When life hands you lemons...

So, today I was supposed to be hosting a Tupperware Party. BUT... we have SEVEN sick children. Yes, you read that right, SEVEN. ALL the kids in the house to one varying degree or another are sick. Worse yet, BFF and I both woke up with sore throats. BOO.

Add to that this LOVELY nor'easter that just continues to add snow to our already plentiful bounty of snow on the ground (I think our 48 hour total right now exceeds 18 inches, but I'm no expert! LOL).

I just felt it best to cancel the party. I'm a bit disappointed. Though not so much for me as for the consultant. I used to be a consultant for a different direct selling company similar to Tupperware, and I know how much it stings to have a canceled party, especially this close to the party. We are still holding the party as a catalog party and I hope to have a live party in the future. My consultant has such incredible enthusiasm that I know my friends would enjoy a party with her. :)

If you are interested in ordering from this party and haven't received an email from me, just let me know what email to send it to!

Snow and Tupperware Party Updates

So BFF and I went to our friends Tupperware party, I will get back to the great fun we had at the party later, I want to talk about snow first!!

When we walked out the front door the snow was finally starting to stick on grassy surfaces. But because it had been raining earlier, the sidewalks and roads were still clear but wet in most places. As we got closer you could see more and more accumulation. Upwards of an inch or more in some places. We turned into our friends neighborhood and it was even worse there.

When we went to leave the party a couple hours later the accumulation was over 2 inches. and now the roads had snow too. Oh dear. Worse yet, now I had to drive. I had to get the van turned around and out the driveway and all the way home with the ever worsening roads. Ice in some places. When we got home we decided to scrape BFF's DH's car since he has to go to work early in the morning. We figured if we do it now it's that much less he has to do in the morning. There was over 2 inches of snow on his car!!!

Now about the party. It was a lot of fun. All the tupperware I've ever had has been hand me downs but I have loved them anyway. I wasn't too sure I was going to get much of anything tonight since BFF has SO MUCH tupperware and isn't in NEED of much right now. But I did like one item so much I decided to buy it anyway. I got the Fashion Lunch Set. It is a Purple Lunch Sack, with a Vent and Serve Dish, a Tumbler, and a Spoon. I am planning to take my lunches to work with it. Maybe I'll be SUPER ambitious and go buy organic salad makings... Nah... I'll just make sure I can make salads that actually have the food I WANT on them! LOL

BFF just wanted 2 lids to replace missing lids for her modular mates. Those were easy enough to take care of! I talked to BFF and she and I decided to host a party in January. Technically, on paper anyway, it's me hosting the party. But the reality is that it's both of us doing it! We will both invite people, we will both be hosting it, we will both do it. And we will both get the benefits. :)

So if you live near me and want to come to a Tupperware party in early January let me know and I'll give you the info o come. If you just want to order irregardless of where you live, let me know too.

Well, I have to go wake Bug for her meds and I'm off to bed!! Night all!!!

Snow

50 days ago I reported our first snow flakes of the season, but it didn't stick. It was pretty to watch it coming down while watching our awesome New Orleans Saints win a game though! :)

2 days ago the weather was 70 degrees and we made all the kids go outside to play because we weren't sure how much longer Indian Summer would last (yes, technically it wasn't Indian Summer because snow had already fallen, but the snow the freak thing!).

I just got home from the store, it is snowing, and this is no joke snow. It is COLD, and it is expected to stick and accumulate. It is expected to be the "first plowable" snow of the season with an accumulation of 2-5 inches overnight.

I'm excited about our first real snow, and that this means we just might have a white Christmas. But it's going to make getting to work tomorrow a bit interesting. People always drive a little crazy that first day after. Hopefully all the roads will have been plowed by the time I need to go to work too.

In just a little while BFF and I are heading out for a Tupperware party at a friend's house. Snow is NOT stopping us! LOL
