AI top 7---Mariah Carey night


When I first tuned in I thought "you've got to be kidding me Mariah Carey night" eee gads. I think Simon said it best after David Cook "its been karaoke up until this point!"

David Cook, man that guy has some serious talent! I bet no one EVER thought it possible to turn a Mariah Carey song into rock. I was covered in goose bumps



David A, you have talent....but not like this.
Saesha, you're screaming gives me a headache.
Carly, you looked beautiful tonite and I'm sorry you weren't given props. BTW, you nailed it
Kristy Lee, you definitely stepped up..possibly too late for you my dear.
Brooke, you remind me so much of Sheryl Crow---loved it
Jason Castro---I was so blown away with David Cook I thought he was the last singer BB9 started and I don't think there's anyway you could pull it off--sorry dude

No doubt we're watching some pretty good talent, but I'm guessing its time to say goodbye to Jason Castro or Saesha. It's just time.

Who's your favorite and why?

Pizza Hut changed their name--WTH?

Upon checking my buckeye email this morning (to see if the golf coach sent email), I came across this "Pizza Hut is now Pasta Hut!" WOW, so I open it and this is what it says:

PASTA SO GOOD WE CHANGED OUR NAME! www.newpastahut.com

Our new Tuscani Pastas are so good, we decided to change our name to Pasta Hut. Try both delicious flavors, Meaty Marinara or Creamy Chicken Alfredo.
Finally, restaurant quality pasta delivered right to your door! Feeds 4 and comes with 5 breadsticks for only $11.99. Dinner's done!

I'm not a fan of Pizza Hut, but my family sure is. Do they think their pasta is THAT GOOD? When I think of "Pasta" restaurants in this area, I think of "Olive Garden"--yummy.

Here in Bedford we have sooooo many pizza places to choose from you'd think instead of being "Mule Country", we'd be "Pizza Palace".

What do you think?

Excuse me for being so absent with blogging. Life has been pretty busy here in the Engfer household.

I have news......

Austin made the Freshman Golf team!
So exciting for him. He is the 4th generation of excellent golfers within the "Pruden" family. His Grandfathers and Uncle would be so proud of him. His Uncle John (my brother) was the Captain of BHS Golf Team in 1988. His Uncle died before Austin was born, however the legacy contines.



Congrats Austin!!!

Think Spring--and alllllll that comes with it

Spring is here!!! I couldn't be happier, so I thought.....

The kids are on Spring Break this week (1st time ever the week BEFORE Easter-YUCK), my son had a friend spend the night last night and they wanted to go to Blockbuster to get a movie.

I had to remind my son that the "black box" at the end of our driveway needed to be put away before I would go to the video store. Through my rearview mirror I see him bent over picking up what I assume is garbage, I think to myself "wow I didn't have to TELL him to do that!"--bonus.


Boy was I wrong! As he walks closer to my vehicle, I see him fling his arm out. I thought "what is he doing?" To my surprise, my lovely little boy (who's 5'10") flung WORMS on my windshield!! Yes folks, worms. I cannot tell you enough how much I HATE worms! I scream as the disgusting little things meander across my windshield.


I'm most likely going to have nightmares about them now that I've thought about them. EWWWW

WEN SEMI on 13ABC

In January, my trucker buddy Angie Weid and I kicked off the SE Michigan chapter of the Women's Entrepreneurial Network (WEN). WEN SEMI has been so much fun for both of us.

This month's meeting we were very excited to have Rebecca Regnier from 13 ABC-WTVG, be our guest speaker. She shared some secrets to marketing your business in the media. GREAT information! Thank you Rebecca.

Here's a couple clips that aired Tues at 5:30 p.m. and Wed at 5:30 a.m.:


Angie and I both feel our businesses wouldn't be where they are today without WEN. Thank you to Linda Everhardt-Kardux, Linda Fayerweather and Linda Bowyer. YOU GO GIRL!

Struggling with scheduleling



Like most sales people, I have a calendar. I schedule appointments to get to know people that I'm in different networking groups with and how I can help them, we call them "one to ones". I have 2 scheduled for tomorrow. Here's my dilema:
I'm awaiting closing documents for a pretty big deal I'm working on, they were scheduled to arrive at 3:0o today. I'm still waiting. This creates an issue for me because I was meeting with my client at 5:00 to sign said documents. Obviously this isn't happening today. My client is very understanding and appreciative that I've offered to meet with her at her office at 2:30 and him at his office at 3:00 tomorrow. I will do what is most convenient for my customer, its the beautiful thing about my job. I come to them.

Now I need to notify the 2 individuals I have scheduled one to ones with. I've sent them both an email apologizing and suggesting another time next week, but I get irritated because I think I have my week planned out and then WHALA a monkey throws a wrench in and everything is all discombobulated (that is a word).

Have you been in this situation and what have you done to adjust?
