I amuse myself somehow, watch the news, read trade magazines or read tantoday.com it gets boring in the summer, i seem to always have projects though, painting something or re-doing something or going over numbers or inventory advertising or re-arranging my lotion

That's what is great about having a salon 12 years old. Always something to do. LOL

And of course this gives me extra time for Arbonne, which is good. And being on Tan Today is fun as well.

Pull the beds forward and clean behind them.

Clean the bathroom,

Wipe down all the walls in the rooms and hallway

If your walls don't go to the ceiling....look on top of the walls...full of dust....clean it.

Take on a project to build more shelves or storage cabinets in the back somewhere...you can never have enough storage space organized.

take a bed apart and start vacuuming inside, wipe down the lamps.

Clean/wipe down/vacuum furniture in the lobby.

start calling CC processing companies for quotes....call your cc processor and tell them you got better rates and you want yours reduced.

Do the same with your lotion distributors

I always have something to do. I don't run the stores day to day activities. More behind the scenes. Come to think of it, there are not enough hours in the day to get caught up.

when it is sunny out I will sit in the backyard for a bit ( have a really nice backyard at salon ) I always forget my sunnies and end up walking back into the salon blind..

Think about being at the pub ( it's right next door )

Think about all the crap I could be doing at home..

Think about winning the lotto

actually wish that I would win the lotto..
Think some more about winning lotto..

oh and clean some more..and winning lotto
