Should've Read the Warning

I don't feel so good.

I'm not technically sick, but I am nauseated from motion sickness. Yesterday Alexander finally got the game he has been waiting for: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Oh yeah! So as Wii games go, this one rocks. However, it makes me feel very sick to play it. And then, once I play it, I am sick the entire rest of the day. After feeling awful for a couple hours today, we looked on the game's box and found a warning that read; "Playing video games can cause motion sickness in some players. If you or your child feels dizzy or nauseous when playing video games, stop playing and rest. Do not drive or engage in other demanding activity until you feel better." Hmmm... at least I'm not having seizures which the game also warns about. Needless to say Alexander has been begging me to play with him all day, and now I am sick. Blech!

I was supposed to have a wedding consultation this morning at 10:00, but my client called and canceled at 9:30, approximately way too late! I was up until 3:00am making sure I had all the papers ready and all the appropriate room designs drawn up and that my house was spotless, and then she called and acted like it was no big deal! I was infuriated! Plus, she was rather rude on the phone, so I think I will take her wedding off my calender. She can try to find someone else to decorate her wedding this late in the game (good luck with that).

To make up for the frustrating morning, I got a phone call this afternoon that made my day. This woman was the mother of the groom and was in charge of the luncheon, but had no idea what to do or how to get started. My experience at C&W finally paid off as I BS'd my way through one of the best business calls I have ever had. I recommended a caterer, gave her design ideas, gave her an estimate, practically read her mind (so she said), told her what she needed to ask when reserving a park for the luncheon, etc. It was totally awesome! She told me she had a list of phone numbers in front of her and no one had she had talked to had been nearly as informational as me. After talking for about 15 min she asked me to call her in 2 days to make sure she hadn't lost her mind yet and to discuss more details. I am pretty sure I have this one in the bag (plus this woman is hilarious!)! The best part though was that I asked her how she got the number (so that I would know what marketing was working) and she said she found it on the internet! Boo-Yah! It's working, it's working, it's working!!!

Anyway, if you can't tell I am pretty psyched. Plus, I found out today that I am for sure a vendor at the upcoming Bridal Fair at Provo High on March 29! Awesome marketing opportunity! If I get even one wedding booked from it, it will make up for the cost of the show. Overall I would say that things are going pretty well for my little business.

Well, my nausea has mostly gone away so I think it's time for bed.
