6/24/13 Monday Chester, Work, Tribal Challenge “Ivyland Godessess”

6/24/13

Chester got the OK to start running again.

Love having my running buddy back in action!

Penn State blow up – who needs this??
Saw it at TUESDAY MORNING when I was
out on sales calls

A new Account to be — anyone know Wendy??

Stopped by to see GENE at Steam — wasn’t there.
Who knows GENE?? help!

Lastly, does anyone know Sam Schubert from
Maggio’s restaurant??

Warm calls are always better than cold ones.

Rachael & Danny got me this new flavor
made by Polar. It’s tasty – check it out!

We’ve been having Thunderstorms.
The Thundershirt doesn’t totally calm down Chester
but it helps.

Anyone interested in doing a Tribal Challenge?

There are four of us doing the run.
“Ivyland Goddesses”

Tanya is in charge of costume design.

We are who we are

The guy was busy & I could only drop
off my price list.
Anyone know Rick Smyth??

This is a new account to be – under construction.
34 N. Main – that’s the name AND address

Tasting Wine in the middle of a construction zone –
pretty cool!

I was able to squeeze in a short visit.

Thursday 6/20/13 Work then Play…..literally!

Thursday 6/20/13

Driving down I-95 today saw this car
all tricked out with Hello Kitty —
it’s hard taking pictures while driving 60mph!

Had an appointment here in Bethlehem.
Guy wasn’t there.
WHAT’s up with that???
So I drove to center city (my office) to
Bethlehem (total of 85 miles)
and the guy blew off my appointment.
That’s my business.
I don’t understand why people think this
is OK to do? Anyone have an explanation?

found a cute little byob in downtown Bethlehem.
Looking forward to trying it.
Heard GREAT reviews about it!!

This is a new place I am trying to get into –
it is still under construction but it looks like
it’s going to be FUN 🙂
(see me in the photo?)

Stopped at this place to meet the wine manager –
it’s already an established account.
They have iPads for their wine list – totally cool.

I DID meet the manager, he actually WAS there.
However, he needs a personality lesson…..

friend Jesse invited a few of us to a Rotary fundraiser
at the local theater in Hatboro.

friend Joyce, Jesse & ME!

as you know – Jesse is my friend, breakfast advisor
AND financial advisor.

if you need ANY of those services you
can contact Jesse here:

jesse.brookreson

learn more here:

The play was lots of fun. Everyone should attend
Community Theater!

a stop at Iron Abbey afterwards!
(Work for me!)
Jesse with fellow Rotary members
Tom Bender & Gary Chamberlain

FREE chicken strips….. (HA!)

June 18th 2013 Tuesday gym, stickers, Appointments, wine, beer

June 18th 2013

I love the flexibility of my job that it allows
for me to squeeze the gym in!

Chester was upset – we had Thunderstorms.
The coat helps but doesn’t totally calm him down.

I signed up to get some FREE stickers from stickermule

if it’s free, it’s for me!

“Sticker joy”

I signed up to be a VIP on Gary Vaynerchuk’s website.
That’s how I got the cool stickers.
You know how I LOVE stickers!!!

http://www.garyvaynerchuk.com/

Had an appointment here & the guy was a no show!
That’s my business…. people make appointments & break them. Sometimes they cancel other times they
just let you show up but they don’t…..

Working from home……
fairly organized…..

Had an appointment here — BUT the girl sent me
a text and cancelled. At least I didn’t drive
ALL the way there like the last place.
We are rescheduled for next week.
