An Opportunity....Possibly

My Sister Brandy - sent me this email....."Hey. I wanted to share a little opportunity...take it for what it's worth! One of my friends owns Impact Guns (http://www.impactguns.com/) they get over a million hits per month. I've been working with them for a while. They are sponsoring my new guns show http://www.lockandloadshow.com/
Anyway, they are doing a deal with Efusion www.Efusjon.com/brandyvega it's different types of energy vitamin packed drinks and they are going to launch it on their impact guns website starting on Monday. They have given me an opportunity to get on board with them. So, I'm just sharing that with you if your interested. Here's how it works Impact Guns hired 2-full time people to handle all of the business for Efusjon which is a multilevel marking company (MLM) I can tell you that I'm not interested in MLM at all. I don't do sales very well! But, I have decided to join and let Impact Guns do all the dirty work...although the drinks are good. I don't have to go out contacting people and trying to sell them drinks because over a million people are going to their site and they have committed 2 full time employees to answer phones and build our teams. It appears to be an amazing opportunity to make a little or a lot of extra money without doing a ton of work because they already have the viewer/people coming to their website.

Because I'm friends with them they have given me this opportunity...they are also allowing any of their employees to sign up and reap the rewards of their labors and website. They told me that I could offer it to a few people. Listen, I don't really care if you join or not but I do want to offer you the chance if you are interested or looking for an opportunity. I will tell you that in a down economy people really turn to MLM to make money. But, with this it's like your out talking to over a million people a month when you don't have to but you get the benefits. I don't know a ton about it but I've decided to sign up. I also got my mom and sister (that would be me) to sign up. I figure it's a gamble worth taking. I just signed up today and it cost $194 bucks total. I'm going to give it about 6 months and see what happens. Now, here's what Impact Guns has said that the group that gets on board with them by tonight at 8pm AZ time will have their full attention, first come first serve so if you miss the 8pm deadline you will still get their help but you will have to do a little more work. We will benefit from the website, they employees will help build their team/business. They are willing to do that because when we all make money they make money. For the $194 bucks I get a case 48 Efusjon drinks, $30 of the cost was the enrollment cost and then tax and shipping. Each month your commitment is $120 for the drink plus shipping and handling. But, you can get out at anytime and there is no commitment! So, if you are interested email me or give me a jingle...to be on the Impact Guns team you need to sign up by tomorrow! Remember, it's a gamble I don't know what will happen but I do believe this could be a huge opportunity and it's one I'm willing to take. (P.S-I'm a penny pincher/tight wad!) ;o) BTW-you won't hurt my feelings either way!" Brandy Vega Richardson

I Leslie did sign up today but am only willing to try it for 3 months....Brandy has a little more $ than I do. he he Anyways I think it's a risk worth taking because it is getting in to it during the beginning stages and that's when most MLM companies make people money...but the other big reason that I'm willing and yes Will agreed to let me is because Impact Guns is going to have it on their web page that gets so many hits every month and they will fill in your down lines so I don't have to. I don't want to be the family member or friend that is always trying to sell stuff because that's just not me. There's 15 levels and we would be level 3-4 from what the guy told me. I called Impact Guns myself today because I'm a total tightwad skeptic. I probably will like the drinks but I don't want to be pushing a product. :o)

Who knows I might just have a lot of energy but I think I'll try it out and be daring for once in my life because it could make me rich. Studies show that during slow economic times that MLM companies sore because so many unemployed people do them hence Mary Kay, Amway, Melaluka (spell?) and the list goes on and on. People drink energy drinks all of the time and Acai berry is the newest super antioxidant that people including Oprah's doctors say is fantastic for us so I think this drink has the appeal people want. They have an all natural one and then one that adds sugar and caffeine and two more flavors in the works :o) www.myefusjon.com/lesliewright

Need Ideas & Update...

I would love some ideas on cute vinyl wall sayings for my house....any ideas?

Update on our garden: we have corn, green onions, carrots, zucchini, squash, peppers, watermelon and one tomato plant growing so far! We are excited!!! We go weed once a week usually Saturday mornings. I'll try to take a picture this weekend and post them.

Will is wanting me or anyone actually to cut off his cast. Poor guy is miserable and doesn't go back to the surgeon until May 11th!

Calvin's hair is starting to look cuter and curling around his ears. In case you are wondering he has wanted to grow his hair for about 3 years now but we always made him buzz it into a Cesar cut and spike up the front but he wants it long like the twins on Disney show and all of the skater kids. :o) I'm thinking that when it's 115 degrees outside he might change his mind.

McKenna sang so well at her school talent show! We were so proud of her and she looked adorable. She got a lot of compliments as everyone thought she sounded just like Taylor Swift as she sang, "Love story". She can't wait to turn 11 on May 21st and have a Hawaii themed party.

School is getting out May 28th so they are getting excited for the summer. I wish I didn't have to work during the summer but actually that is our busiest time at the school district at least in Payroll.

I'm feeling pretty good after seeing an Herb Doctor a little over a month ago and taking liquid herbs. I will be going back for a follow up very soon. I am teaching my first real Coupon Sense workshop this weekend in Mesa and am nervous but excited about that.

Will is staying busy and that is a good thing! Houses haven't been this cheap in decades so luckily he is still selling some. When you can get a 2100 sq ft home for $45,000 that is less than 2 years old that is just insane!!! He is a short sale and foreclosure expert and is looking into getting his own broker's license soon. Other than his arm in pain and cast giving him daily grief he is doing well.

Hope you all are doing well. Remember to tell me your ideas for my house walls pretty please.

Be Honest........

Please be totally honest with me even if you think it might hurt my feelings.....do I look old enough in this picture well in any picture for that matter but especially this one to be the Mother of 3 Children with the oldest one being Will my husband who is 4 years older than me?

This is the second time someone has thought Will was MY SON. I had to get an import connection on my computer today by one of our software companies and so as the IT guy gained access on my computer screen from his over in California he says seeing this picture on my background, "Oh is this your family?" I say, "yes my husband and kids." He says, "so you have three children, 2 boys and one girl what a cute family you have." I say, "thank you but we just have two kids." He says, "OH I thought that the one on the bottom was your son...he is a young looking man." I say, "yes he does look young for an almost 40 year old husband." He says, "well he is a young man compared to me as I'm 58 years old and have college age children."

As I said before this is the second time someone has asked me if my husband was MY son from this picture.....so do I look old enough be his Momma????? The other guy from the technology department was in our office a few months ago and looked at the same picture and asked me the same thing and he was face to face with me! When I told him no it was my husband he says that he thought I was way too young to have a son bigger than me but that Will just didn't look old enough to be the Dad in the picture so he assumed I was the Mom. Please be honest....I can take it.....I will immediately hide the picture and start saving for botox or something! I don't want to look 50 years old already. :O) I know Will looks very young but really his Mother? I'm just very curious if I look like his Mom...it's eating away at me and I need to know the truth not just the nice answer. :o)

Will's follow up appt with surgeon

This is Will the day before his follow up visit with the surgeon over at his brother's house for an Easter get together (that post will come later this week). Monday Will and I went to the follow up visit with the surgeon and they took his sling off, then his hard plastic splint and then began cutting this padding stuff.

It sticks to your skin obviously. His elbow was very tender because he wasn't able to bend it for almost 3 weeks.

She tried being careful but it all looked painful.

Still peeling the fuzz off
There it is the incision where he had 8 very large stitches. The picture below is before the doctor came and started pulling them out which was extremely painful. Poor Will about after the sixth one got all pale and almost past out...he was sitting on the table and started tipping over and the doctor helped lay completely over on the table so thank goodness he wasn't standing. It made me sick to my stomach so I couldn't watch.

Viola stitches are out! They were totally shocked that he didn't have more bruising but it is because his skin is so thick that it doesn't show. If you compare it to his other arm it is bruised but not like most people bruise.

Now after lying down for a few minutes and regaining his color we saw the X-rays. It was Will's first time to see all of the metal in his arm and wrist. The metal plate is about 4-5 inches long and at least 1-1.5 inches wide or at least it looks like from my perspective. He has about 12-18 metal pins in there and a few screws. The doctor said he will probably need another surgery and that he still has some fractured bones in there but that it was the best they could do. Due to the complexity he required assistance from another surgeon and they used double the amount of metal than they had anticipated and it was according to the surgeon ranked in the top 3 of worst breaks he has ever operated on. "It is so busted up in there it was just crazy!" The doctor said wash up your arm, we will put a cast on you and I'll see you in 4 weeks. I asked him what the prognosis was and he said it is going to be weeks and weeks and at least one more surgery before we can speculate that.

Will finally getting to get his arm wet. It's been driving him crazy to not be able to itch it, use it, move it etc and most of shower!!! He has to wrap it with a couple of towels then double trash bag it and tie it up tight.

This is what he left in a short arm and wrist cast and his sling. His fingers are still swollen and his elbow is sore but he is thrilled to have the option of straightening out his elbow now. Poor guy has really been a trooper through all of this and never complains.

He had the kids signed their names on his cast the underneath, they thought that was awesome! :O)
