Monday's Top Fives

43things.com Top All-Time Goals for August 28, 2006

1.lose weight - moved from 4th to first.
I'm working towards this - actually I'm always thinking about it, not accomplishing much though.

2. stop procrastinating - new to the top five
Not on my list at present, but maybe I'm just procastinating.

3. write a book - dropped to 3rd from second
have thought about it, but I know I'm not gifted there. I'd make a good editor, just not a writer.

4. Fall in love - dropped from thrird to 4th
- still falling after 17 years (married for almost 14).

5. be happy fell from second to 5th
- I think happiness is fleeting and can change in a moment so I'm just I'm trying to learn to be content instead.

I think it's interesting to see what people want to do in their lives. To see what my goals are just look at the sidebar or click here.

No More Planet Pluto

Pluto demoted under new definition of planet

Definition of a planet - "a celestial body that is in orbit around the sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a … nearly round shape, and has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit."

The article goes on to say that "Pluto doesn't qualify because its orbit is inclined relative to the rest of the solar system and crosses over the orbit of Neptune."

I'm not really sure how to take this. I think they could leave Pluto in, but anything discovered afterwards that did not fit the definition would not be.

Any thoughts?

Blogger Beta

If you're wondering what's happened to the look and layout of my blog. Don't worry. I'm playing with the Blogger Beta version. Once I figure it all out - I'll hopefully have things back to normal - well as normal as I get anyway.

Dates with Kids

Hubby and I have decided to go on dates with our 2 girls (5 & 7). We have decided to allocate 25$ per child.

On our first set of dates, I took the oldest and we went shopping at the mall – she loved it! Hubby took the youngest and they went to see a movie – a movie she wanted to see.

The next day, we switched kids and the youngest and I went shopping while the oldest and daddy went to an Art Gallery – afterward they bought some canvas, paints, and brushes at the dollar store. My youngest is still saying thank you to me and it’s been 2 weeks.

This was an awesome experience for all of us. We got to spend time alone with each child and they got all our attention. My oldest daughter discovered she likes Slushies and my youngest discovered that her and her dad have more in common. Can’t wait to do it again, next month.

My First Avon Order

I got my first Avon delivery the other day - I was just so excited! I didn't think I would be this happy to get it. I checked over everything I received and organized by who ordered what and then started trying the product I got for myself.

I surprised even myself by how much I like the stuff. It really is great quality. One product really stands out for me - the Nailwear nail polish. I put it on Wednesday night and it's barely worn - so unlike what usually happens to me. Usually my nails need a touch up everyday.

There are many other products I want to try. I'll keep you posted as to what stuff works for me.

My Avon Web Page

I've recently set up an Avon Canada web page, in which you can send me your orders - anytime, day or night. Then I would place your order and deliver it on the usual schedule. This really only works for people who live in my area or with my family (whom I visit often).

If you live outside my area, you can order your Avon products directly from Avon - there is a 5.95 shipping/delivery charge. Remember this is Avon Canada.

Couple Surfing

"Love me, love my blog," as Netorati couple-surf - Yahoo! Canada News

How interesting! I think hubby and I do this a bit. We IM a lot but nothing racey - just normal "how's work going?"; "could you stop at the grocery store?" and of course talking about the news over lunch.

Boy I must be out of it too - I didn't realize we, internet people, had a name: Netorati. Not sure if I'm keen on it; we'll see if it grows on me.

Just started with Avon

I just started as an Avon Independent Sales Representative. My first order goes in tomorrow. So far I’ve given away 5 brochures – 3 of them I drove 2 and a half hours and hand delivered them (we were going anyway). I’m so glad I did – they are buying stuff!!!

I know for the first bit, I’ll be buying more for myself than selling it – I need to start using the product, so I can recommend it. I hate when people try to sell me something they’ve never tried or use.

My first goal with Avon is to make enough extra cash to get high speed internet. With buying lots for myself that may take longer than I expect but I think I will make it there before 1 year. I’ll let you know when I make it.
