I know, I know, I need to post....

...but now I have mastitis. At 9 months. What? I thought I had made it through unscathed.

Micah's in school. He likes it alot. He already knows several Spanish words like red, September, backpack, hello, goodbye...

I'll post again when I can form longer sentences.

Adios!

Cash for your opinion?

On Thursday I got to be a part of a marketing focus group. The company doing the study called me out of the blue and asked me if I wanted to come in and talk about hair salons for 2 hours and they would give me $100 cash. Ummm, yes?

I was worried that I wouldn't have much to say, but the group leader moved the discussion along nicely and asked good questions. I was the only mom there with young kids, so hopefully I represented us well! I stopped short of telling them they should offer in-salon childcare.

It turned out the client was the Gene Juarez salon which is a Northwest chain. I started going there when we moved here because I didn't know where else to go and they've been around forever.

So I think I might have a new job. They called and asked if I would come give my opinion on grocery stores for $75. Wow! And to think I've been giving out my opinion it for free all this time!
