I think I’m going to make a weekly habit of posting general life and business updates on Wednesday around here. Lots of blogs do it, and I always have lots of little things I’d like to talk about but no way to turn them into a larger post with a lesson. I’ll try to keep it cool and relevant still though! So, without further ado:

The Snowmageddon:

Yes, it is here.  To stay, apparently, until Friday or so, by which time I will have completely run out of milk and conditioner. I am trying to see this as a week to be super productive and restructure my business and write meaningful things in my journal, but instead I’ve mostly been drinking green tea by the potful and wishing I lived in Hawaii. In my pajamas.  Sir Didymus (the cottage copy secretary and chief spaniel) enjoys snow, and would love to go for a walk except that….

I Bruised My Butt (and Arms, and Ankle, and Shoulder, and Elbow)

I had to go into town yesterday, and managed to fall on the ice and snow. Now, if you know me, this isn’t a huge surprise, since I’m not sure I’ve ever actually met a surface that I couldn’t injure myself on.  However, it hurts.  And I’m totally embarrassed that I managed to be klutzy enough to injure half my body on a small patch of ice.  However, I’m mostly putting this in the reasons I am glad I now work at home.

The Best Paper Store, Ever.

When one is stuck in bed (if one is me, at least), searching etsy can be a great source of entertainment. I spend a lot of time on etsy for work related things, but very rarely just have the pleasure of flipping through it. Yesterday, I found this. I actually think I might go so far to say that this is the paper store of my dreams. Gorgeous, unique, eco-friendly, and I think that you could probably buy out all her listings for under $200. If I wasn’t in full on house savings mode, I’d be tempted to do exactly that.

I almost bought an envelope set, but then I realized that I don’t write letters.  So unless I intend to start packing my invoices in cool handmade envelopes, this seems like a waste. Anyone up for a pen pal?

Awesome Marketing Post of the Week:

I would be so happy to say that I wrote this, but I didn’t. However, I completely agree with all of this. Jane Austen would have been an amazing blogger, and even in our age of 140 characters, conversational excellence is a rare and commendable thing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to read Persuasion for the ten millionth time.
