Success and Heart Break

Good news first!

I had my Scentsy Launch Party over the weekend and had SO much fun!  I really think I am going to enjoy doing this. 

I had 13 people confirm they were coming and the day of the event, I kept checking my Facebook and email to make sure no one was cancelling.  So far, so good.

And, then at 5:30 pm, I had my first person cancel.   OK.  That's OK.  I expected at least one.

The party started at 7:00 pm and my first guest arrived at 6:50 pm.  I welcomed her in and she said, "I have good news and bad news".

Oh no.

She had unexpected company and couldn't re-arrange their dinner plans for that evening.  She was supposed to bring her mom to the party and now neither of them could come. 

:(

She took 2 catalogs and I gave her my 2-minute mini-presentation and off she went.

I started getting worried.  This was NOT looking good. 

All in all, I had 7 people come so that's still a good turn out in my book.  Everyone was very receptive to the products and I had a great night with sales.

So good in fact that I was promoted to the next level and I'm now getting the maximum commission that I can get! 

Can I get a WHOO to the HOO?

I already have a party lined up with my sister-in-law and a co-worker of my mom's is interested in hosting a party was well.   My goal is to have 1 party per month so it's looking good so far!

Now for the bad news.

My friend Tammi (see previous 2 posts) is really struggling through this first chemo treatment.  The nurse told her it would get worse before it gets better but I don't think Tammi was prepared.  She had the meds administered last Friday and each day, she seems to be in more pain and feeling worse.  The nurse told her it's her immune system shutting down because it's been in this virtual battle all week.

Tammi said she feels like she has the most horrible case of the flu, without the fever. 

It is breaking my heart.  I hate this.  I hate knowing she is in pain.  I hate knowing that this was only the first round and she's going to have to do this every 3 weeks for the next 6 months.  Cancer is such an unforgiving bastard.
