well, it's something!

Rett started this week at a "job." Why the quotes, you may ask? Because it's a phone sales job and 100% commission based.

It's for a company that sells ad space on the back of a local grocery store's receipts. Businesses can pay X amount and get an ad that would be on everyone's receipt that shops at this grocery store. Rett calls to sell them on the idea and set up a meeting, then a 'closer' goes in to talk prices and finish the deal. If a deal is closed, Rett gets 15% of the selling price of the ad. Great potential, no reliability. Not necessarily a good thing for those of us living paycheck to paycheck. He's scheduled about 5 meetings, so hopefully we'll get good news and $$$$ soon!

On the homefront, I think the dogs are starting to feel extra lonely since we've been gone so much. Tobey is now a non-stop cuddler and Bella is constantly kissing us. It's not a bad thing, I just feel bad that they've been feeling the effects of us working 2 jobs each.


We have a small vacation planned for Aug 3-5, and I can't wait! We're going to Hocking Hills in Southern Ohio and staying in a private cabin with a hot tub! It will be so nice to just relax and spend time together.
