October, 2010

Hey all,

Sorry it has been so long since my last post, I have just been so busy working! Finally sold my first big price item, a $1,100 original photograph.  Otherwise the kids have had school holidays for the past two weeks, so I spend a majority of my time with them.  We went to Luna Park, which is a carnival type place right under the Harbour Bridge in North Sydney.  It was fun, but it is definitely no 6 flags theme park.  More like a state fair or strawberry festival type place ha.  We have also gone to the beach, watched the dad play rugby (reminded me of my dad's old softball team, but the injuries were a lot worse for these old guys, no pulled hamstrings, more like a broken arm or teeth!)

I also met some other nannies in the neighborhood.  We all went out and got free champagne from some old rich guys that offered to take us sailing, hope we take them up on it!  Just having fun exploring the northern beaches on the weekdays and going into the city on the weekends.

I am starting to do the marketing for the galleries, and even this new web site/business that my boss has been planning to start for a while. Also, the mom of the kids I nanny owns her won risk/crises business consultancy firm, so she is going to have me work on some marketing projects for the company too! Pretty exciting, hopefully I will make some more connections and get a real job and sponsorship over here, since the economy is way better than the states right now!
