Two weeks since my last post? Honestly, the only reason I knew was because I received the dreaded email from the lovely ladies who provide me with my coffee money.

People, I can’t even tell you what it’s been like around here over the last little while. It’s so crazy busy that I’ve been working crazy overtime at both jobs. I’ve seen my family so little I’m surprised they realize I too live here. I’ve been leaving for the office at 6:30am and coming home 12 hours later, spend 20 minutes with the kids before they head to bed, then I’m on my computer working away at designs until about 11:30pm. It ain’t pretty.

What’s new with me?

Because I’m not quite busy enough, I’ve taken on another job! I’ve joined forces with Swank Web Style and I’m super excited to have this opportunity.

I’ve cried many tired and worn out tears as I anticipated a sad Valentine’s Day for Carter as his name was accidentally left off the class list.

Thankfully, everything went well for the little guy as many kids and parents seemed to have remembered him even though he wasn’t on the list. That’s a parenting moment I hope to never have to go through again. (I’m not going to be that lucky, am I?)

For the first time in my life, I am obsessed with Olympic coverage. I can’t remember a time that I’ve felt so patriot and so in love with my country. I mean, I have a Canadian flag on my hard hat, I have a poppy affixed to my sun visor which are merely small tokens of patriotism, but now I am finding myself so excited to see the name ‘Vancouver’ on everything Olympic related. I was brought to tears by Alex Bilodeau’s gold medal performance in moguls on Sunday night (and the love between him and his brother Frederic? Oy.).

GO CANADA!

Once I have a moment to catch up and things begin to calm down, I will be back to posting. I miss you guys, lots!

Ah, I haven’t gotten into the Olympics in such a long time…though I understand why you would. I’ll definitely be watching more speed skating and snowboarding, though…I love those!

Congrats on the design…uh, is it a merger of sorts? Your stuff is so pretty, so I am not surprised.

Thanks! I’ll still be working on my own stuff at Temptation Designs, but I am also taking on work with Swank!

I’sn’t it crazy how we have all woke up to participate from hom in front of our TV to cheer on our very own Canadians!! I feel like we are there. It is a wonderful moment in our lives that we can unite and be proud of where we come from!!

Go Canada!!

(With a little dance) We’re number one, we’re number one!! And the crowd goes wild!

Congrats on the Swank job. They’re awesome! And they’re really lucky to have you — you’re SO talented. Also, GO CANADA! Glad things worked out with Carter, too. Phew!
