I.am.exhausted

So I know I haven't blogged in like, forever. But I have a good reason, I promise.

Remember how I decided to sell jewelry so I "had something to do..."? Well, I got my wish. Since I became a "jeweler" (fancy, schmancy, huh?) I have done nothing but deal w/ jewelry. I had my training show last Tuesday & it was a great success. Between then & now there's been something going on every single day.

I will not bore you w/ all the gruesome details, but the last week has been crazy! Whether it's going to buy something that I need for my shows, tagging the jewelry that came in my starter kit (which took about 2 hours...I got a ton of stuff!), working on invitations for the 2 home shows I have next Friday & Saturday, downloading Premier's software to place my orders, placing my training show order, setting up an account to accept credit cards, setting up a bank account...you get the drift. I haven't been to bed before 11:30 (& ya'll know Miss Cranky Pants needs her rest...)

And since I know ya'll care SO much, I will try to document better the madness that is Premier Jewelry for me. Tomorrow I will be tagging all the new pieces I got from my home show & figuring out where to put everything in my case. I have also been working on a cheat sheet, er, I mean index cards to keep my mind on track when I'm nervous as all get out at the shows. I have to finish those up tomorrow as well. My goal is to have everything ready to go for my 1st show Tuesday (thanks, Alicia!) because Sunday is Track Day & we won't be home.

I'm really excited about it all, but kinda nervous too. While for the most part, I'm a pretty confident chick, I am worried that no one will wanna book a show w/ me & then what am I gonna do?! The "leadership" people have given us a challenge that if we have 9 shows in 45 days, we get to go on a "girls day out" w/ them. Complete w/ lunch & mani's & pedi's & I really wanna go! So, no pressure anyone... :) I have until Sep. 3rd to have 5 more shows because I booked 4 from my training show (which is like hella awesome! I have THE.best.friends.period!) (I will also interject that if ya don't wanna have a "home show", there is something that we in the biz like to call "you & 2". You take books around & get orders & then I meet w/ you & a couple of friends & we show a bit of jewelry & visit & have fun & you get the hostess benefits.) OK-enough of the plugs...

So the moral of the story is, I'm really tired. But I know when I get through all this preliminary stuff, it will be much easier. I just gotta find my "niche".
