I opened up shop on bigcommerce to see how it goes. Having a grand opening sale of 30% off orders over $20. Head over if you like, share if you love me.

And Live Handmade

Nuff said.

A friend of a friend is trying to get a cool zombie children's book called "Zack Meets the Zombie" published and is raising funds through kickstarter. It looks like an awesome book, even for adults who love zombies. You've got nothing to lose by donating if he doesn't meet his goal and if he does, you get swag depending on how much you've contributed, so why not?!

Brett just got some bad news at the doctor's. He went to the chiropractor to see if he could squeeze him in while on lunch, but the chiro sent him straight to the hospital to get looked at. He was told that best case scenario, he has a herniated disk. Worst case, hip replacement. His grandfather had both hips replaced at 50 years old, so he's really nervous and can't even get his MRI until the insurance company okays it. I'm worried, but I'm trying not to let him know how much because it will only make him worry more. Hopefully he will only need some cortisone shots and will get better. Crossing my fingers and toes.

I have a great opportunity to get a business makeover including branding and advertising which will help me tremendously. I'm a nominee right now and could use comments from those that have purchased from me or those that like my items. If you could please go here and leave a comment (keep it clean please!) I would be grateful.

They are currently just tallying comments to choose the nominees that will go on to voting stage, so if (hopefully) I make it through, I'll need to ask you to vote at that time.

Thanks so much in advance. Without some of you who have purchased from me or just supported me, I would be nowhere!

Soo... Brett has two weeks of vacation again and of course the company limits the times you can take it which means no vacation between April and September. That also means a few long weekends through the summer and a week in the spring.. He was originally going to be on a cruise for his best friend's wedding, but work screwed him on that...

So that leaves us with about a month to go on vacation. We have about $1000 to spend on the 4 of us. Where the fuck do we go???

Well, since this past Saturday, I've started on an exercise routine of mostly kickboxing boot camp, with some core, upper body and combat training exercises (thanks to GIBrett's instruction). Yesterday I took before pictures and today I measured and figured out my BMI and body fat percentage so I can watch myself shrink.

I also started a semi-private group on facebook where other people that need motivation and to hold themselves more accountable can put their info and track their progress. If anyone is interested, I'll give you the link. It's a "closed" group which means you can see who's in it, but you can't see anyone's posts unless you're a member.

I'm going to treat it like an SG group where I'd like to see that you're not just a troll or a PSW fan or whatever, but actually trying to obtain a goal. Also, if you're inactive for a while, I'll remove you because it's not doing anyone good to have people that aren't really interested in bettering their health and/or bodies.

Fuck New Year's and fuck getting older.
