technical difficulties averted

thanks to kandra i was able to fix the order so now its not so confusing enjoy

maybe i'll just keep it updated then i won't have to worry about chronological order

technical difficulties

so i added these posts in a certain order but since i started writing them on different days and saved them they put them in their own order so sorry hope you can figure it out and if any one has suggestions for me to fix this without having to rewrite them that would be helpful

an update on my ankle

Well after my cast came off i got a boot to help me walk and eventually i was able to walk without it then i had surgery to remove a screw no it wasn't bothering me they just needed to remove it so that when i was able to run it wouldn't be there to break inside my foot. Now im going to physical therapy twice a week and already seeing improvements I'm getting excited i'm almost back to normal yay! what an experience this has been i'm happy it's almost over








yes that was inside my foot straight across in my ankle








looks normal





i'm working on being able to jog and jump with my physical therapist

pampered chef

so i became a pampered chef consultant in october but finally had my first show at the end of november which was ok during that time i was asking questions taking online training courses and observing a couple of other consultant's shows to get ideas and to feel more comfortable well i had my show and nobody showed up but i learned from my mistakes and i got sales anyways and bookings (people to host shows for me) so its ok i'm not too bummed out and hopefully i can still get this show on the road and quit procrastinating my goal right now with this business is to be able to take my family to disney world in june of 2010 it will be a free trip that i earn so i'm working on it here are some pics from my show and the recipe i was supposed to make that i practiced ahead of time
