Day 2 setting up the booth

So, some of you don't know that i'm in Atlanta for the Mary Kay Leadership conference. My friend Jerrod started this company Pink! Inc. that sells, well, pink stuff. You'll love what you find there. So he hired me and all the girls i mentioned to set up shop here at the vendors and sell his goods. This is him in the hat i made him. (i finally got that right he has it rolled kinda crazy but it looks good.. more on the first disaster later)



Today was ROUGH! We had to unload the Uhaul that took over 3 hours. Then we went to the CNN building to have lunch right accross the street from the Convention Center. Hey Steph member last year? it is the same place!! This is Tonya.. the beautiful black woman i told you about..



Then we put some stickers on some boxes and folded some of the sleep wear. We have so much stuff still to unpack and get set up. This is Miranda. She was so amazing today with all of us. She has all this retail experience so she was on a roll.



AND THIS is my new crazy roomate Lauren: Like i said she is totally a younger version of myself.. but i'll let you decide..





We had a lot of laughs and ended up having Pizza for dinner before we came home. Our feet were so so sore that we got a ride in the back of the Uhaul. We were freeking out especially cause we had to ride in the dark. I was so thankful for the light of our cel phones! This is Myra, me and the new chick that got here today Jennifer. She is so much fun too! She is in Director qualification and just earned her red car. She is too funny.



We just got home and i'm soo tired. We have to get there tomorrow at 7:30 am to finish setting up. We are so tired. My back and my feet are hurting like crazy!! love you and miss you guys! have a great day tomorrow.

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!
