Friday is here and it is HOT. As in, almost too hot for the beach, much much better to close all the blinds and eat ice cream :-)
Let’s wrap up this week….
- Random, but I’m totally bummed they let Ann Curry go from the Today Show. She seems so sweet and I hate to see anyone in a tough place.
- Finished some gorgeous invites — one set was a collaboration with Calligraphy by Paige Tanenbaum and another for amazing Boston blogger Fun and Fearless in Beantown.
- Feeling a little disillusioned with owning a business lately. It seems the better you do, the more bills show up in the mail – hundreds and thousands of dollars in business licenses, sales tax, business property tax, income tax, etc. I feel a little bit like a hamster on a wheel, and it’s hard not to resent all the money that goes out the door just so we can stay a legal business. None of it does anything to contribute to growth, bringing in money, or anything else directly beneficial. Disturbing to think about it this way, but every fourth website or so that I make goes purely to taxes and licensing. It is out-of-this-world expensive to run even a teeny tiny little business like mine in America. Ok, rant over.
- To happier things: I am dying to see the new Steve Carrell movie, “Seeking a Friend for the End of the World.” Anyone seen it?
- Did a quick makeover for The Economical Eater. Stop by and say hi to Michelle!
- Spacecraft opened this week. Congrats Allison!
- Dropping off new cards to the market today. Working on designing Christmas already — can you believe?! And I’m pretty sure I’m behind. Sheesh.
