Winning tagline & my new design

I'm coming out of hiding for a minute to show you my new logo! (Can I "unground" myself?) I just finished it which is why I just have to share. My kids and the dog are not good judges of these things, and they don't "get" my excitement in the least. I'm very happy with it and I think it will fit in well (no, perfect!) with my new site, my biz cards, everything! And check out the kick-booty tagline. Isn't it dandy? Amy is so smart. And she's helping me with a few other ideas, too. She's the only one who has seen my new site! Haha, the rest of you have to wait, but soon soon soon. And I cannot WAIT. Hoping Alexis can help me out a bit with my wording. That's her forte', you know? 'c) I have so many talented friends!

Now back to the drawing board. Almost literally. My computer is my drawing board. I would have never ever thought that my love of art would bring me to designing from a computer. I love it and now I'm working on my new business card. Now I know why I hired my very talented friend, Matt, to do my last card and website -- it's takes many many hours tedioiusly working hard on paper and at the computer. Any advice, dear friend, Matt? (You're a genius, by the way. I am not sure how you did/do it!)

Hope to be sharing the card with you soon, too. Or perhaps I'll make that a surprise, too? Nahhh . . . I'll be nice 'c)

Oh, Oh, Oh, OH! One of my very best friends in the entire world, who happens to be my sister (in-law) called me last night with the BEST NEWS!

She and her daughter, Ella (along with new baby dootle still cookin' inside), are coming HOME in middle October to visit! And they'll be at our kids' birthday parties and my Halloween Part-tay! I'm sooooo excited! I haven't seen them since June! And then I'm spoiled because I get to see them again in November and in December -- I've been doing a happy dance since I talked to her last night.

Also, tonight I'm going out with two girlfriends shopping and to dinner. I so can't wait. Without kids. What could be better? Maybe a drinky-drink? Yeah, that sounds about right.
