I know I've been terrible about blogging lately. More like, ever since I moved back to Chicago, it's been so hard to just sit my butt down and write. What have I been doing you ask? Aside from being busy with work related projects, I feel like most of my time has been whittled away meeting up with friends and non-stop eating. I eat and eat and eat. I have packed on my last year's winter weight in just a span of 3-4 months. Whenever my husband texts me from work, asking me what I'm doing. I text him back that I'm having breakfast with so and so and lunch with so and so....and so on. I'm ALWAYS eating. Ugh...after Thanksgiving, I am planning on going a long-term mostly plant based diet. I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'm SO sick of eating all the time. Any good long-term healthy diet suggestions that you've tried and actually stuck to?
Anyway, another good excuse I have for being away from my blog for so long is that I've been planning and working on re-branding and giving Truly Smitten a much, MUCH needed facelift. A new blog and website along with a brand spanking new Truly Smitten collection will be on it's way hopefully by early 2012!
On another note, my lovely friend and owner of Vale of Enna, Grace invited me to join a "tuesday work day" group along with Charlene from Sweet Chic Events, Veronica from Hinojosa Photography and Zenia (didn't get to meet her today). It's like a fabulous pow-wow work day with talented wedding vendor friends! It was such a great way to talk business, share ideas and advice and actually get work done (yay! finished my holiday card design) and not to mention, make a new friend or two =). Thanks, Grace!
Today's (and my first) Tuesday Wedding Vendor Work day @ The Wormhole in Wicker Park.
Oh and here's a lil something you guys can chuckle about. Here's a typical phone conversation with my mom whenever I speak english with her. This was earlier this morning on my way to meet up with the girls at the cafe:
Me: "Hi Mom, did you call earlier?"
Mom: "Yeah, what are you doing?"
Me: "I'm going to go do some work at a cafe"
Mom: "WHAT? you are working at a cafe???"
Me: "No, I'm going to do some work at a cafe"
Mom: "Since when are you a waitress at a cafe???!"
Me: "What? No! I'm doing MY work at a cafe!"
Mom: "oooh ok. I get it. You are WORKING at a cafe!"
Me: "No. Forget it."
Mom: "Yeah, what are you doing?"
Me: "I'm going to go do some work at a cafe"
Mom: "WHAT? you are working at a cafe???"
Me: "No, I'm going to do some work at a cafe"
Mom: "Since when are you a waitress at a cafe???!"
Me: "What? No! I'm doing MY work at a cafe!"
Mom: "oooh ok. I get it. You are WORKING at a cafe!"
Me: "No. Forget it."
