Dreams through Groupon in just 4 days

Friday, 2010-January-22 by

Wow. What a week it has been! And it’s just Thursday.

  1. Tuesday was our (mine and Beth’s) little Taste of Dream Dinners party. As You Wish provided updated headshots/avatars to those in attendance. Another friend, Victoria sold her necklaces. It was small, but valuable for each of us involved. I have been too slow at getting those images processed.
  2. Wednesday, I was “it” at my monthly Brainstormers group. I presented a problem: how to market to school-age kids, Tweens, and teens and their parents. Through a process that adheres to the rules of Brainstorming, I was literally bouncing up and down at all the fabulous ideas. I can’t wait to implement some of them. I was also happy to see that my brainstorming topic was one that could apply to a lot of the members of the group.
  3. Thursday morning I had an interview for a great job—-I’ve kept my job search a bit on the down-low, I’ve had enough bad bosses/jobs thankyouverymuch —-as an Education Coordinator…but as it turns out, it has a 75% travel time. I could easily be gone Monday-Friday for three weeks of every month. If I get an offer from them, we will have to consider it very carefully.
  4. Thursday all day, As You Wish was the Groupon.com deal of the day for Austin. As of this writing, I have 90 portrait sessions from new clients for the Austin area! And, my business name has been in front of 44,000+ Austin members today. In addition, I also got a new Senior Ambassador, and I sold a Womb-to-Bloom portrait series that includes a maternity session, newborn session, 3-6-9 month sessions, and a first birthday session complete with balloons and CAKE! (Maybe #3 isn’t so important, after all…?). Whew! Late in the day, I learned that a potential bride and a close friend were on the list of those who purchased Groupons. Thank you, both. You “warm the cockles of my cockles”. Ack! I just checked again and it’s up to 95!!

There have been several other happy moments this week: I was selected to serve on two committees for the Nuptial Essentials Association of Wedding Professionals; I’m going to be working with great folks on both of those! And, my new friend, Hilarie, gave me some excellent feedback on a challenging aspect of my website, which I took to heart and applied fully. Just a few days later, I was able to return the favor to her in the form of reviewing her “audition” piece for a graphic design job. She was pleased with the feedback and genuinely considered my thoughts. She and I are on to something, here… There were others, too. It’s been a week of amazing moments.

When will my world stop spinning? I can only handle this adrenaline rush for a little while longer. At the same time, it sure is a spinning a web of happiness; a web that I know will catch me when I fall.

“If my friends could see me, now!” Oh wait; you can! You just did!

Oh, and BTW, adrenaline and/or sheer excitement is an easy fix for a caffeine dependency. I’ve barely had any today and have hardly noticed. How do I get THAT side effect more often

Happy Weekend, everyone!

Do’ort’y the Lawsuit, Poopy CapeHard, Kevin Jack-off-some, REEX, and Urinal Guava
“warms the cockles of my cockles” I’ve been looking for that reference for years. If you can give me the original reference for this quote, I’ll give you a free portrait session of your choosing (for those nearby) and/or a free design for Valentine’s or other holiday cards (for those far-far away).

Your Mom sends Texts

Tuesday, 2010-January-12 by

Here is a texting conversation between me, and let’s say, someone named Charlie:

Jan 12 8:07am CHARLIE: Eww my finger stinks. What should I do?

    Jan 12 8:08am ME: Ask someone else to smell it.

Jan 12 8:09am CHARLIE: Is that a paid service?

    Jan 12 8:10am ME: Kinda. They will either smell it or pull it. They will not wash it though.

Jan 12 8:12am CHARLIE: Hmmm well maybe i should ask your mom then?

    Jan 12 8:14am ME: Sure…oh wait, your mom just rolled over in bed and said she would take care of it. Once she is through with her business though.

Jan 12 8:16am CHARLIE: What are you doing still in bed?

    Jan 12 8:16am ME: That is kind of personal. You should ask your mom.
    Jan 12 8:18am ME: Are you off today or just waisting tax payers maoney?

Jan 12 8:24am CHARLIE: I’m pulling into work, which if you are going to be my new daddy, you should be doing too and not lounging around in bed!

    Jan 12 8:26am ME: I have been at work since you started all this. I expect a super father’s day gift this year….

Jan 12 8:26am CHARLIE: Ass
Jan 12 8:28am CHARLIE: So ill see you at rosa’s around 11:45?

    Jan 12 8:29am ME: So, you started with smelly finger and end with ass. I think you have answered your own question. Yeah, we will be at Rosa, but closer to noon.

So, there ends another successful word exchange using modern technology.
