It is hard to explain how much better yesterday turned out compared to Monday. For one, there was less crying. Less anger in general. There was 90% less television watched. And we still had thunderstorms, but they were outside, not in my person. Excellent.
Overall, I kept the focus on the main thing. Staying productive. Sticking to a schedule. I worked myself. It was letterpress in the morning, and then lunch/email. Followed by planning for the workshop and making projects. I then took a 45 minute break to watch a DVRed Gossip Girl, before going back to projects until the gym at 5:00. WHAT A DIFFERANCE IT MADE! Monday in comparison was Operation : Bad Television Day. Yesterday, when Paul got home, I was excited to talk with him. Not anxious to chew his shoes or bark like a cooped up puppy.
And hooray! I finished printing wedding invitations for a friend. They are completely her design and just lovely. I can't wait for you to see them Natalie! And I can't wait to order more plates for more letterpress projects…

Today! It's EARTH DAY! I need to focus on getting two more days of online workshop ready to run and do a little house clean up. I have already bought three BAGGU bags (what a fabulously designed Web site you have, Baggu!) and I am going to email Pottery Barn and Nordstorm (and any other catalogs I can find around here) and tell them I want off their catalog lists. Take it from me, large national chains, emails about sales are 100% more effective in getting my eyeballs on your merchandise. (Also, side note, Target is giving out one free resusable bag with your purchase this week. They're huge, just perfect for Target shopping trips.)
Also today, new letterpress prints! Inspired by the veronica family photo shoot, Mandie, a reader, suggested "main thing" prints. And I loved that idea. Thanks v! Thanks Tara! Thanks Mandie! Stephen Covey is the mastermind most attributed to the quote so let's also give him a ton of credit. Also, some twirl prints are available as well. Made with the fabulous Arturo paper. And seriously orange text? Can you beat it?
Hug a tree! Recycle! Ride your bike! (P, I can't wait to get bikes.)
enJOY it
