Tuesday

Not every day is all about Pure Romance. I needed to get a hostess packet in the mail today, but had none on hand, so I printed out everything I would need for 10, except the outside order envelopes and order blanks. I only put together the one I needed right away, but will get the other nine done tomorrow. I put together my last recruit packet (since I need more Incentive & Rewards booklets) to take with me when I went to interview a potential recruit. Every time my business takes a jump, it seems there is something I run out of earlier than expected, and this time it was the booklets. I also went to my newest recruit's house to show her the way around the website, since she just got Internet. I was planning on doing it over the phone, but since I needed to be in the area anyway for the recruit, I stopped by her house. It really is much easier when you are both in front of the same computer.

In between all this, I made time to go out to lunch with my husband and cook supper for our friends who come over for Game Night. And hang out on the Web.

Yesterday Joann and I started the interview process for Week 2 of Pure Romance Hands Across America, and finished it today. I posted it to our Yahoo group, and also added a post with a link to this blog. Joann gave me some good advice about hostess calls: I need to schedule specific times that I am willing to make those calls and STICK TO THOSE TIMES. Also, she suggested I put a bright sticky note on each hostess packet, reminding the hostess of when we agreed we would talk. I know if I do not write down when I am supposed to do something, I usually forget about it. Therefore, it does not surprise me that if I only verbally say when I am going to call that the hostess would forget and not be there when I call.

Tonight was Game Night, but instead of playing a game we watched Cassablanca - one of the best movies EVER! I also got some ideas for a Halloween costume to wear to the Pure Romance party I am doing on October 31st, where all the guests will be in costume. My good friend Heather suggested I dress the part of the name of this blog - Romance Party Queen - with a tiara, hearts all over me, etc. There were a lot of jokes about my carrying a sceptor, and whether it should be a vibrating "sceptor".

I am getting excited about the Open House I am doing this Thursday as a benefit for the Sexual Health Peers. The invitation is on Facebook and we already have over 30 confirmed guests!! I will spend part of tomorrow and Thursday planning the event - what my display will look like, what I will do for a raffle, etc. Another consultant has agreed to help me with it, for which I will give her some free product. I also hope to book some regular parties off the open house, as well as getting some recruits.
