And that's no joke either. Losing an hour of your precious sleep is torture. All to save oil in lanterns. Damn the man.
I am the worst person with this Live Journal thing. It's been, what, months since my last post? What the hell have I been doing?
Well, let's think here...... (hard to do on loss of sleep)
I started a new business. Called Juicy Gifts by Melissa Lee. Specializing in custom Themed Gift Baskets and Gifts for all occasions.
I got my first order for a Japanese Bridal Shower Cake. It came out beautifully. Each tier is made up of bath towels, hand towels, and wash cloths. Each layer banded with a wide strip of blood red ribbon. I stacked them and on top I put a bottle of sake for the bride. The cake is adorned with bath and body products called "Miso Pretty" by BlueQ, chopsticks, paper origami cranes, and a mini Sushi Kit. It's all nestled in fine moss atop a glass cake stand. It was a lot of work, but it's beautiful.
Next, I started to inquire about my website. I bought my domain name which is juicygiftsbymel.com. I have Christina from justtwogirls.com making my website for free. You have to see her stuff, way cute and girly. If you're into that kind of stuff.
I worked on making my first sales ad for my company. Professional Administratives Day (Secretaries Day)is the last week in April. I made an order with Russ, and ordered my first product of mugs with a dress and shoe shaped notepads with a matching pen. Very cute, great for the Admin.
After I posted the ad, I got two calls for two more orders for custom work. I'll be doing 75 wedding favors and a Baptism Gift Basket for boy and girl twins. I'm starting to pick up business. I hope this turns into a success.
I will also be baby sitting my girlfriends kids during the week for extra money. A 5 month old and a 2 year old, not counting my own 3 year old. It's going to be kid city at my house in May. I hope I can cope. The money would help my business.
I hate Boobah! The PBS kids show that comes on a 9:30 am. They are creepy looking penis heads with jewels and eyeballs poking out of foreskin. You have to see it to understand. And whenever they move, they fart as they go along. How sick is that? They are in rainbow colors too. A gay man's fantasy.
Ok, that was off subject. My son was just watching it. Had to bitch about it.
I guess looking back I have been pretty busy myself. Lots on my plate.
More later, but hopefully not months later.
