Finally, a finished product.



I've been in this class for over a month and this is the only painting I've finish, maybe. #1 and 2 still aren't done, but now I'm working on #4 so I don't know if I'll ever finish. This one was the fun one. We had to pick out an artist and copy their style. This painting was done with just a palet knife, no brushes.

I gotta run. I just got a call from my friend saying that everyone is asking her where the new Mary Kay Satin Hands stuff is at shapes and that I need to get down there quick cuz she don't have any. I guess squirting my potions and lotions really paid off.

Terror of the Fleas

Hey everyone. It might be just me, but I think this is the most hilarious picture of my cat ever. I was laying on my bed and looked down at her and saw her all curled up in her bag peer at me through the hole. I had to laugh out loud because it just struck me as so cute.

Moving on...So this week I worked and yesterday I got my first paycheck from working with my director! I was pretty excited. But I had to hand it over to mom because i'm still in debt to her =/ Working for her was great. It's just been alot of fun and laid back. I cleaned her house on Wednesday and it was fun cuz I had the house all to my self. The husband has been telling me about how bad the fleas are in their yard since their dog died last week. I didn't really believe him about how bad he described it until yesterday. I just walked to their door and they called me over to the other door. I went inside and waited for Grace to get off the phone. After a few minutes I looked down and I was covered...COVERED in fleas!! They were crawling all over my jeans and working up to my shirt. It was terrible. I had a minor panic attack, went outside and started brushing them off. But when I brushed them off more would jump on. Well I got most of them off after a while, went back inside and spent the next 2 hours picking them off one by one. Then I kept feeling them all over after that. Ugh. It was really bad folks. I mean you go outside and suddenly you have a black leg. It was really that awful. They were sorta embarassed and felt really bad. After all, they were just jumping on me for some reason. Her husband went out there to spray them down so it was safe to go to my car after work. So thats my story.
Other then that I went to shapes total fitness with my friend (we do this about every 2 weeks)and sell MK. I was finally brave enough to go to the locker room and get the ladies some satin hands treatment by the sinks. At first they were like, oh my why is this girl bugging me, but after they did the treatment they were like, wow! how much is this stuff?? It's amazing. Then suddenly I wouldn't feel so weird about squirting potions and lotions at this total stranger.

Oh right... I have a blog.

Ok...I don't know why I'm never blogging anymore. Now that I have more time on my hands I don't seem to want to anymore. I guess when I was in school I wanted an excuse to take a break from studying so I would write in my blog, which is still productive in a way. So anywho...this morning I worked for my mary kay director Grace. This is the 2nd time I worked for her. I've just been training for the most part. Learning where she keeps all her inventory (lots of creams, miracle sets, and makeup!) Shes been doing this for 7 years now and owns 2 pink caddys and is about to receive her new 2007 one pretty soon. I do filing for her and computer work. It's been fairly easy and enjoyable. I might be doing some house cleaning and even cooking for her in the future. It's interesting because she was a very shy person back in the day. She went to school for elementary education and taught for one year and that was enough for her. So she was a stay at home mom and then got into the Mary Kay buisness and blossomed into this social butterfly and was very successful making 100 grand a year. So I think she sees alot of herself in me and wants to see me succeed like she did. So hey, I'm not complaining! Oh, and to make something clear, I have sold over 1,000 in products but I haven't really earned anything for myself yet. I'm still in debt to my mom because she bought me my first order and we had to order enought to receive free products. So I'm not rich people! I'm in debt. But I'm quickly repaying it back. Phew! Now people can stop calling me for money =p .
So have you heard that we have a hurricane coming?? Well it's just a warning right now, but only 4 more mph winds and it's a hurricane...and one thats passing right over us. It's so early! How did this just sneak up on me like that? I didn't know about anything until yesterday. Why didn't we move to Dublin when we had the chance?? Sigh.
Signing out.

Ok, its been eeeeons since i've written. So, the wedding was awesome and I felt so honored to be a part of it. It was so nice to see everyone again and to have them all hangin out in my hood, especially when we went bowling. After driving Marie to the airport at 5am I pretty much crashed... in my bed that is. I got a fever monday and tuesday it was still hanging on, but I felt alot better. Ok...I'm not feeling very creative so maybe i'll write the tails of a bride's maid later. But all is well. Painting class has been fun and Mary Kay is going very well so far. I have reach to selling 1,000 dollars in products. Yay! Maybe i'll quit college and make this my offical career, hows that sound?? hahaha. Ok, until next time.
