Almost Made It

I can't believe I completely missed posting something last Sunday.  I have had problems with my ear for a week now and last weekend was not very fun.  Our Sunday was busy and I wasn't thinking about anything but getting through it.  So, now that it's the last day of the month, I should be done with working on my blogs--but it hasn't quite happened.  Andy worked all month updating my style blog which I think looks great.  Then he got the idea of making my own website through Wix.com, so he started all over again this past week trying to put that together.  We're still trying to decide if we are going to publish it and pay the $10 a month for my own domain name.  I also didn't get business cards bought yet because I was waiting on the website to see what to list as my contact info.  It looks like this month's happiness project will spill over into next, simply because we're not quite done with everything yet.  I'm hoping to wrap it up this week and be done.  I'll post my new October resolution tomorrow!

Not much to report!

Ethan has had the flu all week, hence the low activity on my blog work.  Better luck this week!

Making progess...

We've done some fun stuff on the design blog this week--I say "we" because Andy has been helping me do most of it since I don't know how to do half of the things I want it to do.  We're making it more like a website set-up.  I'm hoping to finish most of it this week since I'm still working on stuff from last month.  Because I never did a yard sale, I'm still trying to get rid of the stuff in my house.  My friend told me about a local website that should help me.  It's like a "craigslist" for the harbor.  I'm going to try and get that done this week as well.  Not really what I want to do, but the fact that I could get rid of stuff I don't want anymore helps to motivate me!

New Shoes..!

I'll be working on my blog during the upcoming week--I'm so excited because Andy called me from work and told me he'd been doing some research on different things that will help me with my design blog.  I can't wait!  I'm excited to get putting it all together.  So, because I don't have anything to report yet, I thought I would try posting a picture of the new shoes I just got.  LOVE.  NEW.  SHOES.  Who doesn't?!  Everyone needs a pair of new shoes for fall.  Go get some!  (I got these from justfab.com for $20!!)

September: Work on Blogs!

Happy September!  I love this month simply because it feels more like the beginning of the year to me.  This is my "happy new year" month.  All of the great fall fashion mags come out, people are refreshing their wardrobes, homes and selves.  It feels like a month of renewal!  For my happiness project this month, I'm going to devote the time to working on my blogs--figuring out how to do new things, post pictures how I want to, and overhaul my design/stylist blog in hopes of getting some business.  The design blog is where I'm going to focus the most so that I can have it looking how I want to.  I'm going to have Andy help me since he's much better at computers than myself.  I have a couple of favorite blogs that I want to use as examples to help me set up my own.  I would eventually like to have an actual website but for now, a blog will at least help me get my ideas out there.  Having some kind of a design/interior stylist business is something I've wanted to do since I was a kid.  Other than going to interior design school, I haven't had the time or energy to do much with it but at this point in my life, I really want to focus on that--if only to satisfy my inner passion of working on something I love to do.  So here goes!
