Shelldoo's Zoo

i have 70+ bottles listed now, have another 200+ to add in the next day or two. lost of le, dc and unreleased. i hate parting w/ my collection but alas a nasty divorce forces one to do lot of things they normally wouldn't anyway link to my page: : http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/shelldooo

man, this week has been insane, but good insane, we have been slammed, and we are getting reccomendations from people and our coientele is jumping. which is all good, finally not using drills, and doing things right is getting us where i want to be, i may soon need more square footage and a few more techs, 4 just isn't going to cut it soon.

which makes it even funnier when someone calls to bitch about my shirts, which in case you are wondering happened again today, some stupid guy calls, saying our shirts are offensive, he expects to see that kind of garbage in nyc but we are in *hershey* duh dipshit either that or the real estate agent lied about where my house is, he proceeds to tell me he is a man (again duh) and has regular sex (umm prove it?) and it is offensive to him, i obviously have no kids, and don't know what it means to have teenagers...umm ok so my house has been invaded by small humans, and apparently none are my children. he asks what i think my shirts actually mean, i said well ummm we do nails here and they are about getting ones nails done, well he explains it is obvious to him they have sexual entandre....really now? do you actually think i am doing hand jobs in the back room. to that he replies that it is obvious i don't have male clientele...umm again poor assumption as i have a fairly large regular male contingency. seems he likes to make assumptions and they are wrong in every instance. butr it was a hilarious conversation never the less. i find it funny he needs to assure me of his stellar sex life, while berating me for my vulgarity...talk about an ass.

i was mixing scrubs for the salon (yeah yeah i make my own pedicure scrubs) and bent to smell the mixture to make sure i had the right blend and my dread totally got eaten by the mixer wound up tight and yanked the fuck outta my head. i at least had the sense to turn the damn thing off and popped out the beaters and unwound my hair but my scalp is still sore. yeah did i say dumb ass

for real i do. my son had oral surgery today. 3 root canals, and 3 crowns, c they had to put him under and he came out of it kind of loopy, so i had this on the brain and still tried to work. clients thought i was major nutters when forming coherent sentences became a problem. then i was corresponding w/ someone very important to me about some business, and product issues, and completely made fool out of myself, giving strange prices, and measurements and generally just being a numbnutz. then called to leave a message and couldn't even friggin remember my number so my message was along the lines of "this is shell, the problem xyz = lmnop and you can call me at 717.....oh shit ummmm oh yeah 717 blah blah blah" i hate when i can't function and i totally couldn't function correctly today, and i even hate it worse that it was business related and now i feel like a dumb ass when i am usually very on top of my game. so i come home early and just sit and go over what a dumb ass i am which totally makes it so much better

man, i need a vacation...really. i am swamped, just swamped. the good thing is i am caught up on shipping out the retail salons, caught up on scrubs, and the salon is in reasonable organization. the bad news is i think my pnuemonia is back. temp, cough, headaches, etc. not to mention exhaustion, and my clients coming in saying wow shell you ok you look liek hell...nice, i love when people do that.

well mercury retrograde is kickin my arse. i had 3 laptops blow, they are ubder warranty, but that doesn't help while they are at the shop.

then a fight broke out in front of my salon, i being the super hero i am busted it up and ended up being jumped by one of the guys involved, which ended up being a huge mistake on his part, some people have to learn the hard way i guess.

i had 5 npe oders as well as a very important letter go mia in the bowels of the postal system.

i had colleen's bachlorette party on sat, it was fun even though her cousin was picking fights w/ every one and stressing me out. the bar chick whipped my ass so hard i have bruises, next time remind me when she gets the first swing in not to tell her it didn't hurt ;)

i am gearing up for my trip to la, getting loose ends tied up etc. i really need to get away, so even w/ my being petrified of flying i am still looking forward to it.

will call is sat, i am so excited for it, but exhausted even thinking of it.

on top of all of thet i am still coughing though not as bad, and feeling bitchy as all get out.

i kind of feel like so many people need stuff from me, and some are just plain out bitches about realizing my life is insane and they don't take first prioity, whhaaa i pm'd/emailed you 86 times and haven't gotten a response. well excuse the f*@% outta me, my lapyops are broken, and i am spinning plate but sorry i didn't tell ya thanks for pming....grrrr

i have been lobbying the cosmetology board in pa to approve nail tech teachers license. they have cosmetology teachers license but for whatever reason no nail tech teachers license, so in order to teach nails one must undergo all the cosmetology classes (hair skin nails) for a year, then take an additional year to get teacher's license. in beauty school so little focus is put on nails that a tech basically learns to pass state board tests and that is it. so when hiring someone out of school i basically apprentice them 6 months before allowing them to do clients, this is time consuming and expensive. so i get my board update today and FINALLY they have approved nail teachers license. i called the local beauty school, to try to get in. they don't have them yet but hopefully if i keep pushing they will have them soon. then i can apprentice someone the whole way through, and it would count towards school hours, while giving the the knowlege to actually work on clients so when they "graduate" they would be ready to go. the only drawback is i am way over extended w/ my time right now. and burning the candle at both ends and the middle sounds a bit crazy even for me. however knowing this i still am gonna do it.

i finally went to the dr today, i have ear infections in both ears, a sinus infection, and pnuemonia in the lower lobes of both lungs, bed rest for moi, and some major med, so if i am mia it will just be cause i am in bed hybernating

still needs the voiceover but i love it so far
