Blonde Work Joke

OKay, so I get the blonde jokes thrown at me all the time. I think they are so funny. So when I came across this one, I couldn't help but post it. This is a Memo from a Blonde to her Boss about Y2K. Enjoy!

TO: Boss
FROM: Blondie

RE:Changing Calendars from Y2K

I hope that I haven’t misunderstood your instructions because, to be honest, none of this Y to K problem made much sense to me. At any rate, I have finished the conversion of all of the months on all of the company calendars for next year. The calendars have returned from the printer and are ready to be distributed with the following new months:

Januark
Februark
Mak
Julk

I also changed all the days of each week to:

Sundak
Mondak
Tuesdak
Wednesdak
Thursdak
Fridak
Saturdak
We are now Y to K compliant. Have a nice dak!!!

7 Tips for the Husband/ Wife Team

So, James and I have decided that my place in the company should expand into a larger role, that of the second shooter. I have always been the assistant (although he does use my shots too) I guess the pressure is no to step up my game. But anyways, I read a post on Me Ra Koh's Blog about working with your spouse. It was so funny and true. Now that I am really getting deep into the business with James taking me on as a partner, I did a little research of my own. And so I found 7 tips for spouses that run a business together. I hope it helps. :)

1. Make sure both partners share a burning passion for the same home business venture. You don't want to invest in widgets and find out later that your husband wanted to open a sports- related Web site.


2. Discuss openly any family obligations that might interfere with business commitments. Decide which is most important to you, your son's baseball game or learning to use a new financial spreadsheet program on your computer.


3. Decide to discuss honestly any problems you encounter. In one case I know of, a wife who believed in purchasing only the best- quality, highest-priced office furniture, for their home office. The budget-conscious husband literally hit the roof when he discovered his wife had spent almost a years budget on what he called "over-priced office doodads."


4. Agree how the profits will be split. Know who is responsible for paying the bills. How much will be invested back into the business?


5. Clearly outline what duties each person will perform daily. This will decrease conflicts considerably and help the work flow smoothly.


6. Treat each other as professionals, while respecting each other's unique contributions to the business.


7. Always remember that your marriage is your first priority in your life, more important than any business issue that might arise.

FONTBONNE GETS WASHED OUT!

So, I got a little tip that the Senior of the FBA Swim Team were planning on toilet papering my house to finish off their season. So, James and I waited outside on the steps until we saw them coming. They were so obvious. They only circled our house about 5 times, slowing down each time. Then they sent 2 girls out to check it was my house, by seeing if it was my car in the driveway. They walked right by me and didn't even notice me! So we got ready for them. James got the video camera and I got the hose (reminder it's October in Ma... not so warm out) As they inched closer, I couldn't help but giggle. And when they got close enough... I hosed them. They went screaming up the driveway. And do you think that the hose would stop them from tp'ing my house? Nope! They continued to tp while I stood there. I heard them say, "she's just standing there". But what they didn't realize was every time they got within range of the hose, I would give them a spray. I let them take their pictures and be on their way, but not without a final full team spray as they ran down the street. It was good clean fun, so why spoil it. And thanks to the girls! They all came and helped pick up the next day. But watch out girls, next year I will be better prepared. ;)

By the way.... we don't have night vision on the camera, and James was hiding in a tree, so not much to watch on the video, but the audio is hysterical! Watch for the girls running into the street!

Birthday cake, apples, pupmkins, and more!

Wow,
What a crazy few weeks we've had! Since Sept.1st Layla has started back at school. Both AJ & Layla have had birthdays. We have gone apple picking and pumpkin picking. We have had a wedding or photo shoot every weekend. I have been full steam with FBA swim team (we are 3 to 1)I am helping James re-vamp his image for The Feds Studio. I am rapping up the busy wedding season, videos, photos, etc. And to top it all off I am working hard at getting my business plan together for yet another great idea. Phew! This month doesn't look like any break in sight! Hey keep an eye out for my 101 in 1001, coming soon!

JUST KEEP ON TRUCKIN'

Sorry,sorry,sorry for total neglect. I noticed that my last posting was over a month ago. Yikes! I haven't really been blog stalking either. Since mid August, I have been slammed. As you all know James offcially quit his day job to do photography full time. So, I needed to pick up more hours to help along in the beginning. Along with working more hours, I began coaching the Fontbonne Varsity Swim Team, which takes up almost my whole week. And to top it off, I have been booked up almost every weekend for weddings, either doing makeup or photography. Woooo. I need a break. I am also working hard at developing a great new business opportunity for The Feds Studio. Hopefully this will become my full time job. But, it's almost October and this very busy few months are finishing up. I see a clearing ahead. So, I'm justing going to keep on truckin!

Indulgence

That's the name of my newest endeavor. I have officially become a professional makeup artist. I have several gigs in the works and hope to book up more fast! I have my pro kit and will be training with ElitePro. Indulgence is the name of well my company, but not really. It's more of a brand. And a subdivision of The Feds Studio which is our "real" company. But like I said it's my brand. And my logo is "Sweetness for your face"... I know, it's awesome huh? I love it anyways. I can't decide on colors, theme etc. I was thinking candy, chocolate, you get the point. I had fun with my first few trial runs on my upcoming brides. And they all have completely different styles which I love, because I am never bored! So if you know anyone in need of a makeup artist, send them my way! I would greatly appreciate it. I don't charge for travel within the Boston Metro area. And I am currently doing trials for free. And that's the scoop!

8 LEVELS OF NARCISSISM

I came home from vacation and immediately began blog stalking. And of course Largo was on the top of my list to stalk. Chris of Largo called me out to talk about myself. Ha! As a woman, that's no problem! Here it goes.....

1. I met my husband when I was 15 years old and never looked back. We've only been married 3 years, but have been together for almost 11 years.

2. I CANNOT resist the temptation of Circus Peanuts (the candy). I can't quiet figure out the actual flavor though.

3. I studied Spanish and Pre law in college, ha and now I do make up and photography for a living!

4. I am infamous for not being able to make my mind up in all aspects of my live, what to eat, what movie to see, what I want to do for a living (I think I nailed that one now!) and even hobbies!

5. I played with matches when I was 9 years old and set my hand on fire. Now I know why my parents said not to play with matches!

6. I may have a slight shopping problem. I foresee an intervention in the near future.

7. I am one of the guys, and I don't get grossed out easily. I love goofing around with the guys.

8. I am the only one in our circle of friends without a nickname, Jubb,Can,Chupes, Boomhower,Fifi,Fed,Ton,Carter, etc. :(

And now to call out a few people....
