Hello Thetas! I'm long overdue for doing one of these so here goes:
I'm currently working 5 days a week at a family practice. All of the health providers are nurse practitioners and most of our patients are on medicaid (state funded and is not to be confused with medicare). Since i cant say anything nice about my patients with the exception of the children, medicare, and private insurance patients( though some of these tick me off too), I'll stop here.
Recently I became a The Body Shop At Home consultant. I'm so excited about my new business. I figured since I've been using the products since 1993 I ought to be able to sell them well
I really like the company philosophies as well and what they support which helps my enthusiasm to sell
I dont even have my starter kit yet and I've already made a sale, and potentially already recruited someone to be a consultant. I'm planning an open house/business launch party in two weeks and planning a GIrls Night Out party for my daughter as a mother/daughter type of thing. my website should launch soon as well.
My oldest step son is still running cross country and is excelling in his honors classes. He's still hell bent on going to medical school though he's unsure of what kind of doctor he wants to be which is fine. He's only a high school sophomore and has plenty of time to decide.He also just turned 16 and cant wait to get his license and a car of some sort in February (Kentucky has a 6 month driver's permit period before being able to get your license). My step daughter was chosen to be in the gifted program at her school (she started middle school this year) and she too is also doing well. She's taking a break from sports this fall but is still keeping up with the violin, her school's math team, and will be joining me in my Yoga class next week. My youngest step son has found his sport in football. This is the first year he's played football but is already quite good and plays running back. He is also playing violin.
My husband just got a promotion at work and then his division was bought out by AT&T. His job is safe and he still loves his job however this could mean a possible move to the Atlanta area after the first of the year. I have mixed feelings about it. On the one hand Atlanta has more opportunities for me as far as nursing jobs, socially (Theta, BSP, Junior league, alumnae panhellenic, etc), and excellent shopping, but on the other hand the traffic........I HATE ATLANTA AREA TRAFFIC!!!!!! traffic makes me tense and nervous. I can barely handle the traffic here which is zilch compared to atlanta, but anyways we'll see what happens there.
Other than that I'm trying to get more involved in my xmas shopping,taking pilates and yoga three times a week, and am currently reading three books (one about buddism, history/science behind the bible, and leonardo da vinci).
HOpe all is going well with everyone!
