Some funny things happened to me on the job this week. First I was in an elevator with a guy that was totally bald who was holding a hair straightener, I couldn't overlook the irony of this. I had to say something, (he looked like he had a sense of humour) I said "I was told that overuse of those things would send you bald, but I didn't believe them" He started laughing fortunately!!
I also had a job booked for a group of girls who didn't know where they were staying, I turned up to where they thought they were and after parking and unpacking the car the reception said we don't have a room that number. They rang the other hotel and sure enough they were staying there.
I did go up to Sewjourn again, they were a small group but very talented quilters, they all work on the same design but i different colours, it was very intricate and gave me a new appreciation for quilters, much more patience than I have got..
Best news of all though, I have finally got my web site up and running, it's like having a baby but the other way around, lots of late sleep deprived nights and then giving birth! I am so proud of it though I did 99% of it all by myself and from someone that is fairly computer illiterate that's pretty good. Now the fun bit of getting feedback from everyone and taking suggestions on board and hopefully not discovering too many spelling mistakes. The address is www.greenfrogmassage.com.au let me know what you think and spread it around, it's the seed of my little massage tree that hopefully one day will grow into a big old oak.
Bed time now, big day for a computer nerd!!

Had an interesting job tonight, or should I say this morning. I had to start at 2 am and work until 4:30am, strange hours but the banks never close.
I started out by sorting everything out to make sure I didn't forget anything, double checked my massage supplies bag, charged the ipod and printed out the details of who to contact, carefully putting it next to my bag. Got to the job early (funny how there is no traffic at that time of day!) went to unpack the car and was looking for the sheet of paper with all the details, oh no, I was still sitting on the chair at home next to where my massage bag had been.
Luckily the security guard was getting out of the lifts as I was standing at the front door wondering what to do, she let me in and sorted out what floor I was to be working on and found me a room to work in.
Everything went wonderfully well then as these employees were used to missing out on what the day staff got and were stoaked that they got to have a massage, they were very appreciative.
I was thinking it was a really good night, I didn't even get that tired, finished and packed up all on time, went down stairs and loaded up the car and went to start it, I had turned the interior light on to look for the piece of paper I had left behind and forgotten to turn it off, FLAT BATTERY! Who gets a flat battery at 5 am (Obviously I do!).
I went back to the front door and the security guard was there, after hearing my plight and a look of sympathy she offered to get her car from the car park. Luckily I have jumper leads in my car and after a little bit of maneuvering her car back and forth to get them to reach her battery I was off and heading home. Luckily I don't work these hours all the time.
Toast and tea now and then into a nice warm bed well a cold one at first but I'll get around to putting the electric blanket on my bed eventually.

Yet another fun weekend at Sewjourn.
Spending time with the lovely ladies who were there hardly seems like working.
Once again I came away really inspired but unfortunately this time there wasn't enough time in the week to see any of this inspiration come to fruition.
I am looking forward to next weekend meeting another group of ladies and getting to see their creations in between massages.

I was so inspired last time I left Sewjorn I have knitted three wraps and a little pair of fingerless gloves. Now I have that out of my system for the moment I can get back to finishing my business profile. I think I just needed a distraction for a few nights, I was impressed 3 wraps in 3 nights.
I can get a bit obsessive in regards to doing things from time to time. Reading and knitting are my two biggest weakness's I don't want to stop until I am finished, I wish there were other areas of my life that I was so obsessive with.
I hand my proposal in next week to see if ir gets approved, nervous time! Well must get back to it, no more procrastinating!

Was so inspired by the creativity at Sewjourn I started knitting a shoulder wrap. Just a small project to kick off my winter creative streak. My theory is that you find a man in Summer so you don't have to go out in the cold of winter, didn't pan out that way this year, looks like I'll be able to do heaps of knitting this year. New clothes instead of a broken heart!!
