Remember when I said I don’t carry purses? That’s all changed now. Putting things in pockets is just not cool when you’re presenting and have a big-ass wallet in your pocket or your pants start ringing. So, I bought this purse, and I LOVE it. It’s the perfect size and slouch. 

So now that I am a purse-carrying adult, I need to live up to that adultness. One thing is being on time and making my own appointments. I bought this Filofax a while ago (after 27 Dresses… cough) But now it lives with me in my purse.

Of course, the next thing marked in it is: Sept 19th- Talk Like a Pirate Day… so maybe not so adult.

It’s no secret I am a huge slob who spills. And adults look well put together. So in addition to sunglasses, wallets, phones and iPods, this is the next item to permanently live in my purse:

After I buy it, of course…

I can’t keep up with all these changes, man! VIC work is almost done and *gasp* I’m actually digging it. Then I start in on super production for VIC two. (All clients are Very Important. With capitals)

Here’s a tease for the new layout:

Shiiiiiny.

Also, how cool is this? I want to do it… One day… when I have my own place… Even an apartment could do it.

New color scheme… I don’t know how I feel about it. I want a cleaner but not boring design overall. So it’s time to tweak with positioning and not just colors…

I also want to learn about the things I can really do with this… Sigh. One more thing to the list of Shit I Need To Do.

I know, I know! I had grand plans for updating, then life smacked me in the face with a floppy, wet trout. That smelled of client work, instead of personal work.

But I have been stacking up projects to do! So that’s good, right? And I love my VIC sort of a lot. They’re like “dude. our website is fucked up.”

It totally is.

I’m totally going to fix it! … with help. Lots of help. And maybe some cookies from Becky, my favorite PM.

So, back to projects! I already have the pattern cut out on fabric, AND the pieces pinned for these:

I just need to find the time to drag the sewing machine to a useable space. And then, I’m thinking it won’t be too hard to make my own pattern for this:

But wait to laugh at that comment until I actually make it. I thought it wouldn’t be hard to make (and I will re-make) that car catch-all, but it was a disaster! I will post the results when I am happy with them.

Also I was thinking of adding wings to the birds? I’ll see how I feel. Maybe make a few with and a few without.

I just made one of these and I have to share

This one was made from the words they gleaned from this blog. I really like the words inside of “things”: little & getting. Little Things. Getting Things.

 my life.

I also made one using Wikipedia’s entry on “Design”

I had a bad day today at work. Not because I was super busy. I had no work. At all. Not because people were bastards. They showered me with praise today.

But it was just a bad day.

Driving home, I gave the finger. Twice. To two idiots who don’t know The Rules of the Road.

Then I get home and open up my email. All of my email gets routed onto my home HD, so I can’t check it at work.

Lucky freaking hour, huh? And the best part is that I only became a member of Q102 to win that stupid thing. I got enough points in one day to enter 67 times. AND I WON!

And I promise to update with the horrors of the last month.

Later.
