Life Group

Thiago & I have been attending our Couples Life Group for about 2 months (I think). We are loving it, we look forward to going every Wednesday and wish it just wasn't 1 night a week. In our life group we have about 6 other couples and we are watching a DVD seminar Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage. Mark Gungar is hilarious and practical about relationship and marriages.

You have to check him out on youtube - these are a couple of my favorites from last night

Men's Brain Women's Brain

 Give or Take? (part 1)

Are you a giver or a taker? The roles can switch, men can be givers and women can be takers.

Ask more than once (Part 2)

Enjoy! I am sure you could youtube the whole seminar.

The Probaos' come to visit

Time had finally come and Melina, Daniel and Lucca came to visit for a little less 2 week.

While they were here we went shopping a lot, to Carowinds and Myrtle Beach. It was so much fun. Thiago and I have never been to Carowinds or Myrtle Beach.

Thanks to AAA we were able to enjoy the park at a discounted price. Carowinds was a nice amusment park and we were all able to enjoy some adult rides and of course the kiddie rides.

Where we stayed at in Myrtle Beach was about a 4 hour drive but it was so much fun. We got a room at a great rate - AAA come through again. The room we stayed in has a little kitchen so we were able to cook and not have to eat out for every meal for the 2 days we were there.

Jane Update

We took Jane to the vet again today for a follow up appointment. She does not like the vet at all, hissing since the minute we walked in the door.

The vet said to keep her on the liquid medicine for the herps. He also suggests we bring her to a ophthalmologists.

Needless to say we have yet to make an appointment but we are still giving her the medicine. We will take it 1 day at a time.

new addition to the Primo Family

That's right, the Primo family is growing by two. Two new pets that is. We went to Pet Smart to see what they had for Jane and I feel in love with the Dwarf Hamsters. We decided to buy 2 so they would have a play mate. If we did not buy them together than we could never add another hamster in the future or they would fight to death.

Meet Sugar and Spice

another vet visit

Today was the day we take Jane to another vet to get a second look. I was pretty nervous all day for Jane, i knew how she would react to going to another vet and I did not really want her to be drugged just so she could be looked at.

While I was getting her ready I have her some treats hoping that would calm her down at the vets. On the ride to the vet's it helped and while we were waiting she didn't make a noise. Once we were in the exam room and I went to pet her she hissed at me. When the assistant came in to talk to me Jane was acting up.

The assistant looked over the paperwork I had from the other vet and then took Jane to see the doctor. A couple minutes later Jane and the doctor were back in the exam room. I liked how this doctor just took the top off the crate Jane was in rather than trying to pull her out of the crate. He said sometimes it helps the cat calm down because she is use to the crate. Jane's attitude did not change but the doctor was able to get an okay look in her eyes and would like us to look at her eyes at home and take notes what we see.

The doctor said Jane has herpes and Uveitis. He said he has seen cases like this before in other cats and the medicine has cleared it up. So we left with 2 types of medicine - 1 pill and 1 gel that we have to give her twice a day. When we got home we tried the gel medicine which was a little hard.

I will keep you all updated with Jane's progress.

Mary Kay table for Teacher's Day

Today was Teacher's Day at local Staples and Office Depots. I was able to talk to the manger at Staples and set up a table outside with Mary Kay products.

All week I have been perparing and I was excited to for this event.

When I got to Staples, it looked like the people were waiting for a concert. When I arrived I called the manger so I could introduce myself and give him my business card. He did mention other people were inside selling other things.

As Thiago and I were setting up the table. I made an annocement about my table, which I am glad I did because little did I know there was a Sales Director from Mary Kay inside.

I was able to talk to people as they were entering and as well as they were exiting Staples. People did mention that someone was inside and that they had a different basket to raffle, but I didn't care. That made me want to get more business :)

In the end I had 18 Skin Care Survey's filled out and handed out a bunch of free samples. After the people filled out the Skin Care Survey they were able to take a free sample; Satin Hands, Color Card (eye shadow, blush and lip stick) or lip gloss (3 different colors).

I did not get any orders placed while I was at Staples but I did give the handouts out to everyone who walked by. The hand outs explained that if they place an order up until midnight they will recieve tax free and 10% off.

When I got home I was exhausted, I had a yummy frozen Margarita and took a nap. Then I picked a name out of the surveys and contacted the Winner. When I brought Nancy her basket she was so happy. She told me she was going to contact me to order some more blush and I reminded her about the 10% off she can recieve up until midnight.

Mary Kay raffle basket a $54 value

Humming bird feeder

As a house warming gift we got a hummingbird feeder. We decided to put a hanging plant outside instead of the feeder. With all of the heat and me not being home to water the plant, the plant has seem much better days.

After the gym I was walking around the complex and saw some hummingbirds at other people's feeders. The light bulb in my head went off so when I got home I set up the feeder outside.

I hope we get visitors :)
