Potties and Jobs and Blueberries, Oh My!
Big news in these parts!
First, we are knee-deep in Potty Training. The Bug is doing really, really well. We're even leaving the house in "big girl underpants" many days. I'd say we're at about 75% success in underpants, though still in a diaper for nap and bedtime. I am just so looking forward to not buying diapers anymore.
Second, it's official. I'm going back to Working Stiff. I got a decent offer with a small, flexible, family-friendly printing company in town. I'm starting out part-time next week, with the promise that I'll be brought up to full time status within about 2 months time. It's going to be pretty busy; I'll be wearing a lot of hats because it's a small business (though my official title will be Graphic Designer). But, I like that I can kind of transition in and that I can pretty freely come and go as long as the work is getting done. Adam doesn't teach during the month of August, so the plan is that he'll stay home with the Bug on the days I work. I like the idea of her getting used to me being gone all day first, then we can transition her into daycare. She's excited about "going to school," and I feel pretty good about the program we're putting her into.
I'm not sure yet what the future of Studio Virgo is; I will still be able to take freelance on a limited basis, depending upon the type of client/project. If it becomes clear that I can no longer do design work under the Studio Virgo banner, I will probably just shift the focus and still keep the name for my selling on etsy and any other fine art ventures.
So, lots going on here, but all good. Oh, and as for the blueberry thing... well, we just have an awful lot of them right now, between going picking and getting 2 buckets through our local CSA. I made blueberry vinaigrette to put on our salad tonight (YUMMY!) and Adam asked if everything was going to have blueberry in it for a while. Yup.
