for 28 hours or so for Primerica's West Coast Convention manning our booth and promoting our health insurance products for Primerica's field force, but just the fact that I've never been on a business trip that required flight and hotel reservations before makes it cool. And I haven't flown since 2 months before 9/11, so the new rules for air travel will be interesting.

Anyone want to dog-sit for 2 days in April?
