Saturday list
Jul 28, 2007 Friends, work work work
1. The first thing Madison said upon waking up this morning was, “I like that Jamie because he has a great giggle! I want him to come over again!”
2. In case you don’t know this, Charlie is, as we said in the 80s, a babe! Ice blue eyes, salt and pepper beard — handsome handsome handsome!
3. His wife ain’t bad either. Frankly I was nervous about the meeting and I shouldn’t have been. Cecily is even funnier in person, which you might not think possible but she is. On the way to the restaurant I told Brett, “If they lived here in town, I think they’d be some of my favorite people to hang out with!” I just liked her. And Tori? She is a child that I’d like to get to know better. Spunky and smiling and full of sparkling personality — she’s gonna be one helluva grown up person, I know.
4. My thiswomanswork email wasn’t being forwarded to my gmail account for some reason and now it’s trickling in. Thanks to all of you who sent me notice about the NPR adoption series! I have it bookmarked but am not sure when I’ll get to listen to it. I have a hard time listening to talk radio/spoken word when I’m working unless it’s on something like web design. I revamped my sister’s web site listening to Fresh Air, for example. (We’re still tweaking it — she doesn’t like the white buttons.)
5. I got a call for a possible job from that networking thing that I figured would be job-less — go figure! And I forgot to tell you all that I brought cookies to hand-out (’cuz, you know, smart cookie) and that turned out to be a good idea. Everyone was enormously pleased to get a cookie, even the people who did nutritional coaching and probably create plans that leave little room for cookies. I also ended up meeting with Cheryl’s Cookies, from whence I bought said cookies. He’s going to call me with information about creating tins with our logo to bring to meetings. (The tag line of my postcards say, “Call for a meeting — I’ll bring the cookies.”)
I’ll share my postcards as I send ‘em out. I sent out 79 of these last week. I’ll follow up in a couple of weeks and then a couple of weeks after that, I’ll send the next in the series. Here’s my first batch, front and back:

Dawn, your postcard is WONDERFUL! Well done. I bet you’ll get lots of calls.

Yes! Great work. I know they will generate interest and the cookies at meetings are a great ice breaker.
