(238) Supplies Shopping

Another long week...I must admit I have been in quiet a rut since finding out about the change at my job. So Friday I went to Tacoma to transition the work I had completed. On my trip I stopped in Seattle to visit Sierra and Dan.

Friday was low key and after taking the sounder up from Tacoma, I watched the guys try to install a toilette for about an hour while waiting for Sierra to get home from work. After another hour and chatting the guys were still working on their project, so Sierra and I headed to dinner at Tango.

Sunday we met for brunch - yum! After which Sierra and I went on an adventure to Zenith Supplies (http://www.zenithsupplies.com/) in search of materials for soap for her shower. We stopped before heading back and enjoyed some custard and chatted about life. I am so excited for her and Dan starting their family. Life feels like it is changing so quickly and I feel in slow motion. I suppose it does not help being sick this week.

We left for home late on Saturday to make it in time for the anti-Super Bowl party that is becoming a new tradition. Sunday I woke and went to JCs house and made some delicious chili before the masses started to arrive. It was a hit! Everyone brought delicious treats, played games, and watched some of the game (though there was more focus on the kitten half time show).

Monday Sara and I made some truffles and I tried a new peanut butter truffle recipe that is delicious! Also, on my way home I found a local supply company right down the street Shay & Company (http://www.shayandcompany.com/) that has great supplies for making lotions, soaps, and cosmetics. I got the final supplies for our upcoming soap making session this weekend.

This week I have to make the banner/welcome sign, lotion/soap, and truffles for the shower. Much to do before next week.

And to top it all off, we got back our wedding photos. I designed and ordered our thank yous, designed a book with the photo booth pictures, and designed a wedding album for my mom (though I may want to design another one and give her that instead). I still have to design a book for our honeymoon too! But it feels good to be getting thing done.

Speaking of which...so close to getting my taxes done, but have to research details about filling out a Schedule F. On that note, off to research tax stuff. I was researching having a hobby that you can write off on your taxes, but you have to make a profit to write it off. So my goal this year to build an online store front to sell hobbies. I started an Etsy site, my friend has a registered company, and website that we are going to work on soon. So this will be a goal for the year!
