Saturday, May 15, 9a.m. and the Lewis household was quiet. Very quiet. It was time to make use of the time presented to the woman of the house. Many areas needed attention, but the office space at the salon had become more of a storage shed than a place for mental work. That was going to be a full days work, so the lady must not be disturbed once she became focused on the job at hand.
1. Face washed, teeth brushed. Check.
2. Work clothes on. Check.
3. Monthly Maintenance, Colostrum, and Fish Oil swallowed, with aid of Raw Apple Cider Vinegar. Check.
4. Cleaning equipment gathered. Check.
5. PB&J prepared and sealed in plastic bag. Check.
6. Cats feed. Check.
7. Lights out. Check.
8. IPhone tucked safely in purse. Check.
9. Back door checked for double locking. Check.
On the way the lady must stop at a few places. Wal-Greens, the post office, water payment place, bank, Wal-Mart for some General Chicken (YUM!)and don't forget to fill the car with gas. Then on to the study...ummm...storage area.
Throw the package from Wal-Greens into the facial room...you can put the purchases away later.
Awww...at last! Time to de-junk and make a get-away place for thinking about the next step in marketing! Yes! How I've missed you, my place of solitude. Extra column, you've got to go. Winter drinks, let's see if we can find a place for you up on that top shelf. Down you come large box of greenery and...???...extra styling tools, I know you've been waiting a long time to be used, but your family is holding up just fine. You're time will come I'm sure. But for now let's nestle you on top of the extra coloring bowls. Yeah...that looks good and you'll be much easier to find. Now there is plenty of room for the oh so awesome winter drinks. Grabbing the displayed items as well...do you mind sharing? We'll see you soon for the cold months are just around the corner. Just you wait and see, people will be calling out for you before you know it!
Now, what is that lonely box full of? The one that sits in front of the shelving...and when did she put you there? You certainly have a nice fragrance. Sea Side Home Fragrances!!! It's your time to shine! You will fill the salon with your ever so inviting fresh air and sea grass scent! And your shells are so very alluring.
Wow! The lady had forgotten she had some Feet by OPI! Callus Therapy, Double Coverage, and Callus Files!!! Wahoo! Just in time for summer feet! Oh look! There are TWO extra rolls of bathroom towels. How did you stay hidden being so large and all? And what is that sitting behind you? A whole BAG of Halls Mentho-lyptus vapor action honey-lemon drops! Jack Pot!
Hey, it's time to eat! Now what did she do with the chicken? Ahhh...there it is on the service counter, but looks smaller than it did before.
After much more cleaning, re-arranging, and tossing, it had become very late and time to head home. Looking over everything that had been accomplished, there was a sense of pride. Good job, lady! You can now lay your head down with peace knowing you've made a dent in the ever increasing piling of STUFF!
In the car, just called home to alert husband she's heading his way. "What's for dinner?" she asks. Wait...didn't she bring a PB&J sandwich to eat? Where is it? Okay, stop the car and go find it. It may not be the best thing to leave around to draw the neighborhood bugs. Not in the service area, not in the facial room, not in the pedicure room OR the office. No, don't see it in the bathroom. (Not sure what it might be doing there...but oh well.)Well, the lady is really tired and don't care that much at this point. Let's go home!
Did she leave it in the car all day? Not under the seat...not ON the seat...no where to be found. Call home! Maybe she just left it on the counter after preparing it. What a ding bat. No, hubby doesn't see it anywhere. Well, that really doesn't mean a lot. Hubby doesn't see anything unless it screams at him and jumps into his arms.
The PB&J is forgotten, since it can't be found anyway. The lady sure is curious though. Any ideas where the PB&J might be?
Anyone guessing the location of the MIA PB&J will be rewarded with a sachet of choice to put in your car. (The lady is really good friends with the owner of South Side Salon.) Choices available are Sea Side, White Linen and Lavender, Nature's Spa, Magnolia and Cabernet.
The lady FOUND the sandwich three days later. Cast your vote for a free Scentation Sachet!!!
lol did you put it in your purse??

Not in the purse. Think it through...knowing me, where did I put it so I wouldn't forget where it was?
ReplyDeleteOk, Did you put it with your cleaning equipment??
ReplyDeleteKclynn you are on the right track. Don't tell me your brain functions like mine! Oh my, do you have a journey in front of you! =} Another hint: being the savvy business person that I am, I try to keep as much stuff together (that's going to the same place) as I can. One of the stops that was made before getting to the salon, aided me in my intelligence.
