this and that…mishmashmosh

Posted on 26. Jan, 2010 by in business, FAQ, professor

I love this way of storing tights–it is the easiest way I have found to keep them all organized and untangled in my drawer. I stuff the waist of each pair inside a toilet paper tube (or you can use a cut-up wrapping paper tube left over from Christmas!) and then wrap the legs around the outside.

A few sweet questions from you…

How do you and Dave keep your relationship strong when you work opposite schedules?

I have gotten this question a few times. I actually feel like we spend more time together than most couples who both work 8-5. I often sleep while he’s at work (which is three minutes away) anyway, so it’s not like we’re missing out on time together then. When he gets home I’m awake and we relax and spend the rest of the evening together, and then I go back to bed early in the morning. Sometimes we meet for lunch. We talk online all day. Usually we are also together all weekend too. We have always just been best friends.

How long will you stop working (if at all) when Alice is born?

Well, I haven’t really cleared any time for this year, but for May and June I am only taking five brides per month instead of fifteen. Hopefully I can finish those orders long before my due date and have several weeks to relax–right now I still have energy so I am just hustling to do about twice as much as usual.Then that will pay off after Alice is born and I will be all caught up. Right now I’m still ahead of schedule!  It is SO nice that I work at home.

Between now and my due date, I am also planning with three of my friends to bring something really big and awesome to the Omaha creative community that will take up a lot of time and energy for us–but luckily, there are four of us to divide the labor (and the spoils!). I can’t wait until I can talk more about that…probably by the end of February?

Post more pictures of Dave’s outfits!

Okay. This is him at lunch yesterday–pretty much all he ever wears is a button-up shirt, a sweater vest, and Diesel jeans. Add or subtract a tie, add or subtract a jacket. This shirt and vest are both Ben Sherman.  I should have HIM make outfit posts!

Working on my application for Omaha Fashion Week today…I have to make a Powerpoint Presentation. Welcome to the 90s!

    That tight storage idea is brilliant! I didn’t realize it but all my tights bumbled up in my dresser were bothering me. I’m starting save toilet paper rolls ASAP…funny how such small things make me happy :)

    So… I totally rolled my tights this morning (didn’t use tp rolls, just rolled the tights starting at the waistband) and it looks SO much better in my dresser drawer. Needless to say… it made me late for work but it was worth it.
    (Can I use “rolling my tights” as an excuse of why I was late?? Please! Haha.)

    Hi! I love your husband’s sweater vest! I am still trying to talk my husband into trying out things like that. He did pick out a V-neck tee the other day, completely on his own, and it looks FABULOUS!

    You mentioned you love that you work from home, and I am currently trying to make that a reality for myself because we are trying to have a baby (we already have a daughter each from previous relationships). I just cannot see spending a minute away from the baby if I don’t have to. I signed up for a blog tutorial by Vanessa Brown, I was wondering if you had other tips as well for making a blog into a full time income? That is my ultimate goal at this point.

    Thank you! Hope little Alice is a’movin and a’shakin! That has to be the best part of pregnancy!
