I Beg You To Unload This Problem And Get A Free Vibe!
I thought if I ignore it long enough, then it will just go away. But it hasn’t. Because I’ve had it in my life for 5 years, and now it is slowly digging deeper and deeper in me emotionally. I’m talking about the business I built from scratch with my girlfriend. Intimate Pursuits. Right before the fall of 2006, we had decided to completely fold the company. Sad – but it was the right thing to do.
When we opened this company, we had dreams of staying lots of leisure hours with our children after at least 2 years of fruition. We of course underestimated our pangs of greed when the cash register was ringing music to our ears. The more moolah we brought in, the more we want. We accomplished a lot. Hired more and more people, inventory quadrupled, and we had dozens of consultants nationwide. We even managed to be on Dateline NBC that catapulted our business even more. But what we lost were many precious times with our children. And that part, we were not ready for.
Actually, we made the money we put in to build this business ten fold within our first year. It was awesome. But no amount can replace the time spent away from the kids. Within 4 days of delivering my last newborn, I was in my high heels pimping away the company. It felt great! But in retrospect – I’m truly sad about it.
I had 2 painful miscarriages (which I really think could be from all the ongoing stress of running around for the company) that I easily tucked away because I was too busy babying my company. I’m glad for that part really – but I don’t think I really gave myself the time to mourn either. When my husband and I found out about this pregnancy – it just dawned on me… That’s it! It’s time to take care of family…and more importantly, myself first.
My girlfriend (business partner) felt the same way – after all, she too has a daughter that misses her quality time. So poof! With supportive people around us like my husband – we turned our back and decided to drop everything and just let it go. I know we made the best decision, but it is an emotional one for us. It is after all – another baby that we cared for.
But reality is – What the heck am I going to do with all the darn sex toys in our inventory??? I can only have so much in my personal collection you know! Hehe. Well, if anyone of you are interested of unloading me of this problem – here’s what I can do.
As of today – Everything Must Go! 50% off for all my blog readers! (I'd have to charge a measly small amount for shipping of course) But since you cannot order from the site using that discount, you can email me directly @ wantsugar(at)gmail(dot)com and list the products you want from IntimatePursuits.com, and I will send you an invoice so you can pay thru paypal using any major credit cards.

I'll be happy to mention you on my blog and help selling the inventory. I of course will check the product list and my bank account and see how I can help :)
Your post;>
Something about someone who wants to give up working because family is more important, putting their children first ranks VERY highly with me.
So I thought I would lend a hand and pimp (no pun intended) a bit on my blog for you also.
dazed Nope not too late at all. Thanks! Email your address please!
Break from Sanity - I read in your blog and that made me cry! A good cry. Thank you for the kind and sweet words.
