My brain is totally fried, so welcome to random bits of thoughts & feelings…

* On Monday I went to dinner with my good friend from high school. I always LOVE having dinner with her – the conversation is ALWAYS good, the food is always good, the company is always comfortable. This Monday wasn’t so comfortable and it’s all my fault.  I wasn’t feeling well, but was SO desperate to get out that I went out anyway. I only had five bites of my DELICIOUS dinner b/c I had a stomach bug and kept getting nauseous. But, we still had a good conversation.

* On Tuesday the sick hit even harder. My entire day was spent on the couch. Dog at my side, Angel climbing all over me.

* Oh yeah, did I mention we’re dog-sitting my parents dog right now?  It’s added a certain level of chaos – even though she is a VERY good dog.  Amazing how just one more small body in this tiny house turns everything on its head.

* On Wednesday I was SO lucky to be a part of the AMAZING event that the lovely Queen of Free set up for us Indy Bloggers that was sponsored by non other than Verizon Wireless.  That means that through the holiday’s I’m sporting a gorgeous little buddy that goes by the name of Droid 2.  It really is a beautiful thing that you’ll be hearing more about.

* Have I mentioned that Indy has a network of some of the most awesome bloggers on the planet?  In the past month I’ve been privileged to go to two separate blogger parties with some of these incredible bloggers…and every time I see them I’m reminded how lucky I am to be in such excellent company in such a great part of the country.  Where all the bloggers really reach out and get together on a semi-regular basis…and a good time is ALWAYS had by all.  Whether a small get-together or a big party.

* After I made Emily’s gloves, the Queen of Free ordered a pair (pictured above).  I threatened to keep this pair…I loved them so.  BUT, on that note…thanks to Emily and Cherie (and a few others) ‘gentle’ nudging I’m hoping to open an Etsy shop after the turn of the year.  In the mean time my plate is full with 9 orders for gloves that I need to get done before Christmas!  My fingers will be very busy – and need a holiday break of their own 🙂

* In all the chaos, my Christmas pre-baking has taken a back seat. Hoping to get back on it next week.

* Speaking of which, I get to meet HER next week.  I’m totally a-quiver in excitement.  She is awesomeness wrapped in incredibleness. We shall share coffee and hopefully I will be able to maintain sparkling conversation.

* I’ve been working on a new layout for my blog.  Hope to reveal it soon, but I need to do some organizing first…P.S. There will be Ad Space – email me if you’re interested in a block (sarah.cass.rp(at)gmail(dot)com)

* I am purposely avoiding the bad-news topic. If you missed it read it HERE and then HERE.  Thank you all for your kind words here and on twitter.  First appt is end of December & we’ll have more to talk about then.

* I need business cards. For that I need an official business name (for the etsy shop – preferably tied into my current Redefining Perfect brand). Suggestions?
