I just have to say thanks to Andria!
Thanks so much for these gorgeous flowers!
I’ve sortof had “a day” here once again. What with dealing with screaming toddlers who don’t want to go in their carseats and rain that is seriously never going to go away…. Well. Let’s just say that fresh flowers that look as snazzy as these do, really brightened my day.
Hmm. I see a future Diary of the Nello banner in this picture………
Hey! Let’s wrap this week up so I can go to San Fran with my sister Holly and some friends! I see much shopping in my future.
That would be a “love spoon” and a cool postcard of where she is from.
She is without a doubt the nicest, most thoughtful Kelly that I know!
Thanks so much Kel. You are a doll.
Thirteen Things about Me and Nello Design
1. My official business site is up!
2. That means that I can now consider myself employed.
HA! Haven’t been that for about four years!
3. Yeah. As if full-time Mom wasn’t enough…
4. The business launch means that I get to use more sophisticated software.
WAHOO!
5. Too bad I have to teach myself how to use it.
I’ll do it though… apparently I just like to be “self-taught”.
6. I am now officially, without a doubt, scared.
7. Scared because I am out there now.
Now is when I will see just how many people are willing to pay for a Nello Design.
8. This where my inner demons come out to play.
“Nobody likes you, everybody hates you, guess you should just go a-way.”
~sing in a sing-songy-way and you’ll get it.~
9. This is also where hopes and dreams could possibly be dashed into complete oblivion due to a mass internet rejection.
10. Oh well. I asked for it.
I put myself out there… and I am ready for what comes my way.
11. …Or am I?
12. NO! I am. I.Am.
13. Come on… say it with me now… “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can……..”
PS. My house is getting FOGGED today so I will play with you all after 12pm Pacific Time.

I’ve got this friend.
In real life.
She just broke up with her boyfriend who was supposedly about to propose to her. Simply put, he wasn’t good enough for her, and she knew it. So, BAM. Done.
Story should end there, right?
Wrong.
I mean… what else is there to say other than, “He wasn’t what I wanted”?
Well. She has some other friends that are busting her balls about breaking up with him. Her other friends are like, “Why did you break up with him, he was about to give you a ring.” “You need to get back together with him. What if you never find anyone else that will want to give you a ring?”
Can I get a big, WHAT THE?!?!!!!!
I’m sorry. But did the feminist movement NEVER happen?
Why oh why should my friend, or any other woman for that matter, stay with a guy that is straggling behind her just because he is a willing party in buying her the coveted ring? Why would you want to spend the rest of your life with someone who was not for you? Is it worth all the effort involved in making a marriage work just to have a ring on your left hand?
Being a married woman, I have to say… um…NO.
I can tell you this. I got married four years and three hundred and sixty days ago. To a really great guy. And. I didn’t do it for the ring.
If I had… I would not be married still today. Trust me.
My question at this point is, when did marriage, and the decision to get married, become about a ring? WHEN?
My take:
Chalk this one up to just one of the million reasons that marriage is a very unsuccessful institution in our day.
I say it is a sad day when a woman would settle just so she can get a ring slapped on her left hand.
Wow.
How do I know that I am having a crappy day?
I had a See’s Awesome Walnut Square bar for breakfast. (Yes. I am well aware that this was a stupid thing that I did knowingly.) And you know what? I’m not even a fan of walnuts.
This, my friends, is a sure sign that the day started out crapaliciously.
On the upside, however, I did just make up a pretty fantabulous word… And in case you missed it, that word would be “crap-a-licious-ly”.
Okay. So I think now is the time where I need to remember some reasons why the day really isn’t so crapalicious after all.
Because Marcia told me I could, I bought the “Blame it on the Rain” tshirt. Like Marcia, I LOVE me some Milli Vanilli and I also LOVE me some t-shirts.
OH! And how could I forget? I also bought these fab slippers today.
(No comments about pasty skin or anything, please.
AND. Yes. On my right foot, that IS a mystery bump NOT a shaving nick.) I needed some new slippers to replace the germ traps I’ve been traipsing around in ever since I was in the hospital giving birth to Simon.
Note to self: Over 3 years is way too long to have a pair of slippers. Don’t get so attached this time.
Random thought: Do those slippers look a little gypsy-ish to you? — I just noticed that.
One last reason why my day isn’t so bad: I finished this design for Lena!
And guess what? She LIKES it! Yay! That always makes me feel good.
Well. Now that I have some reasons to keep my chin up, I am sure I will be hanging around my blog all day just for the reminder.
My uterus just moved.
