its always better when were together

Yesterday was a bit hectic with our meeting and all. I woke up fairly early, took a shower, got dressed and then went to Staples with Rocco to photocopy flyers for our business meeting yesterday evening. We then went to Famous Footwear so Rocco could get shoes and then to Panera bread for lunch before hopping on the train.
I hate the train. I also hate driving into the city, which is why I cannot wait to be only a subway train away. We met all the business partners in Bryant park, then met with our prospective model, she looked over the paperwork and decided to take it home to her parents to read it all. She later informed me that she wanted to sign with us. After the meeting we did some scouting for prospective models and discussed which route we were going to take first. Did we want the girls to go on promotion jobs first or start with items we can sell online? We decided to start with the 12 month calendar so that we can sell it online and bring it with us to the jobs to sell more when the girls are actually out at work, we also felt this would be something good to bring to prospective clients to show who our models are.
After the meeting and hanging around Bryant park for a while, we hopped on the train back to Long Island so we could do some more work on licensing. After all the research, we found out we DO NOT need a license if we are based on Long Island but if we decide to base it in Manhattan we do. For all the partnership, and incorporation licenses it will come to about $300 split between all of us and we will have all the licenses within 24 hours. This was actually good news. We may need to require an extra license if we decide to hire people not as independent contractors (which is what we hire the models as now), but long term if we decide we want one specific photographer and one specific hair and makeup artist we would need to acquire an extra license for having them on payroll.
I am excited to start getting this business rolling. I love the fact that we can all work together and not fight and everyone does there part.
Rocco started work at Trader Joe's so he is not around during the day as much anymore. I miss him and I am trying to keep myself occcupied. It's good for him though because he will have money and that means less time before we move out.
I am highly jealous of all the people that get along with their parents. I get along with everyone elses parents and families, except my own. I adore Rocco's family, I wish they were mine.
This morning my Mom screamed at me because I drove into the city back in June and went through an E-Z pass lane. I really couldnt help it because there were people on either side of me and I could not switch lanes. There was also construction so the cash lane was closed until right before the toll and by the time we got up that close I couldnt merge back into it. Anyway, I got a fine for going through it. I realize it was a stupid mistake but afterall, it was a mistake. She proceeded to inform me of how stupid I was, I am a stupid girl with no common sense. I drive into the city all the time, and that happened once in all the times I have driven in, I dunno it's not like I make a habit out of it. Oh well. I am tired of justifying my mother's words and actions. I just take them as they come, like swift blows to the head.
