I’ve created a new location for the information to update you on
what’s new etc. in my businesses.  Please check out:  Mon’s Business
Briefings for information.

 

=============== update this page will be loaded on the new site soon

In case you were curious

I loaded the photo of the dent the Basketball hoop put into my van.
Here she is:

We went to my brother’s house yesterday to Celebrate Xmas with them.
We had a great time, the pics are up on FLICKR as per usual.

Now here’s the thing, I went to update my inventory in my software
and my software crashed.  Do I have a backup you say?  Yes,
but it’s still not workin’.

OH FER CRYIN’ OUT LOUD

can I get
no breaks? 

LOL

So, gonna reload it all… is it
Quickbooks you ask?  Nope.  Nadda… uhhu.

It’s a
proprietary software.  ::sigh::

Data Entry Time!

ARGH! 

So it’s the end of the year and I’ve made SURE
that I’ve told my clients that have inventory to be SURE they have
counted it, yadda yadda yadda like the good Accountant I
am.

Except.

I DIDN’T COUNT MY INVENTORY!!

Oh
fer cryin’ out loud!  What was I thinkin’ it was gonna count
itself?!  This isn’t a small feat – I have ALOT of inventory.  Well,
not as much as last year since I do sell – but there is definately
inventory.

I should have thought of having a sale in December. 
Next year – that’s what I’ll do.  I’ll have a:

PLEASE DON’T
MAKE ME COUNT THIS sale.  Whatcha think?!  30% off
everything!  Better remember that for next year.  LOL  Naw, I
couldn’t discount it.  That would be rediculas!  But maybe having
my open house for the holidays like I did a few years ago would be the
best thing to do.

In case you are wondering what the heck I’m
talking about, I am an Independent Mary Kay Consultant.  We are
distributors, and can either carry inventory or not.  I choose the
carry inventory for a reason.  I mean WHO wants to wait for what they
purchase?  Not me, thus – inventory on hand in case someone is all
out of mascara.  Who’d wait for mascara?!  Not
me.

::sigh::

I know, complain complain.  What a whiner. 

To be real honest, I look at my stock and look at my customer’s
history and I get all excited inside.  I love my business.  I love
girl time.  Yes, I know – laugh.  But women getting together
to play?  Very nice.  I miss it. 

I haven’t been
actively selling in well… a long time.  So I don’t have new
customer’s really.  Only those I’ve had for years.  Oh, I do get
calls from folks doing searches in their area and I come up.  So I
get new folks that way and word of mouth.  But I should be
actively selling.  Afterall, it’s a ton of fun.

What’s really
funny is when I actually sell I don’t realize it.  What I mean is I
have a blast and then I get money.  It’s weird coming home from a
get together with money.  I mean what kinda world do we live in
anyway.  I get money for something I love.

So why don’t I do it
more? 

Million dollar question right there.  I think I
will.  Humph.  I’ll go play.  Try to stop
me.

LOL  Some girly time is just what I need.

If you are interested
in what I’m talking about, you can certainly visit my Mary Kay site.  I have one so folks can purchase through
there easily. 

Anyway, off to count my pink boxes and
such.  Wanna help?!  hee hee

Love and
light,

Mon

Bertha is the name of my 2003 Dodge Grand Caravan.  Why did I
name her?  Well, I name all of my vehicles.  Why? 
Because I can.  And I do.  The Mustang if you haven’t been reading
is named Ellie.  So, I’m odd but I’m steadilly odd.

So, it
was very windy Tuesday and it seems that we didn’t take the basketball
hoop to the back of the house.  It was in the back of the house
mind you until Christmas day when everyone wanted to have a good
basketball game in the front.  We are on a court, so it’s easy peasy to
just drag that thing out and have a great game! 

 

Well, we didn’t drag it back
to the back yard that night.  As evident in the
morning…

Apparently it was blown over – into the side of my van.  Oy
Vey!  Not to mention, the scratch of doom it put on Daniel’s S2k. 
ARGH!  I couldn’t even open the driver’s side door as it dented so
close to the door.

 

Well, pooh! 

Windy Windy Windy and quite expensive.

Anyone know of a good body
shop in the area over here?!  

… sheesh …

My smoking issue is one
of up and down and a whole lot of turbulance. I don’t want it taking
over my blog. Which it has for a little over a month now. I’ll post from

Now back to the funny life I (we) lead.
