snoopy987789's Journal I met my client for the first time today, and I was so nervous! My Mobile Therapist went with me, which made things better for me. It was really kinda scary at first, it was in a part of Erie that I have never been in before (not really the nice part of Erie...) and when we first walked into the house, there were 4 people sitting there and they were all looking at me! After a while though, we all got a little more relaxed, and started talking. My client told me about somethings he likes to do, and I am really excited now. I can't wait until our next session. I'm not really sure why I was so nervous about working with this kid, I guess it was because I had heard a few things about his history that aren't so good. I guess it was stupid of me to form opinions of this kid before I actually met him...my bad, I won't let it happen again! Current mood: I havent posted anything in a really long time....and I don't really know why. I could lie and say that I've been to busy, but like I said, it would be a lie. So...here are some random things that I just feel like saying: 1. I have a mental list of people who are dead, who I would like to talk to. 2. I wish people would be more honest, and less stupid 3. I want to drop around 40 pounds... ( I don;t want to be skinny, I just don't want to rolls that I have now!!) 4. Watching adults(like my dad's age) make fun of a disabled person brings out a side of me I didn't know I had (I just wish I had the courage to act on it) 5. I get to read with a second grader every Friday morning, and it's lots of fun. I'm sad that this is our last week reading together :( 6. I went to Behrend the other day with Stacy and Jason, and we walked around for a few hours, and then we got dinner together, and then ice cream...it was one of the most fun days I have had in a long time! 7. I learned in my TSS training that for every 1 negative thing you say to a kid, you should have 11 positive things to say with it...do you think anyone really does that? 8. A long time ago, I wrote in this journal that I want to have an impact on someone else's life...and I think I'm going to do it by being a TSS, I'm really excited, my last day of training is on Friday! 9. Sometimes I feel like I complain a lot, and don't really have a lot to complain about, and other times, I feel like I'm justified in all of my complaining! 10. I hate people who don't say thank you when you go out of your way to hold a door or something for them...I'm going to start letting go of it in their faces when they don't seem grateful... Current mood: Blah...first day of classes :( It sucks...but I'm going to try to make the most of it. I'm going to try to actually go to the gym (since I pay for the use of it...why not get my money's worth?) I just need to find someone to go with me! So...if there is anyone interested it going to the gym...I will be available Tuesdays and Thursdays after I get done babysitting (at 8) till I have class (at 9:30). Then I'm available on Mondays and Friday from 8 till about 10:30. Let me know if you ever want to work out! Current mood: So...I'm half way through my 30 faces...and if I get the other 15 by Saturday, I get a prize! So...If anyone wants to get a facial let me know! I'm free Tuesday and Thursday evening, and then Saturday morning/afternoon...or if there is another time you might like to try to get together, let me know ( I usually don't work until 11 in the mornings, and I don't mind getting up early if someone wants to set something up with me!)! I'll work something out! PLEASE CHECK YOUR SCHEDULE AND LET ME KNOW!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I'm putting in my two weeks at the pub tomorrow. Fuck Dave. He's such a dick head. I hate him...Quick story: Tuesday, I was scheduled from 5-9, and I made plans with some friends to come over and do my Mary Kay thing, and hang out for a bit. So, I came in at 5 (BTW...I'm not supposed to work tuesdays...but Dave doesn't give a shit about what days I request off) and I told everyone that I have a commitment after work, so I can't stay past 9. So...the night goes on, and at 8:55 Dave comes in and he starts telling me to go do this, and go do that, and then go and take care of this...and I'm just looking at him like..."uh...I need to leave now...there are 4 OTHER people here that are scheduled till 11...why aren't you asking them to do something?" So I do his shit until it hits 9, and I say that I have to leave, and he starts telling me that I have to do other stuff and blah blah blah...but luckily, one of my friends/co-worker saw my struggle with him and she told me to leave and she said that she'd take care of everything Dave wanted me to do. I'm sooo thankful that she did that. I hate that Dave does shit like that to me just to see how far he can push me (because he knows that I just take it and I won't stand up for myself) But yeah....I ask to not be scheduled past 4 on Mondays and the past two weeks, he has ignored my request...but other people ask for special hours like that, and it's no problem...so, whatever. I hate working there because of him...so...my last day is September 4th! I've decided to finally stand up for myself and get myself the hell out of there! (and when I get my free car from Mary Kay...I'm gonna tell him to still his beat up, nasty dodge up his ass (cause I know it'll fit!)!!! Current mood: WOO HOO!! SO...my debut was today...and I expected that maybe a few people would buy cleansers, or some moisturizor or something....but WHOA! It was sooo much more than that. 7 people came, and it was awesome. It was a little awkward at times because some people didn't know other people, and no one knew my director (who was running things for me)...but from now on, I'm on my own! It was an awesome day, there were more sales than I had even dreamed of. And, I've already got facials with 8 people (people from my debut, then Jason's mom) and I got 10 people to try Satin Hands. AND I have 3 classes this week! I'm gonna get my 30 faces in no time...which reminds me....anyone want a facial? I have a few times I'm available this week, CALL ME! Current mood: so...yesterday, Josh comes into the pub while I'm working... and we haven't talked in like a year, so he hangs out for a bit and we talk and I give him a couple of invitations to my debut (only two people have RSVP-ed, so I'm desperate...I'm inviting anyone!). One invite for his mom, and one for his girlfriend (side note for those of you who don't know...Josh lives right next door to my parents, and his gf lives there now too, her name is Emily)...so anyways...I give him the invites, and then here is our dialog : Josh: Well, my mom might come, but I don't know about Emily Steph: Is Emily not into make up and stuff Josh: eh, I dunno (he paused before he answered and made a funny face) Steph: or is she just not into me? Josh: (kinda laughing) yeah, pretty much Steph: What! I've only met this girl once, what did I ever do to her? Then josh goes on to tell me that she thinks it weird that we still talk and she thinks that we should have stopped talking when we broke up and blah blah blah...then he stops and laughs and goes "She'd kill me if she knew I was telling you this" and he tells me that she was recently complaining about how often I go to my parents house because it "makes her uncomfortable". She thinks I'm ever there too often! Whoa! is this girl keeping tabs on me or what?! I think I should be the uncomfortable one! She's a freak! I might have to just start spending the $5 dollars it takes to do a load of laundry here! Then today, some prick came in and asked for something off of the lottery machine that isn't possible...he wanted powerball tickets for today, wednesday, and next saturday all on the same ticket...but we can't do that. They can all be on different tickets, but not the same....so this dude tells me that I'm messing everything up and that he has done this "thousands of times" before. But, uh, I've been doing this for 6 years...I think I know what I'm doing. so...anyways, he yells at me, tells me to cancel the tickets and give him his money back, so I give back the money...and as he is walking away, he mutters something about me being "so fucking stupid"! I couldn't believe it! Luckily, my friend was working too and she called him back over and told him that his language was not appreciated and that there were small children around who could here him. Thank goodness for Michelle! But yeah, why the hell would you talk to another person that way? What a prick...he ruined my night...I want to quit both of my jobs so bad...I hope MK works out for me...anyone want to host a class?! YAY!!! So, as of yesterday, I own my own business! BTW, check the time....it is like 3:30 in the morning, and I CAN'T SLEEP! There is so much that I have to do before 9:00 in the morning, that I think I'm over stimulating myself, and I can't sleep. I slept for a few hours, but then I woke up a little after 2 and have been laying in bed trying to fall asleep ever since then. But, I guess since I can't sleep I might as well so a little promoting for myself and my Mary Kay debut. I have talked with my director and we have scheduled my debut for August 13th at 2:00 at my parent's house. There will be snacks and refreshments! The only thing is, I need to know one way or the other if you are coming so I know how many people to plan for, and this invite is open to anyone and everyone. As I mentioned in my last post, there is plenty of guys stuff as well, my director's husband uses all most all of it, and she told me that we actually have many guys who sell the product as well! The goal of the debut is basically to just let people know that I am selling these products, and to get people to try a few of the products. After that, I guess I have to just hope that it will branch out from there, meaning, I hope that at least a few people who come ot my debut would be interested in hosting their own MK party. The awesome thing abotu hosting an MK party, is that it only has to be like 6 people, and it's just fun girl time. For example (using Jess as my model ;)) If Jess comes to my debut and decides that it might be fun to host a party, she could schedule something where I could come to her house and do a party that would involve her, Anna, her mom, and just a few close friends that might be interested in the products. You NEVER have to buy anything, I just need to meet knew people...thats how my business will grow... If I don't get an RSVP, I'll just assume that you didn't read this invite, and I'll probably call you 10 times to make sure you got an invite...(I have paper ones, but I never see anyone other than the people that I work with...but I will carry extra's with me, so if I see you, you will get one!) So...anyways...yeah, I'm just trying to get people to come and try things out...so, think about it a little bit, and get back to be. Hope to hear from you all soon! Current mood: so...here is a quick update for everyone. I am going to be selling Mary Kay...I haven't signed up yet, but I have all of the information and I am sooooo excited. I ahve been using the products since highscool and I am hooked on them. The girl I used to buy for stopped selling when she graduated college so I have no one to buy from...so I geuss I'll just buy from myself! so....here is my little sales pitch for every one (I'm trying to get off on the right foot with all this stuff...I want to do well!) So...I have a catalog in front of me, and there is a ton of stuff for girls in here, and even a bunch of stuff for guys (colognes, face wash, soap, sunscreen, shaving cream) and there is sooo much more than just make up for girls, there is skin care (face wash and moisturizer that I LOVE...I haven't been able to use anything else since I have tried this) there are lip glosses, lotions, foot treatments, and soooo much stuff...you can go to the website if you want to look at more of the stuff. I will hopefully be signed up with in a week, so start telling people who might be interested...anyone who uses make up, or skin care...anyone! LOL, I hope you all love my desperate begging for customers...just wait, I plan on doing the same thing on Myspace...I'm hoping to be able to quit one of my jobs so I won't have to work 50+ hours a week anymore...so....HERE'S HOPING! Current mood: 51. I have a lot of things that I want to do someday, but I haven't taken any steps to do any of these things. 52. ACTUALLY!! I am doing one of them tonight! I'm going to my first concert ever tonight! I'm so excited! 52. I also want to learn to snowboard, play piano, play guitar, open a preschool, travel through Europe, and many, many other things 53. I plan on learning to snowboard this winter (so if you know how, let me know! you are going to come with me!!!) 54. I am really happy with where my life is right now. I love living with Jason, I love not struggling with my bills, I love not being one of those people who had kids in highschool, I love coming home from work at night and seeing someone who is waiting for me to come home...I'm just in a really good place in my life right now... 55. As happy as I am with my life right now, I an also VERY excited to get married and start a family...check it out people, we are one of those rare couples who meet, fall in love, get married, and THEN have babies...not the other way around... 56. Jason's mom made me a pillow case from some old snoopy material she had from when Jason and his brothers were really little...I love it! but...I'm afraid to actually use it, becuase I don't want to drool on it or something...I was really touched that she thought of me enough to do that. 57. I am taking my little sister to that concert tonight, with her best friend, and my friend Dino from the Pub...I'm really excited...I went and bought the CD's from both of the opening bands too...I'm such a loser...but what can I say, it's my first, and I'm really excited! 58. I like to try to cook creative things...but I almost ALWAYS do something wrong...ask Jason, everytime I try to make a nice new dessert it turns out funny...I think I'm jinxed. 59. I want to win a poker braclet someday... 60. I would like to find out how to play professional backgammon... 61. I have recently decided that I am addicted to chocolate...the more I try to avoid it, the more I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!! 62. I wish someone would invent chocolate flavored veggies...so I could have my awesome chocolate taste, with all the nutrition of veggies. 63. I'm in the middle of three books right now...and making hardly any progress on any of them... 64. I am making a blanket...and I have been working on it a lot lately...I hope to have it done by winter... 65. I seem to go into phases where I work on the blanket every spare second, then I won't touch it for weeks... it'll just be nice to be done with it and to be able to use it. 66. I like to go down to the creek in McKean and play in the water. 67. Everytime I try to catch a crayfish, I think about when we were in the Outerbanks and Dan got pinched by that crab! 68. If I ever lost my cell phone, I would be sooooo lost! 69. I like blowing bubble with my bubble gum... 70. I like bubbley people 71. when Jason and I were in Canada I saw a little chapel, and I told Jason that would should just get married right then and there...I think I totally would have done it 72. I played blackjack for the first time at the casino while were in Niagara Falls, and i loved it, it was a lot of fun. 73. I have stuff in my closet that I haven't touched since we moved in here over a year ago...I should probably go through it and get rid of some of it. 74. I'm a pack rat, I'll see something of mine that I haven't seen in forever, and it serves no purpose, but I keep it because I might want it further down the road... 75. I wish I had a button for my hair, so I could make it long when I wanted it long, and short when I wanted it short...wouldn't that be wonderful? Current mood: 1. I don't have breast cancer!!! woo hoo! 2. I wish I had a dog named peanut butter 3. I love American Idol and watch it religiously 4. I also love the backstreet boys still 5. I wish that I could add 10 hours to each week whereever I felt like they should go 6. I hate having to wait for things 7. I love good conversation 8. I hate boring people 9. I hate people who can think of nothing better to talk about than themselves of their guy 10. Sometimes I think I am one of those people (sorry if you've had to listen to me at all...) 11. I've been working in a pizza shop for almost 2 years now, and I could still eat pizza every day 12. I like being able to say that I work 60 hours a week, it makes me feel like I've achieved something 13. I like to crunch up pretzels in my apple sauce 14. I have never been to a concert or seen any famous person 15. It's one of my goals in life to go to a concert...I'm not picky, I'll go see anyone...well, almost anyone 16. I love Rascal Flats 17. I love that new song by Saving Jane (is that what they/she is called?) that girl next door song...I feel like it's my theme song 18. I love being stupid 19. My sisters are my favorite people to be stupid with 20. Sometimes I wish I were more like Stacy 21. Sometimes I'm really glad I'm not 22. I love surprises! Anything, big, small, I just like knowing that people think about me when I'm not there 23. Sometimes I think that I have attention issues 24. The plants we planted a few weeks ago are starting to grow! 25. I tell Jason they are our babies, perhaps I will start naming them OK, so I'm kinda thinking that this is going to be a progressive list...I'll add to it later on, when I can think of more stuff about me, lol, let me know if you have any suggestions!
