February was a whirlwind of activity! I had 5 parties! One practically every week. I have my 6th party next weekend. Luckily two people booked from my last party but those aren’t until April, so I am crossing my fingers I get more soon.

Matt set me up with my own checking account and I have a credit/debit card. I love it because it’s making me more accountable for my spending. Normally if I were to buy something I’d swipe a random credit card in my wallet (we have way too many) and never worry about where the money came from or how much I spent. But now that I know exactly how much I have in my account, I’m more cautious.

I feel so independent now!

Last week I signed up a new recruit. So now I can say I have a “downline”! If she becomes active this month (by having a party), I will move up to Bronze!!! I am really excited about that, so I’m trying to help her with whatever she needs. I can’t believe I’ve moved along so fast! My upline just moved up to Bronze and she has been doing Brown Bag for a year!

Yesterday Forrest and I finally had some together time. I bought him a hot chocolate, a book at Barnes & Noble he’d been wanting, and a flannel sheets set at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

I can’t explain how nice it feels to be able to buy whatever I want for the kids and NOT feel guilty later for buying it. Matt did try to stop me by giving me a lecture on how the kids didn’t need new sheets and that I should buy them at Walmart because they would be cheaper (and crappier quality duh).

Next time I’m not going to tell him my plans. It’s my money and I earned it.
