When life gives you lemons...

No matter how hard you work, how well you prepare, or how diligently you try, life will occasionally hand you lemons.  When life gives you lemons, you can either choose to make lemonade or make life take the lemons back.  Personally, I don't care much for lemonade so I guess that leaves making life take the lemons back.  I am going to make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson me lemons!  For those that don't recognize this little rant in the making, it is from a video game that we really like, Portal 2.  This Cave Johnson guy goes on a complete rant about what to do when life gives you lemons and it ends with a discussion about burning life's house down...with lemons!  See below for the entire rant...it is definitely worth reading if not finding on youtube!

Okay, there was a point to this post and we are going to get back to it! 

So life didn't just hand me lemons last week, it dumped a metric s*** ton in my lap...or so it felt at the time.  I lost my job last week.  I have spent the last year busting my rear for this company and this is what I get...pulled into an office with a group of people on a random Thursday with no warning and told that its all over.  So what did I do?  The only thing I could think of at the time; I held my held, got in my car, and balled for about the next two hours.  When I finally stopped the water works I started thinking, and planning, and scheming, and by the end of the night I had already secured a part time job and put out at least a dozen resumes. 

Now I don't live in a place that is exactly swamped with jobs right now.  I expect it to take a while to find something in my field.  However, I do not expect to be just a grad student and housewife.  Oh no, I would never be happy not contributing to the household income...that is just how I am.  So I decided to try my hand at selling Thirty-One products.  I got myself all signed up over the weekend and now I am ready to start selling.  This is where you all come in.  At this point in my life, I literally can't afford to be proud.  So as hard as this is for me, I am asking you all to help me by either booking an online or catalog party, making a purchase, or sharing this post and link with everyone you know.  Please help us keep our heads above water.

There is a link below at the bottom of this post, and up at the top, that takes you to my little corner of the Thirty-One world.  Follow it, and go to my parties under the picture all the way to the right.  The party is Kristyn's Launch Party and will be open until 8/27/2012!  Thank you so much in advance for everything I know you are about to do for me!




Thank you for being such wonderful friends, family, and fans.

Love,

Kris
