Good news! Glenn and I updated our portfolio to include some of the recent projects we've launched. It looks a little different than last time, too. We've been having a blast working and learning together.
Stay tuned for a few more additional projects to be added. I'm especially excited about our latest client, The Girls With Glasses who are partying it up at Alt Summit. Lucky girls! That conference is definitely on my list for next year.
Today I'm finally able to come up for air from beneath this sea of Kleenex. Lights are too bright and everything tastes like sand but that's an improvement, if you can believe that.
Last night, Glenn & I were having a little PizzaCupcakes business meeting & I calculated out that we're currently operating at a level that brings in just as much as I make at my day job. That is INSANE to me. I literally have two full-time jobs.
Which is why it should come as no surprise that I'm sick as a dog {what is up with that saying, anyway? Do dogs generally get sick? Mine doesn't}. I've been working so hard that my body has had to work overtime & it was only a matter of time before I pushed too hard. It's crazy how mother nature works that way--I wasn't listening to my body & mind telling me to slow down so it stopped me in my tracks & forced me to lay in bed for 3 days and do nothing but watch Grey's Anatomy re-runs.
Can we talk about Grey's for a second? I'm pretty sure I watched seasons 1-3 when they originally aired, but even so I started re-watching from the beginning. The up-side to watching the show while you're super sick is that {spoiler alert} when Denny Duquette dies & you're bawling like he's your dead fiancee you can disguise that ugly-cry, snarled sobbing sound with the snot actually dripping from your head. SO HOT RIGHT NOW.
So anyway, the moral of the story is that I need to listen to my body better. And take the occasional break. And maybe not panic when I suddenly can't log into my sister's borrowed Netflix account to watch yet another season of Grey's.
I miss you guys, what have y'all been up to lately?
01 // A heartfelt & raw musing on marriage. I love Melissa's writing.
02 // Pretty neat stop-motion video for book lovers.
03 // As usual, Danielle offers up some wonderful advice. This time, she talks about making new girlfriends as an adult. I'm glad to call her my friend :)
04 // I'm completely smitten with everything from Kimmy Kuo's etsy shop. The colors and clothing design are impeccable.
05 // These sweetheart cupcakes are such an adorable {and delicious looking} idea.
But the way, yesterday was the day! I got promoted at my day job, to be in charge of our website and social media platforms {in addition to the legislative duties I already handle}. I am SO excited, as these are points of interest I do when I'm not working my 9-5. Plus, a little extra in the bank never hurt anybody. Glenn & I are celebrating this weekend, and I think to personally reward myself I'll book a tattoo appointment to finally get my have sleeve finished. Hooray! Life is good.
I know it sounds crazy but I often times miss those days. Since Glenn couldn't go anywhere all of our friends would come over to our place and we'd play games, hang out & cook meals together. Simpler times, I guess. Shortly after his sentence was served we took a trip to Seattle and we lost the camera so Glenn hasn't been able to make any videos or anything ever since.
For Christmas, his dad gave him a Canon Powershot similar to the one he used to have and the above is the result of the clips he's taken over the past couple of weeks which include lots of Walter doggy walks, bicycle rides, brunch dates & NYE festivities {and drinks, ha}. I can't help but smile and be reminded of Sixty Days. Plus, I'm excited for my boyfriend to have a creative outlet back which he very much missed. Enjoy!
