My dog STINKS. She smells like sweaty dog or something. Guess who's getting a bath today? She's gonna be MAD.

Could you please wash our dog too?

I washed his bed yesterday. It's not his bed that smells bad however.

I HATE giving her a bath. She just stands there....glaring at me. And she's a pug, so she gets a LOT of hair in the tub I then have to clean out.

He does the same thing except he's 65lbs. I thought since he's white and short haired he'd shed less. Boy was I wrong. Little white hairs stuck on everything.

Tell me about it. Did I mention I have a chocolate colored couch? Even though she's not allowed on it, hair still gets there. I vacuum that thing all of the time.

OT- the other day, a friend of mine emailed me and asked me if I was willing to do a couponing class. She wanted to do one a week for 10 weeks (different people every week) and we would do it in her home. She also mentioned me talking to her homeschooling group.

Today, out of the blue, I get an email from someone else who follows my blog and stuff here in town, wanting me to do a couponing class. She said they would do the scheduling and marketing for it.

What the heck is going on?

Sounds like you're doing a couponing class.

Sounds fishy to me. Like they want to profit off your knowledge. I'd ask a lot more questions. Especially about how much people would be paying to attend.

She asked me how much I wanted! Lots of people who have blogs, etc do couponing classes, but I never have. A woman came from Nashville up here to speak at one of the churches...one of the REALLY BIG churches...it sold out.

Here's what I would be suspect of: let's say she can get 10 people in her house at a time. And I'd say people would probably pay at least $25. If she offers you $100 you might think that's a lot for 2 or 3 hours of your time. But let"s consider 10 X $25= $250. If you only get $100 she's left with $150. Multiply that by ten weeks and she'd have $1500 on your knowledge while you'd have $1000.

All of that may be true, but she (not Jenni) would be using her house, serving snacks (I assume), having to clean it after-the-fact, gather the 10 people each week (advertising), etc.

So even though it seems like she's getting $1500 for nothing, she's doing a significant amount of work. Given if in this imaginary situation, jenni got 1500-2000 and the organizer got 500-1000, that would be fair IMO.

The friend that's doing it will get 1/2 because she is providing food. She didn't ask. I offered. I was only charging $10/person.

The other I think will be a one time in a larger venue. She told me I could pick my price. I don't think they are charging anything over that price.

She just emailed me with a Feb 5th date.
