We've been getting internet leads and have had like 75 come in this week and having to put in Agents Ally then quote and capture and set followups and emails, it seems like i'm never going to get caught up unless I work till midnight! NOT HAPPENING!!!! |

I hear you on the "warm" leads thing. We have gotten a ton this week and I have been trying to follow up & notify everybody. I have some more today in my email. Why the sudden surge? Hope you all have a great weekend. I know I am going to enjoy every minute of it Julie  |

I have to work Saturday. I have 2 life appointments, they better show up. I do not mine working on Saturdays as long as they keep there appointment it is when I drive in 20 miles to work and they don't show. That makes me want to call them (customers) and tell how I feel, which I would never do that. |

Did everyone have a good weekend? I finally got to clean my house! Then I wake up this morning, already dreading the work week, to find that my dear sweet husband tracked dried red clay all through the house this morning on his way to work!! GRRRR i was so mad! He appologized, he didn't realize he did that! I said FYI - those boots are ALways muddy, so word of wisdom is to put them on outside!! i had a very productive weekend! it was nice and relaxing as well.... |

My weekend was fine. All day Saturday I worked on cleaning the house because we were hosting game night for our Sunday School class to come over. Usually there's about 14-18 people who come, so I was detail cleaning. Then, it turned out that only one couple came!  But, we had fun anyway. And I found out that I am NOT smarter than a fifth grader! hee hee.I finally got some new tennis shoes and hopefully my aching bunions will chill out for a little bit. Today's my bday! I am turning 34, but keep thinking I am 35. |

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENN!!! February 18, 2008 -- All things are possible - believe it, it's true. No matter what you may have been told by friends, loved ones or work colleagues the only limits are the ones that exist in the mind.

Some friends of mine have a boil every april - this is the 6th year- and they invite over 100 people! its so much fun. we just party it up all day and night eating crawfish, drinking beer, jello shots, and play volley ball, the limbo, and just whatever else our drunk selves can think to do! thank goodness there will be great weather! We all camp out on their property that night and get up the next morning and have breakfast. its a blast! i have so much fun every year! |

You have a wonderful time at your boil ... drink plenty for me too and be careful with your back on the limbo!!  |

we are still trying.... had to put a hold on the trying process though, because i got cyst of both ovaries, but once those bad boys are finally gone, its back to trying again!!! i go to my dr again later this month to see if the cyst have left. i am pretty sure they are gone. |

Well glad to hear you are still trying. My ex husband and his wife just decided they are adopting (through foster care in Texas) so it's a lengthy process....but they can't wait. My sister is trying too so I'll have plenty of babies to play with. I hope you get much success from what you guys are doing!!! Until then you will spoil your nieces and nephews huh? |

I'm so glad it's Friday too!! My hubby and son and I left this afternoon to go to Chattanooga for a mini vacation. We met my inlaws who live in Mississippi. Just got back from Macaroni Grill. I'd never been there before, but it was sooooooo good. Just wish I had room for coffee and dessert. Anyway, I just checked on our site and it's back up! Woo hoo! I have been wrestling with Yahoo since March. That's right, March. Now it's finally up, but wonder if we can get people back. At any rate, you girls are awesome and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Last edited on Saturday May 17th, 2008 02:40 am by jdtoney |

so did you take your dogs to the lake? Thats a great idea! I need to do that for my dogs - they would love it! Man it was so weird watching my nephew graduate highschool, and most of all to watch him walk across the stage that i walked down 10 years ago! i saw a lot of teachers that i had back in the day and they remembered me! man teachers are strange - how do they remember us all? his graduation party was a lot of fun. my mom (his grandma) threw him a lua! it was great! |

I will be going to my first farmer's market to sell our family-made soap. Thankfully, this market is less than 2 minutes away from where I live. I am very excited about it and hope to sell lots of soap. I'll be there every Saturday from now til October. |
