New Year

So it's 2011! I turned 27 on Wednesday. It's been about a month since I blogged. I took December off. It's VERY slow at my day job(s) so theoretically I should have more time to work on Caravan stuff, but I also need money for that. And with work slow and sending me home early... money is in short supply. Especially since (once again) as soon as I had a bit of money saved up, something went wrong with my car, in this case I had to have the back tires replaced. I also have to have some work done on the rims so my freaking tires quit going flat! Which will be another $200 that should be going towards my computer. I'm a little closer to saving up for a computer though, thanks to some gift cards I got for Christmas. We'll get through it though.

I am happy to announce that I finally have a logo designed for the company that my mom wants to start! She had this idea for a family business (because we're all really tired of working for a-holes). The idea, is sauces. Really. See, our refrigerator is filled with condiments, and sauces, and dressings. We just have a crap-load of them. And we actually use them. My dad and brother are the cooks in the family, and find all kinds of uses for this stuff. My mom's idea was that we make a line of our own sauces! I'll talk more about it once we get it going, but basically we were really having trouble coming up with a name. Saucy, Saucalicious, Sir-Sauce-Alot (this one was taken!) My idea was Awesome Sauce, but no one else like it as much as I did (though there was a joke made about how our slogan could be "You've been SAUCED!"). Then during a very strange conversation that started with how Jesus was coming again soon, we discovered it! And when you see it, the conversation will seem even stranger.

Anyway, back to Caravan news: I hoping that sometime this month I'll have the facial lotions up. My first perfume will have to be pushed back a bit. And I'm changing the lip balm formula. Again. I'm adding some shea butter to, to make it creamier, less greasy. Keep watching for updates on that.

Also, anyone on The Nerd Machine forums? I just joined and am totally diggin' it! I also ordered a NERD shirt to, will post pics!

Latest Victory (and New Years Resolutions): So when I moved back home in August, my vegan diet went out the window. I've gained back 30 of the almost 65 lbs I had lost. But the last week I have been going back to my vegan food, and have been making MUCH better choices. I pulled out my list of vegan recipes, and will be doing some serious grocery shopping. Wish me luck, and I hope everyone has a great year!
