Ellis meets Mickey
My son Ellis has been offered an Internship at Disneyland. This would be a 3 month commitment for him to work there and it counts as a semester of Communications. Then at the end of the semester he decides if he wants to go permanent . Jessica and the kids can stay here for the semester then move if they decided to go, or stay here and have Ellis come back with an Internship at Disney to put on his resume.
They have a lot of thinking to do but everyone knows how awesome Disney is.

Rainbows and gardens Spring is coming!
We had rain!! Look out East side of America you will be next. It was a beautiful rain that had a massive double rainbow for the people driving home from work to look at.
I have noticed that Arizona offers up rainbows many more times than I ever saw in Alabama. sometimes the sky is just riddled with them. Yesterday there were just 2 massive rainbows and that was totally worth seeing. The sky then became vivid pink and then sunset was upon us.
So maybe we are in Arizona's version of April showers right here in February. If so I am going to get ready to plant. I am going to work on my raised garden this year. I need it raised because for one reason, the dogs walk over my plants and are making my shrubs break. If I elevate it, then they will keep those muddy paws out of there. The soil being what it is here, this will allow me to have a better chance at a successful garden.
My insurance agent will not leave me alone. He wants to meet with me and I just know he wants to add more coverage on me and I am not looking for new coverage. Did someone contact him to tell him about the push over on 31st ave? I think they might have, he is pretty insistent that we meet. I keep cancelling the appointments and he keeps making new ones with me. ARGH....
No one will believe what we did last night. Gerry brought home Rock Star or Guitar hero.... one of those games and we all sang on the microphone. Yes we have stay at home Karaoke night!!!!! It was fun. We sang several song all of us but Casey and she is next. She was cooking. ( I think it was planned that she miss it like that) By the time she finished the mic was packed up and we were all exhausted. No wonder all the stars suffer from exhaustion... It is hard work, but it was fun.
Sarah Katherine went to the doctor for her check up and she weighed in at 8 pounds and 9 ounces. She is really growing like a weed. She is a petite little girl. She was only 5 pounds at birth. That is a 3 pound gain in just 2 short months. She also got her shots so she had a rough day yesterday.
Ellis has started his second year in college and he is taking Spanish and communications. He will be getting his associates degree in December and he is still maintaining his A average. I am very proud of his commitment to school and getting his degree. Once he has his associates he will start working on his bachelor and then he will be ready for Radiologist training. That is what he his ultimate goal is. There is a 2 year waiting list here for the Radiology program so he will work on his degree while he is waiting. He has it all planned out and I am for one very proud of his achievements. Working a full time job while going to school full time is quite a commitment.
Casey's friend Lisa is going to be the newest Avon lady in Birmingham starting tomorrow. So happy to get her started selling and now she will be out there providing samples and brochures in the age old tradition. An exciting time for a young lady to start with her very own business. She is so excited and is already making her contact list. That is what will make her a success.
Wanted to let you know the kittens are doing fine and Filhinha is a great mother. She spends all her time with those babies. She isn't one of those wandering off mothers that you see sometimes in the cat world. Her name, Filhinha means Daughter in Portuguese.

My cat had her kittens, one black and white, one grey and white and one solid black. Since we told her she was only allowed to have 1 or 2 babies she of course had 3. Cats are so stubborn and find a way to do everything in their own way.
She found an almost empty cabinet in my bathroom to have them and so it has been like she has an apartment for them. No pups can open the door and neither can the 2 day old kittens.
Luis promoted my last hub so well that I had a huge number of hits on it. I wrote about my love of the Brazilian's and the guild that I am a part of. The hubs are another place I can write and it allows me to have a bigger audience of strangers reading. Mom you will notice I smiled in this picture. You can see my dimples.
This week has been spent on sprucing up my Mahalo existing pages and working on a bulk project. 13 pages so far on games that are available online for free. I am hoping for a good turn out and if you are curious, please check them out. Here are some widgets so you can click those and visit Mahalo.
Have you heard about Glue. It is a great little assistant to see what others are loving on the Internet. I find that when I love something others come and visit and when they find something worth gluing I rush to check it out as well.
My Avon project is going pretty well. I went out today and met some of my neighbors and they seemed interested in the products and wanted the catalog. It is a little hard to spout off the web address while standing there at their front door.
Since the new catalog is online now I wanted to route some of them to it, so I hope they read it off of the back cover.
Jon ( Tony's Brother) said that he got his order within 3 days of ordering. He was shocked it was that fast, but he lives near a hub. He is a former Avon representative, I may ask him to reconsider selling it now that they do it online. He was a very popular Avon rep. Gave up the business because he was spending too much time delivering his orders. Now that is where I would like to be in a few months :)
The Grammy's were amazing. Pink and her high flying act was amazing. It was worthy of Vegas!
The Michael Jackson Tribute song was enough to bring me to tears. First it dealt with the rainforest and second he died too young and then the song was so good. so very good. I am not the biggest Michael Jackson fan but I have grown up with him and I believe he was a very talented song writer and singer.
This has been my week and I would love to hear about yours. So let me know what is new, amazing and fun in your lives.

My little Brother
Today is my baby brother's birthday. Happy Birthday Ray!!
If you were closer I would bake you a cake and sing happy birthday.
Ray is in Oregon and I have not seen him in several years now. This is becoming the most common thread in my adult life. I nver see my family that is now spread all over the USA. From Kentucky, to Alabama and Westward to Washington state and Oregon.
I was fortunate in getting Ellis and Casey to relocate here so I can selfishly see them all the time. I can't ask Angie to relocate, because she has an awesome life there in Kentucky and Tony has an excellent job. Casey was too young to have a carreer or a reason to deny my request that she move to Arizona. Ellis was ready for a move and I think it has been a good move for him and the family.
But I have not made it north to see Ray and Cheryl and I should do that. I miss them both and then when it is one of their birthdays I get all nostalgic for them to be in the same state with me.
Happy Birthday Ray one more time :) since it is the big one, I wanted to make it special for you.

I am selling AVON
AVON. I am now an AVON Representative. This is a very fun thing for me to say. I have always loved the products and now with my being out of work, I decided to go back to selling Avon.
The greatest thing is that they now have an online store all set up for me and all I have to do is direct people to the site and people all over the world can order directly from me. http://vickigoodwin.avonrepresentative.com/
Most people that have purchased AVON know that the products are excellent quality and usually very nicely priced.
If anyone wanted to try some of the products I offer free shipping on orders placed through the online site.
So if you are needing some lotion or some shampoo or any other product then you can find those at the website.
AVON isn't just about the make-Up and the perfume. They offer so much more.
If you want to do a fundraiser for Breast Cancer awareness or any other fundraiser, then contact me. We can set up an event that will raise money for breast cancer awareness or Domestic abuse or any other cause. I will be participating in a fundraiser at hometown Buffet the first weekend in February and 10% of all sales go to breast cancer awareness.
If you have thought about selling then let me know. The start up is the lowest it has been in a while. I would love to get you started in your very own business.Contact me and lets talk AVON vicgoodwin@gmail.com
Unusual blog from me I know, but I wanted to share with you what was going on in my life and give you the opportunity to have my links. I would love to hear from you.
