SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!!

What do you get when you cross a Type A personality and throw her into a life of leisure? You think it could be a disaster, a time bomb waiting to explode (and still a current possibility), but yet, she is a survivor….and bringing home a lil’ bit o’ bacon herself…

So what have I been doing that I have been neglecting my blog and more importantly my peeps. Well, I’m trying to find work – and not at the lucky lounge as a cocktail waitress – I tried that – I cost too much here. I tried to be a salesgirl at one of the Fakie Markets – but again, they said I needed to sell a few of Coco Chanel glasses, not keep taking them.

So February was my biggest month to date. Wait for it – I made over $1000USD! (I thought I was going to make $1000US for the whole year). I know, I know, normally not something to write home about, but this is blog worthy well at least for me. So you all know about my tutoring and my monthly teaching gig, but now, I am starting my own “educational” website to help couples in Shanghai access information on where to find products and services for baby. I also put information and handouts that I use in class there so they can go back and refer to them if they need to. In the end, I hope the educational information will lead to some “unofficial” (please don’t tell the Chinese authorities) business coming my way in the form of patient advocacy services. My FABULOUS friend Robert designed the webpage and is teaching me how to post content (that should be interesting) and I even made my own business cards that look pretty good too! Okay, so the website is not quite ready yet, but I’ll share it anyway – any mistakes are probably mine trying to fiddle with it….I guess I better get crackin’ because I have it on my business cards ready to hand out in class on Saturday…

www.tlcbirthresources.com (get it?? …like how cool is it that my initials are TLC!!) (included is a picture of me with my first happy customer - Charles Oak Emmons, but they call him Oak...

So, while I’m still holding my breath (and hopping on one leg) hoping that Worldlink will finally get their act together and hire me, I figure I can try to snag a few customers by word of mouth and see what happens. Otherwise it is back to the cocktail waitress thing. Heaven help Shanghai if that happens.
