Random Thoughts

So mom sent me pictures of her area and I've seen some of the damage from the flooding. That is crazy stuff!! I can't imagine. I'd be freakin out if it were ankle deep outside my house. I'd be evacuating quick! Haulin butt outta there, lol. I's worried about mom cause she was at home alone last night and Atlanta was expecting more rain and the picture of her yard looked awful. But I spoke to her today and she's still alive, so I guess everything is fine.

This Saturday, RPM has an event in Atlanta down by the stadium in downtown. Pretty excited about that. We get the stage for almost an hour. Gonna be fun! Anyone who loves to worship and will be around at 4pm, you should drop by Adamsville Recreation Center, 3201 Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Doors open at 3:30pm.

My hubby is cooking pot roast tonight with potatoes, fried green beans, and cornbread. Mmmm....my tastebuds are so ready. 45 more minutes before I can leave work.

Chris and Nikki got their house. They are closing on October 12th. Its a really nice house, even though its further away from us. But we can take a certian highway straight to their house instead of going through all these backroads like we have to now. I told them we'd be over there every weekend to stay so I can use her jacuzzi tub...ahhh, I can't wait to get one of those. We're thinking about doing a major remodel of our master bath and walk-in closet come tax return time. The remodel includes adding a jacuzzi tub, YAY!!! I think I'll be in heaven then, LOL

Have I mentioned that I'm ready to go home?? Well.....I'M READY TO GO HOME!!!!!!!

New Items

So we've really been wanting to finish our basement really bad. We like using it for band practices and stuff because of all the room, and we'll probably incorporate a large den/play area down that could still be used for a practice area, but we would really like it to be living space as well. So! Yesterday, a lady offered on freecycle some carpet, 11x11 ivory colored plush carpet. It's 6 years old and they bought it at Home Depot. She said it was hardly used. That is was in their dining room area but they never used their dining room for eating. They recently decided they wanted to start using their dining room for eating, so she wanted to put down hardwood. So they pulled the carpet up and the cushion part, and I got it!! We brought it in the basement last night, and it looks like its going to cover at least 1/3 of the basement. I think its larger than 11x11. Its huge! And really nice. I can't believe she was giving it away. But of course we went and picked it up at her house and she lives in a very prestigious neighborhood, so she was starving to sell it to make money.

So after picking that up, we met up with a guy and got two bathroom vanity light sets. We're gonna paint them a silver or black color. They're really nice, once they get painted. But I'm gonna keep my eye out. Hopefully, I'll rack up on some other things to finish the basement. It'd be awesome to get it all done for free, lol

Marketing Packets

So I finished my marketing packets today. I've made little packets that include my business card, a Print Quality Sample (a postcard that I had printed from the print company I use to show the quality of paper/print), a sheet introducing myself along with some reviews from several customers, and the last sheet gives pricing for the most popular business printing needs.























I'm hoping to pass these out to several companies, and hopefully they'll see how much they could save on printing, while getting custom design for not much more than what they're paying just for print. It's amazing what some people will pay for sucky print service, while at the same time not being interested in looking at other options. A lot of times, it falls on convenience, its just convenient to take their needs down to the local print shop. But I'm hoping to open some eyes with these packets.

If you know anyone who you think may be interested or who may benefit from better quality printing/design, tell them to check out www.coxdesign.webs.com.

Vacation

I think I need a vacation. I am very exhausted. I'd love to get away for a week to somewhere like the beach or even the mountains to a nice cabin. I need some get-away time right now. Anyway, really random thoughts here, every time we come to Greenville, when Shawn drops me off at work, Caitlyn cries, no mama no, no mama no!!...as we approach my company's street. Breaks my heart to pieces. I'm going to eventually go back to being a stay-at-home mom, maybe starting my own business, I mean just continuing more heavily what I've already started. I enjoy working in the work field, but I miss my baby too much. And she will eventually be going to pre-school and I want to be able to pick her up from school and go to her little class things and events, games. Yes, I think I want to be a soccer mom for a living, lol. Anyway, I know that's a ways away, but as I'm told, it sneaks up on you before you know it.

Thank God we have a 3-day weekend this weekend. I'm gonna rest, maybe do some resting, and probably rest some more, lol. Maybe we'll actually get to hang out with our friends for the first time in like, forever! We used to hang out every weekend, but lately one or the other has had something else to do. Anyway, its almost time to go home and I'm about to fall asleep. I gotta go walk around or something.
