Today’s been a little “all over the place”. I woke up at 9:30am (trust me, that’s early folks), and by 10:30 I was out of the house. I went around to a local Indian restaurant and spoke to the owner (whom I’d spoken to briefly last night at dinner) about getting a website up for them. He seems pretty keen, but they’re going on a week’s holiday soon and are currently out of money, so he’s going to contact me when they get back about kicking it all off.
I also went to a little nerdy shop (sells American candies, soft drink, trading cards, etc.) and offered them a website as well. The owner’s wife said he was going to be doing the website, but if he doesn’t have the time or the energy to do it while also running the business, they would be happy to support me as a local business getting off my feet, so that was really lovely.
The rest of the day has been cleaning up the yard for someone’s 21st birthday party next Saturday (I’m not sure who, do you?) and just generally getting things tidy. I haven’t helped much simply because … I can’t. I’ll help Mum paint the new laundry wall when she gets home. Speaking of the party, things are coming together – I have my auntie making my cake, my dad’s cousin doing the DJing, and friends coming from Melbourne, which will be great. The one thing I’m most looking forward to is seeing my sister and her boyfriend – I love them both so much and have missed them heaps, since the last time I saw them was November.
I need to get an outfit situated!!! I might have to go shopping on the Friday before (since that’s Pay Day) and get Michael to buy me a nice top or something. I have nice jeans, but I want a pretty top to go with them. I was thinking a dress, but I don’t normally wear dresses so I thought it best to just wear what I would normally wear. Michael has also, after many problems and emailing back and forth with the seller, bought me a phone off eBay. We originally bought and paid for a pink LG KF600, but the seller was out of stock (don’t ask why they had an option up to buy it if they didn’t have it in stock – I have no idea), but I settled on a pink LG KS360 (more photos, the last two are the colour I’m getting), which is very different, but just as nice. And since I usually text rather than call anyway, it’s probably more ideal for me. But I really needed a new phone since I’m starting up this busniess – my Motorola Razr V3 just doesn’t cut it any more.
Anyway, I think that’s enough rambling from me today, otherwise I’ll have nothing to write tomorrow!
I was tagged a couple of times on Facebook for this, so I thought I’d make it today’s blog post.
1. I have naturally curly hair, and if I had to write a list of the top 5 things people ask me, that would be #1 or #2.
2. I haven’t had my hair in it’s natural colour since Grade 4 – I dye it all the time.
3. I have had grey hairs since I was 16, and they’re only getting worse.
4. I have a crazy obsession with chocolate. I just can’t get enough of the stuff.
5. I have two cats who I love, and can’t imagine having kids right now – the cats are a handful enough!
6. I have 10 piercings.
7. I have 4 tattoos.
8. I’ve started up my own web design business but I don’t have enough clients to give me an income enough to live off.
9. I therefore am unemployed and need a job.
10. I love the colour pink – I have a pink phone and a pink iPod. Purple is coming in at a close second.
11. I once sat down and linked 500 paperclips together. I still have them to prove it.
12. I desperately want my own house but can’t do anything about that until I’m employed.
13. I’ve lost 2.7kg in the last 3-4 weeks.
14. I’ve bitten my nails for as long as I can remember, and continue to do so despite efforts to stop.
15. I’ve been with Michael for 5 years 
<3
16. I hate sports and most forms of exercise – I was never a really active kid.
17. I’m Pagan, specifically Wiccan, and have identified as such for nearly 10 years now.
18. I love anything to do with the Occult, paranormal, etc. as well as new-agey stuff.
19. I’m one of those people who gets curious about everything and has to know what’s going on. I don’t know where this stems from, but it’s just how I’ve always been.
20. Re: #19 – don’t EVER tell me you have a secret or a surprise for me unless you’re intending on telling me soon after. I will bug the living daylights out of you to tell me what it is.
21. I see myself as quite funny – I’ll always try to crack a joke, and I have a very sarcastic sense of humour.
22. I have an unhealthy obsession with the Oprah show.
23. I have a Nintendo Wii, a Nintendo DS and a PS2. I love them.
24. I love coffee. Coffee is the shizzle.
25. I NEED A JOB!
Even though I’m unemployed in the traditional sense, I’m finding that I’m continuing to have as much work to do as I ever have.
Like right now, I’m getting all my business stuff together (business cards, contracts, etc.) and also putting together flyers and such for my parents’ business. Mum has offered to ‘hire’ me as secretary for them – with a very minimum wage until they get more business (about $50 a week) but when they’re paying for so much for me, they may as well not pay me at all – which I don’t mind.
Anyway, I’m attempting NaBloPoMo this month – wish me luck, and thanks to you all for your comments on my last post; I’m really ecstatic that I have so much support
I received my ABN via my email today, meaning Inspirata Designs is now a registered business!!! I couldn’t be more excited. I’ve started getting my legal documentation together (contracts for work, etc.) so that I can do this all properly. This week I’ll have to go to the bank and open an account for the business, as well as get set up for internet banking, etc. I’ve bought an expanding file for information relating to each client, for easy access, and a display folder for my business info (ABN, eventually bank details, etc.) to have it all in one place.
I’m so excited!!! *wets pants – metaphorically, not literally*
