For those of you who didn't know Mom Glam Boutique, I with the help of my quick finger bidder huband has a new owner! That's right, you heard. Quick finger Fred (okay, his real name is Josh) with the help of one click bid put us in the lead, and led us to VICTORY!!!
Now people you have to image the whole thing as it is going down. For days the bidding remained low, and I knew that when that day, that time, came around it would be all hands on deck. I did my research, I saw the work and effort that the former own (Tara) put into the website. I knew there would be multiple bid offers.
B-Day (Bidding Day..not birthday..though in the end you would have thought it was), the waiting game is almost over. It is do or die time. Do you want it or don't you. I am sitting at my 9-5 job, and i get a text for my mom, "Did you see where it is at?" I replied "Yup, sure do." Text coming in "What are you going to do?" Reply "Well depending on high it goes, is where we will be." (lame texted back I know) Texted back "You know how much fun we would all have?" Reply "I know, it would be great. I will let you know." I look at the clock on the computer, its 12:30pm, OMG an hour to go. I log on...the bids are getting higher. I increase my bidding max. I get on the phone with my husband. "Hi Baby" i hear. "Yup..hi baby..you know what time it is dont you?" What time is is? "UGHHH," i yelled. "You know what time." (He really knew what time it was.) I said, "baby....you know that I would love to have this dont' you? " "Yup" i get back. "Well then, make it happen!! I have a meeting I have to go into at 1:30..the fate is in your hand." (As if it is a real life or death situation.)
Now, I am sure you all are thinking. Why not just create your own name, start your own online business and move on with it. Why this one. Why...have you tried googling MomGlam. There is blogs here and there, google ads, and merchant sites, product finds, and more. My point is, Mom Glam Boutique was a name that was already out there. Vendors already know the name, its established. That is a big jumping off point.
We are now down to 10 minutes. I grab my cell phone and run out to sit in my car. I call my husband back. By now i think i have called him10 times. (that is within 30 minutes) "Are you ready?" "Yes, baby I am." We are now yick yacking about nothing...why..because I am getting anxious. "How much time left. What are we at." I keep saying. "OH BLEEP" i hear. "What? What?" "We have been out bit." I am yelling, "hit it again, hit it again!Increase our bid. Do it, do it!" By now, my husband is counting down the seconds. He is yelling, "come on, refresshhhhhh...refreshhh." I am like, "OMG, is the computer froozen?" He is saying nothing. Then Bam! He says, "We WON!" "WHOO HOOO," I yelled. "I am soo excited." My nerves were shot. I think my husbands were worse. Just think about what it would be like when I got home, and the conversation we would have had. LOL
The rest of the work day was shot. My mind was wondering. Now what. Where do I start, what do I do. I couldnt wait to go home at start our new venture.
And that my friends and family...is where and when the new Mom Glam began! January 8th 1:28pm (PST) I hope you stick around and ride the wave of our new adventure with us!!
Sincerely Yours
Melissa & Joshua Jammer
