I have had such a burden lifted off of me yesterday! Long story short - September 4th I "quit in lieu of being fired", filed for unemployment, it was denied. I appealed, had a telephone hearing with a judge two days ago and yesterday I received a letter in the mail saying the judge had decided in my favor, YAY! Yay, yay, yay, yay! If my body could pull off doing what my heart is doing you'd probably call the cops if you saw it because it would look crazy! "Happy Dance, Happy, Happy, Happy Dance" - I totally feel lighter than air right now!As far as jobs go I am still trying to book more Pampered Chef parties (Hint, Hint, to all of my local friends). Christmas is coming, what a great opportunity to get together with your girlfriends, enjoy an evening of food and fun while they shop for great Christmas presents and you get to earn free product! <call me!>
Another thought to make money was to donate plasma, but I have been turned down twice in two days so I'm guessing that's a "No go for me, which I am totally OK with. They won't take me because my iron level is too low, it doesn't meet their guidelines, even after I took an iron pill in between appointments which blocked me up but good. Aaaand you didn't want to know that, sorry... Donating plasma is important medically and has a really good compensation plan considering how few hours are actually put into donating. I've done it before and while I'm thankful for the people that continue to do it I'm relieved that it isn't an option for me anymore but I had to try, right?
Again, this blog is not about my problems but about my new life and my new career... yes, I do have problems, doesn't everybody? But most of all this blog is about my God coming through and meeting my needs - and since I mentioned my needs in the beginning of the blog I wanted to keep you in the loop about how life is going. This blog is about God creating circumstances where I am soooo HAPPY with what I'm doing now, where my life is going now... In spite of the world falling down around me I feel like God has been handing me everything I have been wanting on a silver platter. It's almost like I've been basking in the Bahamas while watching the hurricane whirl all around me and all my only task is to ask the waiter for more Dr. Peppers... and I'm OK with that! I love the confidence and peace that I have and I LOVE the fact that obtaining the confidence and peace was a gift to me from God, there was nothing I could have done to "earn" or "develop" them on my own. That was yesterday. <3
Today was great too! My friends, Wendy and Christopher, came in to see me at the school on their Date Day and blessed me by letting me give them both a manicure and pedicure!Here they are showing off their "new" fingers, aren't they such a cute couple?
Chris had never had a mani or a pedi before and he enjoyed it so much that he texted other guys and told them all about it! That's a real ego-booster, let me tell you! Hopefully that will result in more men coming in soon - way to go Chris!
Wendy also enjoyed her mani-pedi, her work doesn't allow polish on her fingernails but we put some sparkles on her toes. Here she is sporting those fantastic foam flip flops with her new pedicure and purple sparkly toes :) Go Wendy! Go Wendy!The rest of the day at school was spent watching one of the other nail tech students apply a full set of acrylic nails to our first paying acrylic customer, whoo hoo! Then Peter, the school owner gave us a lesson on nail art using our special nail art brushes and all I can say is Wow, he makes it look easy! Peter said I will get to do the next set of acrylic nails that is needed so I'm a little nervous, I think I should practice on my daughters more... Twist their arms, I know...
Today was a full day, a good day, and I am soooo happy it's Friday! Sleep in tomorrow folks and have a great weekend!
