Day 1 in Atlanta
So i arrived at 12:30 to the Atl airport to meet with Jerrod! i'm so excited to be here. we have had so much fun already. I'm pooped tho.
Jerrod came to get me at the MARTA airport station and went to lunch. There i met my new friends for the week. Myra, Lauren and Miranda. I later met Tonya at the hotel. They are all so great. I'm just really excited to get to know these great women and spend time with Jerrod too! Myra was a Mary Kay Sales Director and just recently gave that up (about 3 months ago) to take a worship leader position that she loves. She is super sweet, mid 40's grown kids. Miranda, has been a MK consultant for a long time and has lots of ideas on helping with the booth. She is going to be great to have around, mid 30's has a daughter 8yrs old. Lauren is a younger version of me that is almost creepy.. She's 21 and in love with someone younger who sounds so much like brian it's nuts! She was wearing all this bright pink and green and is just as loud as me. Freeky moment: we were all standing around and she's just telling how she's been into reading a lot lately. Loves Nicolas Sparks. Then she goes, but my favorite book of all time is REDEEMING LOVE! Well slap me sideways! that's my favorite book too!! I told her it was like a stipulation for people, they couldn't be my friends till they read that book. We are rooming together so.. i told her, we will either have a blast or cause we are so much a like we will irritate the crap out of eachother... She is soo much fun! Tonya is this beautiful, slim black woman that looks way younger than her 38 yrs, has 4 children from 14 to 18months old. She is so thoughtful and loves to shop for her kids. Her and her Husband just moved to St. Louis from Dallas only a few weeks ago but she loves it there so far. She will be running the register.
We went to Starbucks for some coffee and training.. I'm so excited about these products it ALMOST makes me want to go back into Mary Kay. Then we went to the mall and walked around, got some cool stuff. I'd love to get some MAC make-up while i'm here i tried some of their lip conditioner and it was AMAZING! We'll see. After dinner at Panera, we were all pretty pooped. So we are off to bed now. Set up starts tomorrow early. We meed Jerrod downstairs at 8am..
I'll post pictures soon!
