Man I guess I'll be up half the night.
I had to go on a work mission today to try to arrange for a shopping excursion for the women at work, both Counselors and Admins. We have to be in Navy, Black or Charcoal suits by February 1st and no one has done anything about coordinating this thing. So I volunteered because that is what I used to do, sell women's clothing. I'm pretty much all set. I have 5 suits and several coordinates. I could use a couple new summer suits or I must lose 15 pounds to fit in my last years suits! I want to lose the weight anyway so I'm pretty much all set. As long as I diet! :lol
Anyway I went to my former store and inquired. Well the problem is they no longer sell the Women's plus suits at that location. And many of the women need the plus sizes. So I inquired about other locations..I met a great manager, we yacked for 2 hours, she is originally from back east also. Been here 5 years. I have an appointment to meet her at her store(she was filling in at this store for the day) on Tuesday. How's that for luck??? We talked and talked and I think I can negotiate some more once I meet her at her store on Tuesday. I'm going to tell my boss I'm doing it on work time! :lol :lol
There is a suit sale starting tomorrow. So I'm going to try to arrange a Sunday night party in the next two weeks. After close on Sunday they allow the party into the store to shop. You bring your own refreshments and have a good time. The manager of this store has her husband who is a performer play the keyboard and sing. And there are discounts given to everyone in the party.
Now, the company needs to put their money where their mouth is. I have done the legwork, it is time for them to come up with the funding!
But, I found an outrageous deal while there. A beautiful black shawl collar pant suit for $24.00. Exactly what we need for work. I will wear it on Monday, model it for the GM and say OK where's the cash for this shopping trip? :grin
Didn't get much done around here though. I went to Walley World and picked up odds and ends nothing major except the cold medicine for Mike. Boy is he sick. But the one thing I had to get were the Cindarella movies. For once Audra thought ahead and told me they are being removed from sale On Jan 30. They are valuted for 7 years and not sold. Kiarra would be 9 when they are released again, so she will get the 3 DVD's this Christmas. When Disney removes a movie from production it can be for anywhere up to 7 to ten years before they re-introduce it. I've been trying to find a Lion King for Kaan and boy they are selling for huge money on Ebay. Not going to do that, it will be back in 2010 I understand.
So that was my day was yours any more productive?
