I’ve been keeping myself busy the last few days. Since my brother in law fell ill and the holidays took over, I got a little behind. I’m still trying to catch up on everything (both personally and with the design business). My brother in law is feeling better, however, he’s got a long road ahead of him. He’s still in a lot of pain and has already had to revisit the ER. They’re not sure when he’s going to be released for work, but from what I understand, when they do he will not be able to go back into the same line of work (insulation and air conditioning) because of the condition of his lungs. He still has to follow up with a lung specialist too. They’re struggling right now, like nearly everyone I know. Their oldest son, Tyler, he’s outgrowing his clothes — the clothes we bought him like.. in November. Yikes! I’m going to take him shopping for new pants sometimes this weekend. I have a gift card from Christmas that I still haven’t used, and he needs it more than I do.

Everything is a go with the new business. We’re (my friend Jess and I) going to try to start making products (hint: handmade) next week. We’re both super excited, and can’t wait to share our products with everyone. I’m sure there will be some contests in the near future. Lucky you!

I decided to go with easy meals today, since I’m trying to get as much done today as possible. Since it’s Friday and all! I had a craving for cinnamon rolls this morning when I woke up. I wasn’t in the mood to make them from scratch, so I went with store bought (gasp). They were delicious!

For lunch I went with a simple ham sandwich with lettuce and provolone cheese on my favorite bread: whole wheat Arnold’s. It was also quite delicious! If you haven’t tried that bread, do. Whether you want whole wheat, whole grain or whole wheat white — they’re all wonderfully yummy. I’ve used it for sandwiches, toast and even mini pizzas! Can’t complain about the 100 calories per roll either!

My mom would like for me to stay with her this weekend, but I’m not 100% sure I’m going to go yet. I would like a weekend to myself, since I don’t get those very often anymore. I’m usually helping my mom with my sister Nikki’s 3 boys (they visit with her every other weekend, sometimes every weekend, and I work on the design stuff on the weekends a lot too. Busy, busy. That words currently defines my life. But it’s nice to be kept busy. Doesn’t allow me much time to think of anything that may or may not be bothering me!

Back to work.
