Life as a traveling saleswoman

So for RCYF (reformed church youth something) we are doing a fundraiser so we can go to Rockie Mountain High. We are selling coupons for free large pizza's, chicken, or cactus bread from Pizza Ranch (which has the best chicken!!!). Everyone else got them on Sunday, but I got them yesterday. Normally, I don't do fundraisers because I don't know anyone and all my friends are doing the same fundraiser. But since I am related to about 1/2 the county here, I had to do it. (everyone on this list bought some)
  • first stop: my uncle Al and Cal (twins). they bought some and then we sat around and watched bull riding, roping, etc. My brother decided that he wanted to be a bull rider. I said "I'll sign your cast"
  • today: grandma & grandpa S. there we got a bag of milky ways and fake clown noses
  • my great-aunt: we talked. phone rang. answered. we talked. phone rang. answered. we talked. phone rang. we left.
  • my aunt and uncle (Brenda & Greg): they found a viola when cleaning (their 3 daughters are amazing musicians) and gave it to me so I could see if it was better than the one my Aunt Sarah (who was using it for decoration) gave me. (we stopped at my Aunt Sarah's but no one was home)
  • my aunt Maria: we talked. She recommended my aunt Debbie and Uncle Mark
  • my aunt Debbie and my uncle Mark: We talked about dogs, chickens, cows, and wanting their son to get married and have grandchildren. Also gave us food.

After that we went home. My aunt Judy would also want some but my mom might buy the rest because we wanted some. My uncle Gene said he would buy any that we have left, but I don't think he's going to get very much.

This blog was totally random but who else do you know that in selling things, would get candy, fake noses, and a viola? I'm not even sure I want to go on the trip!

Sounds like fun. I think my fingers are going to be reduced to bloody stumps by the end of this week, we had a three hour rehearsal for the ACS concert tonight...AHHH! But Pirates sounds amazing since we've got some MHS percussion students helping us out! I miss you like crazy! We have to find another weekend that we can come down and see you!

That is an interesting desire Mark and Debbie have.

Becka said...

ah well. Their daughter lives in NY and is (maybe an intern?) a fashion designer. Their son is still in college.

Charity said...

She's not an intern anymore. She works quality control.
