Party for New Business- Going Green

Yesterday I had a successful home party to officially launch my new business. Thank you to all my friends who came to support me!!!! I also want thank those who ordered stuff without even coming!!!

Along with the fantastic make-up line the biggest seller was the Snap products. I am trying to go green in my house. I use this multi-purpose cleaner everywhere and it even gets red wine out of fabric and carpet. I have the same bottle for over 1 year now. It only cost $10.50. I am so busy placing the orders and doing 5 loads of laundry there is not much time for blogging today. Check out my jsshopping website (see above) if you are interested in going green too!!!

Don't make fun of the artwork I am doing the best I can being a newbe and all.

Hooray for What!!!!

So my brother (The one with Red Hair) is an actor and he is in this show "Hooray for What" at the Medicine Theater in Manhattan. It is a revival of a 1937 anti-war musical. It was quite funny but the show was very long and dated. We still had a great time watching him on stage. The best part of the show was my brother. Of course I am a bit partial but check out his reviews.


As the comic centerpiece of the oddball scientist, Mike Lesser works very hard and it pays off. He turns in a very high-energy, savvy, madcap comedy pro performance that is the show’s saving grace and more. He’s terrific. His nutty Marx Brothers style of performance, his wild look, his excellent timing and rubber face are pure daffy delight.


With a shock of Brillo-textured red hair, a chirpy, nasal voice and a sunny face as comically expressive as Harpo Marx, Mike Lesser turns in a rip-roaring performance as Chuckles without a whiff of Ed Wynn. He's especially funny when reacting to the audience's lack of response on occasions when dated jokes about forgotten subjects fly over everyone's head.

Mike, we are so proud of you keep up the great work.

Belated Wish List Wednesday

So I just got back from partly sunny/rainy Florida. I will say that we did get into our bathing suits every day we were there. It is certainly better than the cold New York weather. We had such a wonderful time catching up with our old friends and having our children really get to know one another. My son even wrote about our trip for the school news and wrote that he loves them. I had tears in my eyes. We had a wonderful time!!!!

I was tagged by my friend Kwana . She is letting me off the hook because I am soo busy this week. I still haven't unpacked or put all of the laundry away. Maybe next time.

I am a little late for Wish List Wednesday but I feel I must keep the fans happy!!!

Some New Wishes:

1. Traveling more often - the memories are always so wonderful
2. Organizing this messy desk
3. Finally putting away all the clothes from our vacation
4. Enjoying the next couple of months with the kids - (they are going to sleep away camp for 7 1/2 weeks)
5. Hoping James gets kicked out of Big Brother this Sunday!!!

I am off to making dinner and putting away some of these clothes. I then have pick up a bunch of boxes of girls scout cookies, pick up my daughter from a play date , pick up 5 boys from a baseball clinic and finally dropping them all off!!! I am exhausted just thinking about it!!!

Wish List Wednesday

It's been a crazy couple of days getting ready to leave for Florida tomorrow. Unfortunately I don't have much time for blogging. I decided I couldn't miss Wish List Wednesday!!! Yesterday I took my mom for a colonoscopy. She is high risk because four years ago she had stage 3 lung cancer. Today she is cancer free and yesterday the Doctor came out to me and said her colon is clean and she doesn't need to come back for 5 years. So my wish for today is that good health continues for my mom. She has been amazingly strong over the last couple of years. Looking forward to spending a couple of days with some great friends in Florida. I guess my second wish would be sunny skies in Florida!!!

Lunching With The Ladies/Happy St. Patrick's Day

After putting in my 4th load of laundry I did a fast shopping at Syms. I was very successful last year with a bunch of tankinis. They have a large selection of designer tankini bathing suits that were last year's fashions. I don't care when it came out I just care about how they fit. Of course I have 17 different versions of black tankinis. The price tag on these suits are from $80 to about $120 and Syms sells them for .......$29!!!!! After trying on about 10, 2 fit and looked pretty darn good. The reason for the rush for a new suit is we are heading to Florida for Easter weekend to visit some friends. Weather permitting I plan on playing in the pool and beach the whole time.

I then pick up my gals Patricia and Kwana to go for a birthday lunch for my dear friend Patricia. I haven't been feeling great but a little dose of the ladies and I always feel so much better. Lunch was great. I had a yummy portabella mushroom & Gorgonzola salad. The waiter threw in the chocolate mousse cake for free.

Happy Birthday Patricia!!!! I hope you had a wonderful day!!!!

I am now cooking corn beef and cabbage in honor of St. Patty's day and my house smells great!!!

I can't wait for dinner!!!

Clean-Up Day!!!

So this morning I got up early (note I am not a morning person) and helped clean up our town with my daughter. We went around our town with a large garbage bag, rubber gloves, and I of course put on the orange vest. I totally embarassed my daughter but I didn't care. I literally stoped traffic. Since we live in a very small town we knew everybody driving by and doing errands in town. They all wanted to know what I got arrested for!!! It was very rewarding. The children even got a free a slice of pizza and soda donated from our 2 local pizza places.

Just want to give a shout out to my friend Jill whose Birthday is today!!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

Thank G-d it's Friday

I may ramble on because I just had 2 glasses of wine with dinner. Had a great day. Instead of doing my usual spinning class I took a walk with a friend. I thought it would save some time and be a bit easier. Well, I was wrong. My friend walks so fast and chooses all the steepest hills in the neighborhood. I am sure my tushy will hurt tomorrow.

Had Chinese and did some shopping with another friend. I helped her comb the racks. You know go into a discount store and find quality trendy items. We found her a cool dress and shirt. That is one of my favorite things to do!!!

I then had 2 of my daughter's friends come over for a play date and dinner before their 5th grade activity night. I need to do this more often. Boy do you learn a lot just hanging out in the kitchen with them.

Finally, had a nice Shabbat dinner with the hubby and the son. It is nice to have one child to ourselves.

Just waiting for the tween to get home. Hopefully she had fun.
