It's been a crazy ride....
this past year and a half.
It's funny to think that two years ago
i had my own online boutique.
Vintage frills and fabulous home decor...
that is what i sold.
I loved every second of it.
It felt good to contribute to the family finances...
(and i got to shop for inventory...guilt free)
good times. good times.
In my plan...
(you know, the plan we make for our life, the fabulous picture
we see in our minds)
i would just raise my lovely children, shop, and re~vamp old furniture...
It was a nice plan.
But it was not to be.
i closed up my shop....
packed away all the pretty stuff...
and now....
a year and a half later....
I am the crying .... proud owner of
Hawker Landscape Services...
yup.
thass right...
i run
A DUMP TRUCK COMPANY.
(you think i'm kidding dont you...)
No jokin ladies.
I take the calls and give quotes
for delivering topsoil, gravel, roadbase, boulders....etc
QUIT LAUGHING.
I'M SERIOUS.
I book out our dumptruck and B.S. with
Construction guys all day.
It's not what i pictured.
at all.
ever...
never...
not
even
close!
but it is where i'm at right now.
I could get a part time job but....
let us just say....
i'm not so good with customers in retail.
(history shows)
i may have mentioned the word "GUN".
loudly.
in a bank.
that i worked at.
and i may have got 5 customer complaints in ONE day
at the department store i worked at.
i am not big on..
"the customer is always right"
infact...
i believe the exact opposite is true most of the time....
SOOOO...
AS YOU CAN SEE:
i am not cut out for the retail world.
so i may fit in quite nicely among the
hard hat guys.
me and my polkadot boots!
just along for the ride,
xoxo shell
Good for you! I personally love hanging out with construction guys. I grew up on job sites, worked in my dads construction office during the summers, and was the general contractor on my own house! I absolutely love it, I think I might be a bit jealous ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll bring a little 'vintage and pretty' to the world of landscaping.
ReplyDeleteLove the boots!

I missed you. I have been looking for you at the gym, but obviously we go at different times of the day.
ReplyDeleteluv the boots, and I agree with you totally! You're my kinda girl! Thanks for all the nice comments on my blog.
