I am still surviving! YAH!! Work went pretty good! I think I am more anxious to get on the phone, so I can get it out of the way, and not worry about it!! Ha ha!
I went to sara's after work because I have to go to our CM factory and take a tour, but I am not quite sure how to get there, so Sara drove me out there tonight! We are going to go see a movie tomorrow night, so I'm excited about that. Break up the routine a bit!
This weekend is crazy, ready:
Friday:
Work: Scrapbook day, yes it is true, I get paid to scrapbook on my last day of training, just to get used to the products and stuff!!
Hang with sara!
Saturday:
Shop with Suzie
Suzie comes over later for a sleep-over (after her date with Kev!! Yah!)
Sunday:
Church/Sunday School
Potluck, I think, probably just if Suzie goes!
Watch skating! Yah!
hang with Suzie
Go to vespers, haven't gone in a couple weeks because of working early for training, so I am glad that I will be working later, and can go again!!
also I might be getting together with a girl for dinner on Thursday night, so many plans, not enough time!!! AHHH!
Better get some sleep! love ya! :)

Still hanging in there!!
I survived my first Monday at Creative Memories. It was funny how my day started out though. Suzie spent the night, and she got up before me, and when I got in the shower, the power went out. I kind of got the conditioner out, but not really!!! GRRR!! suzie is a hair genius though, and she made me look decent!
Work went okay! We learned some interesting things about consultants, which took literally 4 hours, but it was the same woman that trained us last week, her name is Lisa, and she is really funny and energetic!!
I also got my new cubicle today, so that was cool! I can start bringing in pictures, and decorating. It only took me 1 1/2 to get a desk at PCI!!! HA HA! No radios are allowed though, I'm not sure what I am going to do in regards to no Christmas music, and no Twins games next year, AHHH! At least I have until next year to figure it out!!
I bring home my materials I get from work each day, and I kind of feel like I am catching on, so that makes me feel better! They just have so many systems, it's ridiculous!!!
They want us to get on the phones on Thursday, and all of us looked at each other like, "Are you kidding?!?!" It was kind of funny! At least the trainers are really nice and supportive!!
Well, I should really get to bed, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night, and chances are that I won't get up in the morning because the power will go out or something. I got home and it was freezing because of the fireplace not working, and the oven was broke, so we couldn't cook!! AHH! But I kind of hung out with dad and watched some sports stuff, I am kind of shocked, but I kind of like football now, crazy I know!!!
Also, it snowed, not hard or anything, but I was crabby about that too! Also, I can't get rid of this darn cold!! AHH! When is the insanity going to stop!! Keep praying! :)

What a beautiful day!
The lord is fabulous, isn't he?!?!
Went to church with Kevy, so that was good! Was a little late due to oversleeping, but still helped with sunday school for awhile!!
After church Suzie came over, and while she studied I looked over training stuff, and watched the race and football games with dad and Kev!
mom made french toast, which she never does, since she doesn't cook! We watched the cowboys play, and they won, and Tony was great!! YAH!
At halftime Suzie and I went and got ice cream, again a good time was had! We are making plans to go shopping next weekend, so yah!!!!
Kevy was fun all weekend, so that was good! Sometimes he can be moody, but this time he was "Mr. Family Man!"
I just wanted to write everything, because I should be sleeping, but I woke up, and thought I would write to y'all, and now I am going back to bed!! G'night everyone! :)

Good weekend continues!!
what a great weekend!!
It continued last night with a talk with Kevy! He is so cute, he was all saying the whole, "I'm a family man, I've changed!" because it is SO funny! I love when he comes home, we always have good conversations!!
Today was more of a relaxing day! I read, watched some TV, and took a bubble bath, and just chilled out!! It was very nice! Also, we are getting to get an extra hour of sleep!! I am so excited!!
Well, i think I am going to study up on some work things, and go to bed!
Sunday:
Church
Sunday school with mom
Hang with Suzie!
Go to vespers!
Get ready for the work week!
I feel okay about my job, I know once I get some calls under my belt and learn more about the systems and stuff, I should be okay!!!
Thanks for your prayers, and keep PRAYING!! :)

A great was to be had!!! YAH! :)
It started out kind of rough with doing some review games on the MANY programs we've learned this week, and my team is not doing well, so that kinda stinks, but then we got a full tour of the building, not just CSR's (Consultant Services Rep!) area upstairs, so that was cool.
We also got trained on the digital programs, even though we won't be answering questions, so that is nice, so we got to play around with the programs, and stuff, and it was pretty cool!! Lot's of cool programs!! There are a lot of nice people there, the lady training us on the digital stuff, is so nice and really funny!! She sounds kinda southern!
They are so understanding though about overloading us with information, but the better news is that we've been trained on almost everything, so it's nice to know that next week we will just be trying to remember everything!! So I feel good about today! I think I can do this!
I feel like I am getting a cold though, so I think this weekend I will study Creative Memories stuff, relax, and try to get over this cold. I have cough drops and orange juice. If there is anything else I should be drinking, eating, or whatever, let me know!!
Thank you for your prayers you guys! I feel like, in Jackie's words, "Kristin can do anything she puts her mind too!!" Running joke in our family, is that only Jackie thinks that, which isn't true, but I know my families been praying, and i want to thank them and others who have! I feel like I should get some recognition for surviving my first week! i'll let you know when I get on the phones, and we will go from there!! Have a great weekend! :)

Happy Belated Halloween!!
I actually had a really good day yesterday! Still surviving at the new job. actually after I got done at work, I went back to PCI to drop off some 401K transfer forms and I got to see everyone, and that was both hard and fun, and a little sad too! Of course Scott was all mean about me being there and all, "Former employees are not allowed to be on the floor!" but he said it jokingly. I got to see him, little Zac, Salvy, Jessamyn, Heidi, Andy, and others. It was SO fun!!! It was nice to be there, and not have to work! I was there for about half an hour, but it was so hard because I don't work there anymore, if that makes sense!!
When I got home though, Jackie was around, so that was fun, and the Suzie came over, and it was fun!! We are trying to plan what we are doing for Thanksgiving, because we still are not sure if we are going to grandma's or not, so we shall see!!
Today was an okay day too!! Everyone in our training group is feeling drained, so I think that helps, because I don't feel like I am the only one not catching on, because there are so many programs, and things to learn!!
But there are so many good benefits of being at CM: Could go to regional convention for consultants and get paid, could volunteer for 2 days every year, and get paid for it. I got a cute cubicle (or pod as they call it!) The people are super nice, and next week we have a scrapbook day, and get paid for it, and then on December 1st I get overtime to go in and scrapbook, a lot of benefits, just gotta get used to the work!! Which hopefully will come SOON, I am not very patient!!!
GUESS WHAT?!?!?
The weekends tomorrow, and I don't EVER work weekends again! YAH! :)
