A Woman’s Business

My mother used to say that the womens’ money is the easiest to make besides kid’s money. I know she is right because when do we ever get stingy on buying stuff for our kids right..?? likewise, women of all ages, would go to great extend to keep themselves looking vibrant and feeling awesome. You do too right..?? Well, I speak for myself and I’ve always wanted to learn the trade of becoming an esthetician.. had i not gone into the hotel industry.

Unfortunately, back home we don’t have many choices for beauty schools like in United States and if you are looking for beauty schools in kansas, I know a site that have all the information that you ever need and more to find one that is correct and meets your needs. Do all your comparison with the shortlisted schools without having to waste them on individual site because they do all the leg work for you. Pretty awesome..! so if you know of someone who is looking to join the beauty industry, you know where to redirect them – Findbeautyschool.com – good things must be shared eh.

Storm

A storm is heading towards the Maritime.. and i know that many parts of Canada.. is already experiencing it as I type. I wished that everyone stay safe .. and even though we are open today for business, we still headed out to stock up .. in case we get snow in. Water, can food.. and portable heat run by propane, plus lots of candles.. to last us for 24hrs. When you are living in Canada, you learn to be prepared for the worst.. and hope for the best. We’ve always been lucky.. but you can’t be lucky all the time right..??

So Distracted

This week .. i was so distracted.. by what i saw at Chloe’s school.. that when i left the school grounds.. i went into someone else’s car. Muahahahhaha!!! yup..!! have you done that before..?? the car right at the back of our red Ford Focus.. was red too.. but i wasn’t even thinking.. and walked right up to the car.. and wanted to go into the car. Luckily, PB asked me.. “what are you doing..??” from his side of the car.. and then i realized what happened… muahahhaha!!! too funny..!! I bet the guy in the guy must be thinking.. “wats the crazy chinese woman doing..?? ” Quite the embarrassing.. even more embarrassing then thinking my diet pill was vitamins. But that is another story for another day.

Darn Busy This Christmas

Photobucket

Sorry, I haven’t updated for a few days, it had been crazy busy here. With Chloe in school now, she is like a social butterfly, invited for birthday parties.. after birthday parties. On top of it, I am actively raising fund for her school playground & library and supporting her school Home & School Fundraising .. with selling tickets for the Wii. So far we have sold 60 books, 3 tickets a book, so you see how busy we have been.

On the business front, it had been crazy here, everyone looking for presents for Christmas.. we never got a breather the whole week, our store is packed. And of course, there is this thing going on with the lobster fishermen in town that we are encouraged to have lobsters instead of turkey this Christmas. Yes at $3/pound.. you can’t really blame the fishermen and the owners to be upset but having said that.. the fishermen are always whiny regardless.

Presents are arriving for Chloe from all over the world and I haven’t got a chance to sort it out yet and take pictures of. The latest is from Anna in the USA .. thank you for the bento set, I haven’t had a chance to take a picture of it since we are open even on Sundays – The boss is a slave driver – i tell everyone .. hahahahha!!! I’ve resorted to using Etsy or any online store to send presents, from the Body Shop to David’s cookies etc. So if i missed out.. please don’t hate me. On the other hand, i put PB on task to keep his promise to Vien .. from a year ago, i berated him Vien, so I will have a post up .. to show you .. he even packed it up already today.. hhahahahahahah1!! be surprised Vien..!!! We never forget, just so busy .. running a business and having a kid in school. And I cannot thank my sponsors and advertising company enough for the many jobs they give me. My sincerest thanks..!! You know who you are.. 🙂

PS : I am also busy campaigning to get “The Y’arc” to move to downtown Yarmouth, to save the downtown businesses and homeowner and their interest. My submission for a move for the town council to consider their locality needs to be in by 18th, so you see I am busy.

We go to work for abit.. if she is up to it.. and then she comes home with me to rest.

Nothing is more important than to take care of my baby. What about you..??
