Business update

Ok! so only about 500 people have given me the same advice in terms of what to do about getting my business off the ground. I keep thinking that the first thing for me to do is to get some money (about 5K) and make all the cards at first and them they will just automatically or magically be sold, but I reckon I am thinking about this all wrong.

This week I have to finish two cards (one of them for my nephew's birthday) and then I will create a catalog with order forms and we are gonna have to hit the town and shake hands and kiss babies. It is time. this is the summer. I do not want to let yet another year go by of me just dreamin', and hopin', and wishin', and thinkin' - it is time to get the party started.

see you at store shelves. :)

Memorial Day Weekend

This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend, and boy was I glad Kimani had the day off. We had family time!! We rented a couple of movies yesterday (Happy N'ever After and Music and Lyrics) and we were just happy to be with each other. I was thinking about how glad I felt that Kimani was gonna be with is and it dawned on me that after five years of marriage, it is a good thing that I still look forward to being with him. I was really elated! Nehemiah was attached to him the whole time. He showed just how much he missed his daddy.

I was excited also about the sun being out and getting a tan. I slathered on my dark tanning lotion and went out to the park with Nemi and Kimani. I want to get a tan this summer.

Well, I look forward to the rest of the summer. The good thing is that it did not rain this weekend and I hope it is a 'forecast' as to what the summer will be like.

talk to you guys later.

Another day, another week

Hello! How is everyone doing this week? Hope you are all ready for Memorial Day. We have no plans whatsoever. We are just looking forward to having a family weekend with nothing on the agenda. That feels food. Knowing that there is no running around to do or any place to go. Though we risk staying home all weekend cooped up and bored. But I do not think so the weather is looking nice and I am sure we can find a park somewhere to just hang out and soak up the son.

All right, let's make this Memorial Day Weekend memorable.

Enjoy yourselves.

Lots of love,

Mary Kay

In addition, I became a MaryKay consultant just this week and I am excited to get a stream of income so help subsidize the expenses for my passion Xpressions of Love. I really want to get the business off the ground, but I do not want to get another loan and be in more debt, so hopefully MK will bring in some money to pay for all of the thing related to XoL. We will see how this goes.

Mother's Day 2007

As for my mothers day, it was the best. Kimani gave me a marvelous gift. He gave me a shopping spree at the Woodbury commons. I came home with three pairs of shoes, a dress, earrings and necklaces, and 5 outfits, from skirts to jeans and everything in between. Thank you hunny. It was the best gift ever. I had such a great time. He topped off the evening by taking me to Applebees where I was able to have my fav sandwich and the apple chimicheesecake (yum yum). That really was sweet that he would come along and allow me to walk around and pick out things and put them back and pick out other things and then wait for me to try it on and let me know how he liked it on me or not liked it on me. All the while he was in full charge of Nehemiah, so I did not have to fuss with him at all. I could just fully focus on getting the task done - a new wardrobe. It really was the best gift ever - doing it together.

Nehemiah

I am so excited to share with you that Nehemiah will be attending the summer program in his school starting next month. I was really hoping he would be accepted and he was. He has been improving significantly since he began school in January and his teachers and I both agree that we want to keep the momentum going and hopefully he will blossom even more when there are less kids.

Unexpected things

Well, it is really an eye opener to see how much we are dependent and consumed by computers now-a-days. My home computer crashed and I had no access to the Internet for about a week and a half and let me tell you.... that was one hard week and a half. I was really beginning to go crazy, yet,, it was such a productive week and a half. I worked on several pending projects I have here and they were completed. Finally.

Ok so I have created different postings regarding what has been going on this week so check those out.

Fall in love all over again with these wonderful songs.

I love you Kimani. You prove to me everyday that I made the best choice ever to marry you.

Well, kids will be kids

Oh! Our little Nemi. Since he was born, I keep telling myself that he is a boy and he will have his share of booboos and scars. But let me tell you, it is one thing to think that and another thing when it happens. Little Nemi was playing with some boys and he fell, somehow he did not put his hands out to break his fall and he fell on his face, chipping two of his teeth. Awwwww! poor kid. Thank God they are the baby teeth and one day they will fall out, but just to imagine how much that hurt was pretty hard.
