Ped-Egg1

I was bored one night and bought one of these damn things. I've been waiting 2 weeks for its arrival. Imagine my pissy-ness when I went to Walgreens the other day and saw them right on the shelf. No shipping charges. Boo.

Anywhoo, I was really excited about this thing. My feet have been less than smooth in the last 6 months. I don't know what to blame but they've been pretty gross. I actually had to pay an extra $4 on a pedicure because they were so rough. That has to tell you something.

So, my Ped Egg comes today. Mike, who's the worst person in the world when it comes to unmarked boxes, begs me to open it. I make him wait while I get in my jammies but the second I'm done he's got the box in my face. I ended up getting two and I'm glad. Mike immediatly used one on his feet (they're worse than mine) and I am not so sure these things should be shared. We had a callouse removal race (what doesn't kill a marriage will make it stronger I guess). It was disgusting! However, it also REALLY worked. My feet feel awesome and so do his. I totally recommend it. The only thing I can compare it to is a cheese grater for your feet. Not the best thought, but that's exactly what it's like. I love it.

That my friends, is my review of the Ped Egg. I give it two thumbs up. I also recommend you head to your local Walgreens to buy the darn thing and forego the $13 shipping charges. I'm a sucker. 

I was so overwhelmed with everything I learned at training that I sort of overwhelmed everyone else today. The Vice President of Operations reminded me that I needed to soak it all in and decide how it would be best applied. He was right. I put together a presentation and showed my boss. He was alright with what I had to say. He reminded me not to get too frustrated with everyone if they don't listen because everyone is super busy right now. I understand what he's saying. We just started a second shift less than a month ago and it's already on 10 hour days. We're just growing so fast! I'm lucky to be part of the ride and I hope that I can put my new training to work.

Mike and I aren't seeing much of each other these days. If I'm not working he is and it's getting a little old. He's super stressed and so I'm trying not to make a big deal about it all. I know eventually we'll get back on track and on the same schedule. It's hard to be parents and grow careers at the same time while still nurishing our own relationships. I'm just doing whatever I can to not end up like my parents. They live two seperate lives side by side. Normally, it's really bitter. I have lots of tendencies like my mother, not all of them are so wonderful. I need to keep them in check during times like these.

Tomorrow I'm out of the office again. I'm going to a corporation in Madison, WI. They're another home based distribution business. I'm interested in what I'll see there. There is always something to take away when you visit another business. Hopefully one day we'll be able to show off our growth and abilities.
