feb 18

today was relatively okay. We made a little over 400. Breconstructed dresses sold very well three in the past three days. So we know we can sell great dresses at around 25 to 35 dollars without that much stress. We have new people in the store each day with lots of repeat consignment sellers. We are giving out less cash and more store credit each day. We are in deserate need of new fitting rooms and the floor needs to be redone in a serious way. Norah came in to get her jewelry. She is the second local label that we have had come pick up there stuff that isnt selling. We need to get all the access art out of here. its in the way. We need to clean our bathroom. and our storage room asap. It was a great day. The store is awesome. I just took some pills. Casey is at her parents returning her car. blah blha blah im going to ladies night.

feb 15 bookdeals yes

we have to keep better track of our local labels. we need a better filing system. we need to get rid of any junk in our life. Tomorrow is dumpster day im throwing away EVERYTHING and cleaning up our computer before it crashes to the ground. Today was good we made a shit ton of money we can finally start paying off our debt. Take that debt. we are going to be fucking millionaries. that should be the name of our book. I cant wait to open up a second store and buy a warehouse. LIFE RULEEEEESSSSSSSS. Platos prices are out of control. They still have large numbers to meet. We are averaging $515 a day which is around $3,090 a week. We are spending around 650.00 on merchandise a week as well. which leaves us at around $2440 a week. which is $9,760 a month. after rent, bills, food we have a profit of around $7000.

We are going to pick a day each week. Either the busiest day friday or saturday and whatever we make we are going to put it towards paying off the 15,000 credit card and the back rent which is around $2500 im assuming. I have to go find out tomorrow. Shit is looking good. We need to save up to go to china and have our line made. Im so fucking stoked...... so fucking stoked.......... we have to train these interns NOWWWWWWWWWWW

feb 14

its valentines day and i want to eat a sandwich and i cant because everyone is in here. We will probably do around 500 today. Today we mainly sold dresses and guys tee's. Casey went to platos and rugged the other day and we've been buying merchandise pretty steadily. I've given 72 dollars to people for selling clothes. And 8 dollars of store credit has been used. Casey it out of town but things have been really smooth today because most of the items were marked besides a bunch of shoes. And we have correct change in the register. It is important to keep ones during shows so we don't have to run around and get change. Also having 2 dollars worth of dimes and nickles and 5 dollars worth of quarters is necessary at the beginning of each week. i will make sure I get that from the bank on monday. Tomorrow I'm going to stay open to buy dresses by appointment i put up a post.

feb 13

today was insane busy we did over 700. Casey and I need to both be here on Fridays. Its pay day and when the weather is warm there are times there are 10 people in the store at a time which doesnt sound like much but it is. Every 20 minutes I have to go around the store to straighten the racks. We are very good at buying items and pricing them quickly.

thank god for the pricing gun

We had a business day and we decided that it is important to build our credit and pay off all debt. So we are going to take care of casey bills first. Then we are going to pay ourselves 100 dollars a week. we are going to set aside one day a week either saturday or sunday (whichever day is the busiest) and we will use the money made on that day bi weekly to pay off back rent, Caseys parents, and ups and phcy. We are almost a year late in payments for phcy but their shit isnt selling so Whos gives a shit. Yeah they can trash talk us in europe but im not too worried about that. Casey and I went to 821 and had a buisness dinner and discussed how much we love working with eachother. Casey volunteered to help me with ligerbeat which is awesome. We need a vacation but i want to wait until we pay off half our debt first which is around 8000 dollars and we should have that by the end of the summer I hope if things keep going well. At the same time we are going to pay off our personal debt which is for casey 1400 and for me 2500. I am going to save up for mine and pay it all off in one of the lump settlements where i pay it all at once for like 1800 or something.

hurray the world is ours. Bill wants to get a warehouse in the next 3 years so its time to get our life straight.

I started filming the shows at rumors so i can use it for a weekly show on public access. Casey and I also started filming a video for peter perfect because we are in desperate need to be madeover. I need my nails done this is bullshit.

feb 12

The store has been insane today. Casey and I are working on getting on a show called Peter perfect to get our store remodeled on style network. I Procured a camera from a guy who was a dick to my friend. Hes a bitch and doesnt want me to hate him so I got it for free. Casey is out of town picking up a car from her parents to use to go to some unimportant family weddding.

Well tonight we have a show. which is 70 bucks which is nice. Today was crazy busy I came in late because i was working on mainly liger beat internet stuff and rumors internet stuff.

We picked up a new line which is really nice. We picked up another independent line last week as well. The daily goals are getting higher. We may be able to pay off some taxes by the end of the month.

we bought 55 items. with $60.60 store credit and $54.00 in cash given out.
we did 638.70 with $79 from labels and $31 for records

busy busy busy

marshe and i have been working ourselves sick. the thrift shop took off with a running start and i know it can only get better. we fixed our business in a week. shows are finally slowing down too...decided to get more picky with them. make us stand out for having upcoming bands and lots of females rather than being a place for anyone who needs a spot...
had a seed bomb workshop on sunday- id like to do more free community workshops if possible. led to business and good times.
yesterday we were closed- i was sick and marshe had appointments. then had to pay our electricity bill so they wouldnt shut off power. it sucks that the only days we get off are if we're super busy with other things, or if we feel like hell.
today i made a new consignment sheet and wrote a press release. Urge already said theyd write a story.
tomorrow i have to do some RVA shots and speak in a class...
