I've almost gotten back to my routine with a few residual physical issues but overall I'm back to everyday life the way I like it.
In this post I'm going to share with you why January has been a good month for my wife, a special day spent with my granddaughter, and the "Latest In Lego" for me.
It's been a while since I've updated you on how Paula's "side gig" with Color Street is going.
January has been a very busy but successful one for her. She has had 5 members of her online group host parties aka nail bars.
In the middle of the month she hosted a live online event where her group got to play "BINGO". I helped out by calling the numbers, something I've always enjoyed doing since I was a kid.
On the 28th, she went to a charity event in Scottsville. It was the first time she'd set up at a vendor event without my help. She had a long day (8AM to 6PM) but also a great time and lots of sales.
During the month one of Paula's group members also became a stylist. Paula then took on the responsibility of mentoring this new team member in effort to help her get off to a great start.
In addition, about the same time, Paula's Color Street mentor, added another stylist to "Team Paula".
On the morning of Friday, the 31st, Paula looked at her Color Street stats online and discovered that both of her team members had reached their initial levels of success. This qualified Paula to advance to the title of Senior Stylist.
This means Paula has gone from being a stylist with an introductory kit to a Senior Stylist in just 9 months.
The "cherry on the sundae" of this very successful January came the night of the 31st. During Paula's online sale the members of her group purchased over 25 sets.
As a "thank you" they got to choose a nail swag gift with each set they bought. Paula also gave away four free sets to randomly chosen winners.
I am so proud of my wife and all the hard work she does everyday. I will continue to keep you updated as she strives to reach the top of her potential with Color Street.

Almost a month after they became available, I finally was able to buy some of the new DC Comics Lego mini-figure blind bags.
I was a little off my game when opening them, at first. But in the end it took opening only 19 of them to find a complete set.
Around noon both of my grandkids came to visit me. I spent a couple of hours with them. It was the first I'd ever had them by myself. We had lots of fun.
Then later in the day, I took my granddaughter to our local library for a special Lego event.
Members of the Nashville branch of the Tennessee Valley Lego Club were there with some really awesome Lego displays.
There were a lot of kids around them having fun building whatever they could think of.
Aria was drawn to the table that was covered in blue bricks. The kids were elbow to elbow, so I made my way to a chair in the corner of the room to let her spontaneously build.
A couple of them were on the arm of a Lego statue assembled locally by the civil engineering program at Western Kentucky University.
He's the college mascot known as "Big Red". It took 500 man hours and more than 30,000 bricks to build. It is rather impressive.
Aria and I had our picture taken with the big guy just before we went out for ice cream.
Aria was so enthralled with the large Lego models. Based on her excitement, I am convinced that I have to take her to one of the bigger Lego shows, one day. I'm sure she will love it.
So there you have a couple of updates on what's been going on in my world lately.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. I'll be back again soon with more from this Yankee Near Nashville.
