Yep, I'm losing my mind! lol Just a little stressed out! My husband and I are now legally separated (this is a good thing!) and I'm just waiting on the military to finalize my paperwork so I can leave Germany. So, here's my Oct:

I ship my car on 15 Oct
Household Good picked up on 16 Oct
Unaccompanied baggage picked up on 28 Oct
Fly on 31 Oct, spend the night in Baltimore with one kid and two dogs, then on to Ohio the next day.

Oh, and did I mention how awesome (?) my Oct looks? I have shows on:
2, 8, 18, 22, 24, 25, and 28 Oct. Oh, and 3 catalog shows.

WHEW! A blessing and a curse all at once!! So, you guys shoot me an email here and there to keep me sane, OK?

You are so rocking Debi! Can't wait to have you stateside. Give me a call when you get here (or call before then!). I'm back in Florida, so call me here....PM me if you need the number.

Your show schedule is crazy...but doable :). The only advice to share from my departure last year is to have a plan in place for your bookings (i.e. pass them immediately to your team.) Once you get stateside, your focus will be on rebuilding your business and it'll be hard to think about your Germany hosts.

Knock your sales out of the park this month!

Thank you Kris! I'm not even booking past Oct so I've already passed some shows on to my team.

I am really excited!

Wow! You are going to be one tired mama!

You go, girl! You are an inspiration. All those people who come up with excuses and take the month they are moving off then two months getting started in the new place can learn a lesson from you! Maybe not to have 10 shows in the month they are moving, but to not sit on their laurels!

TWO DAYS AND COUNTING!!!!!

Well, I had one Show cancel but all the others were a go. So far, only one was only "average." The rest have been at least $500 to $800. I'll sure take that under the circumstances. I have one more to close before I leave, three catalog Shows ongoing and a Cooking Show scheduled the first weekend in Dec (I should have my stuff by then). It's going to be awesome because it's a bunch of girls I went to school with forever ago! (We graduated in 85!)

We're going to stay one night in Maryland then DRIVE to Ohio. My son's dad is in Chesapeake Beach and wants to see him so that's cool. Then we pick up a rental car Sat and hit the road. Should take about 7 hours, which is fine with me. (Anyone around I70 or I68 between MD and Columbus OH?)

My internet will be on in my new apartment on Tuesday so I'll check in by then!
