Carp-e-Diem !

My sweet friend Judi (my first Arbonne business partner) and I got to go to Vegas to the Arbonne National Training Celebration.  It was SO amazing.  We learned so much about new products, the science behind Arbonne’s formulas, the lives that have been changed through this company, and lots more.  I am ignited!  I’m so thrilled to be working from home, in an industry that is still growing despite the economy.   Yea for Arbonne!  (http://www.arbonne.com)

Plus David Cassidy and David Cook came to sing just for us!  (well, 8000 of us

Wow – we’re official with our name badges!  (A gal threw her name badge onstage to David Cook during his show; he giggled and said no one had ever done that before!)

Last week, the below letter to the editor appeared in our local Carpinteria paper, The Coastal View News : 

My reply was printed in this week’s edition.  I have reproduced it below :

Here is a picture of my beautiful girl.

Last night, I went downstairs to let Ginger into the house. She was in the front yard. As I walked to the front door I heard some strange noises from outside. It sounded like something was banging against the house, I thought the wind was blowing.

When I opened the door, I saw that she was carrying something in her mouth. I saw a tail and figured it was a lizard. I went back inside to get a flashlight to look closer.

Ginger had caught a *big* rat. Toby picked it up and threw it away. She said that it was about 8 inches long, not including the tail. Yuck. But better a dead rat than one that might end up running across the kitchen counter one day.

Sorry no pictures.
