Lots of progress!

So, let's see. We have a new MATTRESS! Or should I say, finally we have a bed! We were so lucky to "win" the mattress! We bought tickets at a benefit to win the mattress and box spring, but sadly our numbers weren't drawn - but my uncle's number was drawn and he gave it to us!!! So, so thankful! Thank you Uncle Jeff!

So, we had the mattress set. But we didn't have a bed frame. So, we tried an American Mattress nearby. The young man working was very nice and super helpful, and we were able to save $15 by buying a floor model. Well, we took the bed frame home, but it was defective - there were no holes to slide the hooks into! It looked like a piece was missing. We went back to the store the next day, and an older man was working. We told him our problem, and he was puzzled as to how that happened. The only thing he could think of was that the floor model pieces were put together wrong in the package. So, with our third trip to the same store, we brought our bed frame back in, and the older man replaced it with a brand new bed frame! Yay! I would highly recommend that store to anyone!

Also, just one more week until we get our new WASHER AND DRYER! Woo hoo! We have piles of laundry building up, and our new washer and dryer will find a very happy and useful place in our home!

Here's a tip: Be patient, and things will work out! That's the moral of this story! :)

Cleaning up starts now!

Unpacking is actually somewhat of a relief this time around. Instead of just moving stuff from apartment to apartment, I'm only moving the things I really love into this house. Thus, I'm clearing out the clutter! It's freeing! Although I wish I had done this before moving it all, I think the house itself is inspiring me to keep it clean!

Get ready for some new Avon news after tomorrow! I have a special 4th Quarter preview meeting to go to, and I'll get to see the new products that will be introduced soon. It'll be fun!

Here's a tip: It isn't too early to start thinking about holiday gifts. With the economy like it is, planning ahead makes budgeting a lot easier! Also, with Avon, there are so many great gift ideas that are also inexpensive!

Oooh! Love it!

Moving? That's so last week! Okay, so maybe the unpacking is still happening, but as of August 30, I've been out of my apartment! We worked so hard cleaning and moving boxes. I am so glad that's done! Unpacking isn't too bad, but that's the next challenge!

I got my Avon order! Ohmygosh do I loooove the hat and scarf and jewelry set. I've been wearing them to work all week! Also in my order was a black cardigan and the

BUTLER BAG FOR AVON!

It's in all caps because this is the best bag ever. EVER. It's perfect for organizing everything that goes into your purse because there's a divider set built into the bottom of the inside of the bag. Everything fits in its own spot! The other great thing about it? It's only $19.99 with a $15 beauty purchase! Or, you can buy it separately for $39.99. Either way, it's waaay less than what the Butler Bags are going for at http://www.butlerbag.com/.

So, how many do you want?

Here's a tip: Use the Butler Bag to organize your wallet, checkbook, lipgloss, lipstick, keys, cell phone, spare change, cell phone charger, magazine, notebook, pens, lotion, gum, iPod, coupon organizer, makeup, sunglasses... Or, turn it into a diaper bag! The possiblities are endless!
