"We're in a box. Stop stalking us." - your business cards

Kind of a rough day at work yesterday - my favorite colleague got laid off and it was her last day, and work just sucked. It was one of those sucky days. Plus I felt fat all day. Like ALL day.

But, I'm feeling less fat today, and I'm thinking about all the things I have to look forward to - first of all my business cards are en-route! I'm stalking them on the Fed Ex tracking site like they're Brad and Angelina and I work for Stars! Right now they're in Maspeth, NY! They're on the truck for delivery! Hopefully someone at my building will sign for those puppies...

Also - this week is all about the skills for me  - I've decided to sign up for a class in web design. I think it's something that will be vital to my business as it will be mostly an online thing at first. I've been frustrated with my inability to deal with my website on my own and I want to change that. I want to be able to design things and update them and be more in control of getting my work out there. I'm looking at some classes through Parsons School of Design. Does anyone have any experience with those classes?

Next skill - embroidery. I am getting a book on this and going to get super good at it instantly so that I can embroider some of the dog tees. This should be easier than the time I bought a book on wed design and thought I'd instantly get good at that. Embroidery: Get a book; Wed Design: take a class.

Also, I got invited to a holiday party that a prop stylist that I know is throwing. He's this awesome Italian guy. Very intense. And he has a friend/neighbor who has a dog couture business... I'm going to try to charm her and get her to be my mentor...

Lots of things in the works! Just the way I like it. BTW, my biz cards are still in Maspeth... I wish they had Twitter and could give me an update. Although it would probably be: We are in a box. Stop stalking us.
