I'm Going to Look Fabulous -;)
I'm glad that I spent the time getting my plants and table off of the deck last night because they had power-washed it by the time that I got up this morning. It's amazing what power-washing can do, but actually, I liked it better dirty. They also put some sealant on it later today. I wish I knew when they're going to stain it. Harlee was in the office, and I planned to keep her there tonight in case they stained the deck tomorrow morning, but she bolted out when I entered the office. Oh well, I hope that I wake up if they come in (although if they came in this morning, I didn't wake up).
I received my Independent Younique Presenter's Starter Kit and also the clothes that I ordered. I came home completely exhausted (in fact, I fell asleep for 45 minutes tonight at work, so I brought my laptop home), but that gave me a little boost of energy. I set up a "virtual party" on my Independent Younique Presenter web site. I ordered a mineral foundation for myself, some catalogs, and a bunch of mascara. My plan is to offer a mascara to salon owners in exchange for allowing me to leave a catalog and a bunch of business cards at their salon (and I hope that the salon owners will become evangelists for the mascara). I set up business cards on VistaPrint, but VistaPrint ate the order. I wanted to order address labels as well, so I'll order them both tomorrow.
I'm also excited about the clothes. I splurged and bought a champaign-colored dress with a jacket with beaded edges (for $30 off). I wished that I could wear it to the opera, but the opera in Chicago is outrageously expensive. So I looked at the one in Saint Louis (I'm roughly halfway between the two cities), and they're playing The Marriage of Figaro, which I've always wanted to see, on the week before my birthday in November. Tickets for the "cheap seats" cost only $35. So I thought, okay, that (well, plus the dress) will be my birthday present to myself. But then I saw a sign advertising the Cirque du Soleil, which I've always wanted to see and will be in Bloomington the week of my birthday. Decision, decisions....
Harlee keeps coming in and meowing at me, so I think that I'm being summoned. Plus I really need to go to sleep.
