Okay, it probably took me way longer than it should have to get these banner ideas done (almost three hours, jealous?), but theyre here and ready for your eyeballs. Ive also added what Im considering...
Thanks for all of the advice I got the other day when I mentioned maybe/probably changing the name of this ol blog! You made some good points that I hadnt really thought about before--like how Im alr...
Pardon me while I complain for a second. Tonight its the belated New Years party at Hubseys office, and I was all set to wear a dress and be fancy. But then Mother Nature decided to send a cold snap ...

Happy Friday! Im surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly) tired after my class yesterday. But that may have had something to do with lugging my giant t-square and drafting paper through the snow, and...
In the spirit of being honest, I took these pictures yesterday. But I really am wearing this right now, so lets just call it being organized instead of (correctly) predicting that I would be too fraz...
I have my first wedding expo coming up on the 28th! Ive been reluctant to do them in the past, mainly because I feel like theyre just not the place for an itty bitty company like mine. "Regular...
Ive always thought Abe Lincoln was pretty cool. (Maybe its an Illinois thing, but I feel like everybody I know has a soft spot for our 16th President.) Lately the volume has been turned up even more ...
Happy Friday! I havent done my usual Pinterest post for a couple of weeks, so I thought I was time to get back to it. This is actually one of my favorite things to do, because I get to go back a...
Im not so great with the New Years resolutions. Like most people, I get all gung ho about them for three seconds, and then they just fade away into the ether. I work best with a lot of flexibility, s...

I havent been self-employed for a terribly long time--just under three months--but Im already having some pretty big lightbulb moments. So for those of you working toward a similar goal, I thought Id...
Heres the thing: I like to dress up for New Years, but I dont necessarily want people thinking I moonlight as a hooker. (Im sure its an exciting life, but not one for me.) I kind of feel like New Yea...
