Today was a day of marketing! I am struggling in my business. Right now it is slow. I need more business. I don’t need a “full time” schedule but I need more than I am getting.

I am trying a new thing. I am offering a class that I have wanted to offer for a long time! It’s a couples massage class! Well, I have reserved the space and need to fill the room now so it’s time to get the marketing going and fill the class!

I also picked up another side business I am figuring out how to market that. Mostly because I want discounts in the products, I’m cheap!

It’s been a creative marketing Monday! So not too exciting here. I just need to figure out how to make money with this blog, get organized and write better, maybe I would be onto something! Anyway, it’s been a long day, hopefully you will get some content from me one of these days!

Enjoy Monday, go do your work, wash your clothes and have sex!

It is mid dance convention weekend. There has been some stress, but the Girl has danced her heart out and done amazing as have her teammates! The kids are doing an amazing job! I love watching her dance! We we’re there at 7am until 10:30pm I’m spent. I had a great day and will talk about my day more as the week goes on and when I am not so exhausted!

birthday partyHappy Friday!!!! It really was nice to be back to a normal schedule today! I had 3 massages, then had to get the house and cake ready because today/tonight is The Boy’s birthday party! We have 8 boys here for a sleepover. They came over around 6 and will be here until 10am! In all actuality it has not been that bad. The Boy has some really good friends. Most of them have had The Hubs for a Coach and sometimes I think that helps in the respect factor but really these kids are just good kids with good parents who care so it shows in their kids.

Today I made a Basketball court Cake. It is nice but there are a few details that needed more attention. I have toyed with the idea of going pro with my cake biz but cakes like today tell me I am not goo enough to charge for my cakes. However, the entrepreneur in me says if I was pro I would take more time and the issue of being short supplied would not be one because I would make sure I had enough in every color and I would be making cakes more often so I would be able to make fondant for example, in bulk so that I don’t have to just make a whole batch just to have a small amount for one project I, in theory would have a regular amount of buttercream and fondant so that I could just decorate and not worrying about how the supply is.

I have a confession, I am super sleepy right now. The sleepover is going well. the Boys are watching Waterboy right now, The Girl and her friend (I always let the siblings invite a friend over when the other is having a party) are in The Girls room, The Hubs is playing Forza (a video game) and I am sitting in the corner of the couch falling asleep as I type. So just know today was a good day for me to reset I make a cute cake (far from perfect) had 3 great massages, even made it to Spin (RPM) class today, it was great.

Goodnight!

Stop Stressing Get Stuff Done!

Today is my Tuesday, my day to do house work, work out, rest, grocery shop and regroup myself. Which usually ends up being a day I get absolutely nothing accomplished. It is 10:49am I have gotten a few email sent, and looked up some info that I needed. I still need to workout, I need to shop, I need to clean, and I have a meeting with a friend of mine for some minor business planning type stuff, which takes away time to do just that. I am sitting down to blog because I need to, for my sanity!

Know what you wantI have been having some stress at my massage job. Some scheduling issues that are sort of out of my control as I do not do the scheduling. I have had ‘meetings’ with the boss, office mananger and the front desk staff, with little to no changes. I feel like there have been excuses and maybe unintentional lies about the policy and procedure we are going to follow. Do I want to have the awkward conversation one more time? Who do I do it with? Maybe the Doc, the other therapist and I. Maybe the Doc and the office manager and I, Maybe just the Doc again or maybe I wait to see if a couple more days to give the office manager time to chat with the Doc and see if that will get a policy going… I am not one for confrontation. Yesterday I posted about not asking why do I have to deal with this and why can’t I have what I want but asking How can I get what I want? So now is time for planning.

My Plan: right now is to wait out this week. See if the changes we have spoken about actually happen. Or chatting with my boss, the Doctor I work for, about leasing my office and doing my own scheduling. Then I would have control. If a client really needs me to come in early or work late I would be able to make that decision vs the office deciding to schedule with the other therapist. However, I would also have to do my own billing and everything else as well. My goal for this post was to situate my thoughts and that is not happening! I need to know what I want before I decide how to make that plan. Maybe my business meeting this afternoon will help me focus….If I have time I will finish this later. No time to sit around like this! I need to be productive! I am so stressed and frustrated that this is causing such stress. I have the rest of my life to focus on and tasks to accomplish, as if that is not enough!

Apologies for no advice or positive spin or anything that is inspiring in this post other than stop stressing worrying or “planning” when you’ve got nothing to go off of….so here I go to get my shit done! Take it one task at a time!

Not sure I can do this!!! Yes I can Yes I can yes I can!

Relaxing Orgasm

So today was the first day in quite a few weeks that I really had nothing on the schedule. I did take advantage of the down time with some much needed couch time! I did get some minor chores done, had to take the Boy and the Girl to get some dance shoes and the Boy woke up with an earache so had to take him to the Doctor today too. First All-Star practice today too, that was intense and weird. Now I am with the Hubs on the way to his softball game.

So sticking with my lazy-ish day here is kind of a lazy post too. I saw this meme “What Is Your Summer Cocktail Name” mine is: Relaxing Orgasm! Couldn’t be more fitting for me right?! As a massage therapist, bartender and sex blogger … I plan to make a Relaxing Orgasm Cocktail… I think it will be Vodka based, made with some sort of lavender infused simple syrup…

Let me try this: Grape flavored Vodka, Lavender Simple Syrup, sweet and sour and sprite. Muddle with some lemons and limes shake and serve in a sugared rim glass.

I so could use this right now…guess what I’ll be making when I get home? I feel edgy and stressed for some reason. Busy week with baseball (I’m stressed about All-stars), Dance and I totally forgot the Boy is dancing and he has baseball at the same time as dress rehearsal! (Aahhh!!!!). Anyway, just got to the field time to go watch the Hubs!

So last night’s Birthday party was so much fun. A bunch of my peeps came out and so did a friend who shares my Birthday week. It was her actual birthday yesterday! Was so fun celebrating with her! Her and I got to take Blow Job shots from the laps of our husband’s. With the crew went to the next bar and sang karaoke and then the night faded away from me. Apparently we came back to the house and I put myself to bed. (Good choice drunk Ruby!) Regardless it was a blast!! No hangover either whoo hoo!

And then today I had to bartend. There was a pool tournament and beer pong tournament at the place I work so I was brought in for reinforcement. It was fun. Well, as fun as working inside on beautiful hot sunny day when your family is home can be. Pretty uneventful but had the first experience deciding when to cut someone off and made lots of food. I got a compliment from a customer too he said “You’re a really good bartender” made me feel good. Although I did break the ice machine lid (not my fault it has issues) and a glass today. (Totally my fault I was reorganizing the chilled glasses, I am a bit OCD that the cold ones don’t get mixed with the hot ones just coming out of the dishwasher, it slipped out of my hand.)

Anyway I am sitting here on the couch with my family enjoying some downtime on a Saturday night. Thinking it would be fun to go have some adult time with the Hubs but also enjoying just relaxing. Have a good Saturday night folks!

Pre Birthday Sunday!

Happy Sunday Fun Day! Is it obvious that today has been busy. It has been fun though. We started with a baseball game. The Boy’s team played in their end of season interleague tournament. The won their second game in the tournament keeping them in the winners bracket! They play their next game on Tuesday against a team in our regular season league, we have played this team quite a few times and lost every time. It is a very well coached team. Our team is playing well together. Today’s game was probably their best this year, hopefully we can keep that energy going and kick butt Tuesday and keep it going!

Then we went to a birthday party for a friend of ours. His birthday was Thursday. He shares his birthday with my dad! Which of course gives him a special place in my heart! We had fun the kids played pool with daddy and I sat and chatted most of the time. And had my first birthday cake shot celebrating both our friend and my birthday! Happy Birthday!!!

So tomorrow is my birthday. I turn 36. I have loved all of my 30’s. 30s are fun but for some reason the number 36 is a bit daunting to me or something! I remember feeling about the same way when I turned 26 but still loved my 20s and survived the next 10 years. So I decided since it is my birthday and I have been having some problems following through with weight loss and dieting nand nutrition I am going to use my birthday as a reminder that I am not getting any younger and to get my health to place I want it to be for a long time I need to be more proactive and make better choices. I don’t know my specifics yet. As we all know I am the type that needs rules to follow so I can lose weight and so I can stay healthy. If I don’t have solid rules I tend to bend them too much and end up where I am at right now and that is not where I want to be. So other than my birthday party I am giving up alcohol for at least until after my next half marathon scheduled on June 13. Then who knows.

This is the first year in a while that I have not “pregamed my birthday! There have been many years we have gone out on the day before my birthday and at midnight is when we take a birthday shot or have a birthday drink or at least a birthday kiss. …..oooh I get birthday sex tomorrow too!!!! Yay me! But tomorrow morning I have to work at the massage office so I figure it would be a better idea to do it tomorrow night and for go the pre-birthday-gaming! The Hubs has his last night of school too. He teaches in the apprentice ship program for his industry and tomorrow is a final test so in theory he should be done early and we can celebrate that too! But you never know, we will see.

Anyway I am going to get back to couch time with the hubs and hopefully tomorrow I will have more purpose flu things to write but you know sometimes these nothing matters posts are fun. They are for anyway!

Here’s to couch time!

Unproductive Hangover Day

03 Friday Apr 2015

Late post today why you ask? I must have had a crazy day with the kids on spring break or something right? Um, no. I was hung over! I had such a fun time with the hubs on our date night. What was the occasion you ask it was Wednesday, date night. We were at our favorite watering hole. We did Karaoke, I even got the hubs to get up and sing with me and I got to sing a lot! We had set a curfew before we left we were going to be home by midnight. So the hubs could get up for work and I could get up to make his breakfast and lunch for him. Well, on our way out we ran into our friend whose 30th birhtday it was! So we ended up staying out to celebrate for a few moments. This is when I acquired the hang over. I have no idea when we go home.Hangovers

I remember a shot of Tequilla but something tells me there were more than that. I just looked over to the Hubs and asked. He raised four fingers on his hand. Which explains to me why I was sleeping next to my favorite mixing bowl last night. Wait, what? Four shots? OMG I really need to get better at sticking to curfew! The Hubs is so nice to me. He gets me water, gets my bowl next to me. Brings me ibuprofen to help prevent my hang over, which apparently I turned down last night. Usually the rule of my life is that if I puke I don’t get hung over but not today! ANd those hang over rules are not consistant! Holly fuck, it hurt to just lay here! Luckily my kids are pretty self-sufficient they even made a “big lunch” (their words) which means pasta for lunch. It hurt so much that even sitting on the couch with the laptop was going to be too painful. My eyes hurt the few times I had to respond to or read a text message.

I tend to get hung over easily. I thought I had figured out that if I avoided sugary drinks then I wouldn’t get hung over. If I eat with my drinks I tend to be able to avoid it. If I have carbs it is better so if I am eating healthy I usually end up with a hang over. What are the best ways to avoid it? Ooh ooh ooh pick me I know the answer: Don’t drink that much! It is such and easy concept but for some reason there are quite a few of us in this world that cannot figure that out! I enjoyed my night. Not the puking and definitely not the way I felt today. Days like today make months like dry January possible for me. I have considered a dry April and for today that sounds divine.

When I am doing a dry month I will go to our favorite watering hole and drink the same drink without vodka. Water with muddled fruit no vodka. I wake up feeling hydrated and lively vs dehydrated and almost dead. But there is something about that almost dead feeling that I keep coming back to. Tipping back a few drinks and chilling with the friends is enjoyable. However I don’t need the drinks to kick back with friends.

I need to give a shout out the Hubs. He takes really good care of me when I am drunk. He will even hold my hair while I puke my guts out! He won’t even take no so attractive pictures of me to embarrass me with later. He also will not take advantage of me when I am blacked out when he knows I probably won’t remember. He is a good guy! And I love that he even sang with me last night. He loves me.

So there you have it my blog for today. A very unproductive meaningless day that is a hangover day. However, I did get groceries for tonight’s sleepovers and met with the other massage therapist in my office to talk decorating our space. I am feeling better after getting up at 1 and moving. Going to go back with the family and eat pizza. We have two extra kids tonight, we let the kids each has a friend over, should be a fun night. I am glad that I got so much cleaning done Tuesday since yesterday the kids foiled my day and today I did with a hang over. Had fun last night and paid for it today! Oh well, YOLO, right?
