Great Deal on Business Cards

Trying to get a business off the ground. Got a great deal going on for two weeks- can't beat it for the quality!! Spread the word if you know anyone interested. What I do is custom design business cards to the business or individual. I can make it as crazy modern or traditional and professional as desired. Then I send them to print where the cards are printed on high UV gloss stock paper which is the highest professional gloss you can receive. I don't print them myself; I use a non-local company that prints mass production all over the world so they're able to give extremely low prices when it comes to printing. Then they ship them directly to me; everything including complete custom design, print, and shipping can be done in less than 2 weeks. Offer ends July 15th. www.coxdesign.webs.com

This Weekend

So we went out on the boat yesterday with Chris and Nikki; was concerned whether Caitlyn was going to like it or not. She did fine though. She loves her some water, so she was dying to get out and swim. She'd jump in if I'd let her. We're thinking about going ahead and doing some swimming lessons as soon as this month if they're still enrolling. She's definitely a fish. But anyhow, Chris was so upset cause they had just bought the boat Friday night and everything looked great, but after getting it on the lake Saturday morning, it wouldn't go into gear; it'd just shut off. His dad looked at it and they concluded that because it sat in the dude's yard this summer, the gas that was in it is dirty or something, so they're having to run all that bad junk out. But man, will that thing fly. We had a blast. Me, Nikki and Caitlyn got out on the water and did some swimming while Shawn and Chris propped the umbrella up on the boat and gave me scares every 5 minutes as they were watching the fish finder thats on the boat. They were like, "Wow there's a big fish!" I know its just a lake, but I'm scared somethings going to eat me. But I have no problem getting in the ocean where all the sharks, sting rays and jelly fish are...go figure.

So I did end up being able to come down to Atlanta this weekend. I drove down here this morning and went to church with my mama. Preacher talked about F3 airplanes or something. Force, Fuel, and Flow were his points. Caitlyn wouldn't go to the nursery, so she stayed in the service with me and went through my purse, drew some, and hopped from my lap, to nana's, to pawpaw's. We went and ate some yummy mexican and now everyone is knocked out...but me, and Miss "I never want to take any naps" (AKA: Caitlyn). We're going over to my brother's house tonight to make homemade pizzas and let the girls play. I'm gonna run by Barnes and Noble first. Think I'm gonna get me a workbook on how to learn to make websites. I sware, anything to do with Graphic Design doesn't mean anything if you don't know web design. If I ever want to pursue my career any further in Graphic Design, I have got to learn the web stuff. Plus there's good money in that. And my brother's working on getting me the programs I need to pursue this mission : ) Good luck to me.

Bunch of Stuff

Chris and Nikki are buying them a boat. Might go out on it this weekend. I really wanted to go to Atlanta to see my family, but the pile of crap that's been adding up to my plate this week seems to be preventing that. Weekends need to be longer as well; especially for those who have Sunday duties. I found out a couple weeks ago that Jordan, my step-brother had to start going to school on Saturdays as make-up snow days. Like who invented that rule?? That's the craziest thing I had ever heard in my life. School on Saturday?? That's called "the weekend," the "resting time." That's just stupid. Anyway...

I'm really tired today. I'm glad today is Friday. Got some more business this week, so that's good. I did a logo and a business card for a construction and grading company in Greenville. And I'm working with an elementary school in Greenville on some different print projects. And came up with a logo for a new ministry Shawn is wanting to start. Don't know what I think about the ministry, kinda emotional about it, but I'm along for the ride I assume. So those were the highlights of my crazy week. If you haven't seen my website I made, check it out at www.coxdesign.webs.com. It shows a lot of my work, templates I make and sell, and a blog. It's not a spectacular website, but atleast it shows my work and gets me business.

Well...maybe the weekend will bring better days than this week...

Father's Day

Caitlyn drew daddy a card and went and grabbed her smiley face balloon to give to him as if that was her personal gift to him : ) It was cute. Father's Day was such a draggy day for us. Came home from church and went straight to bed...for pretty much the rest of the evening. Gosh we were tired. I even forgot to call my parents, what a bad daughter I am. I thought my forgetfulness was getting better...apparently not. NO I'm not pregnant again.

New Website

So I'm trying to get a website started for my graphic design work. It's not the best thing in the world, but at least it displays my work and offers it to the public. Let me know what you guys think...and sign my guestbook.

Chiropractor - Part 2

So I can't believe it worked. No wonder they get paid so much money. I woke up this morning and jumped right out of bed. I couldn't believe it. I thought surely it'd still hurt for a couple days while it was getting better, but no, it totally fixed it. That's so cool!! Guess I'll just have to start watching what I do now that I'm apparently getting old...er, so I don't hurt myself.

So this weekend I'm singing at a funeral for a friend we used to go to church with. I'm singing Part the Waters/I Need Thee by Selah. Very pretty song. Hopefully Shawn will be finished making my soundtrack by the time I get home from work. We found this program where you can insert songs and take the lead vocals out to make your own soundtrack, and you can also insert a song and change the key to whatever key you want. Totally awesome FREE program. But he's actually recording a custom soundtrack for me, then going to go in and lower the key for me : ) After the funeral, we're going to go to some part of Lake Russell with Chris and Nikki and go swimming, FINALLY! I've been dying to go swimming here lately. Maybe its cause I've driven the Honda to work lately which has no air condition, so by the time I get home in this 90 degree weather, I'm sweating to death. It's a shame Lake Hartwell is so nasty, or I'd just walk down the hill and jump in. Why we chose to live on Lake Hartwell, I don't know. Without having a boat, its pretty useless. Working on the boat thing...

Chiropractor

So I went to the chiropractor today at the gym. Lately, I can't lay on my back or my stomach for longer than 30 minutes including when I go to bed at night, or I will not be able to move. My lower back feels like its turned into concrete. I feel like an old woman trying to get out of bed, moving inch by inch. So the doctor dude lays me on that little table thing and looks at me, feels around on my back, plays with my feet, and pops my back in several places (gosh I forgot how tense that is). Then he's like, have you ever gotten this done before, and I'm like yeah yeah, but its been a long time. All of a sudden, he raises the table under my pelvis. And I'm like, okay, whatever. Bam!! That table jumped!! Scared me half to death! Now I ain't ever had that done. It was something to do with popping or straightening my lower lower back, like my butt. Anyhow, he said I was pretty out of wack. But he said it should fix it; just to take it easy the rest of the day. Maybe I'll sleep good tonight.

Last Night

Here's a video of one of the songs we did in downtown Athens last night. We had a lot of fun! It's always a blessing to be able to feed homeless people and minister to them.

Playing in Athens tonight

So RPM will be playing in Athens tonight, Tent City, for a big homeless shelter thing. It's called Walk on Water Ministries I think, and they feed over 150 homeless people twice a week. They bring in bands or praise teams and people to speak before feeding them. Sounds pretty cool. We've got a cool line up; its gonna be awesome. So if your anywhere around Athens tonight, come see us. It's somewhere downtown Athens, back past the Classic Center going away from the UGA campus. We'll be on the street playing so you won't miss us I'm sure : ) Starts at 6:30 p.m. I'm taking my camera/video so I'm sure I'll be posting something soon.
