{a little me time + a shout out}

Last night I did something particularly interesting. Actually, the night before I did something particularly interesting as well. Are you interested in knowing? hah!

Sunday night I shaved Zack's head. He wanted it... I couldn't quite say no. Then he decided he wanted a little mohawk. Again, I couldn't say no.

MY HUSBAND HAS A MOHAWK! <3

Then, Monday night I met up with a friend. A new friend. A friend that lives in Minnesota. You see, when Zack and I moved here we knew 3 adults and 2 children. Hoo-rah. Now we know maybe 20 adults, but still just 2 children :)

{Oh my word. And tonight I'm meeting with another new friend, M. Yeow!}

It is so unlike me to come home from my day job and do something different from cooking dinner, sewing, blogging, watching some TV, and then crashing around midnight.

Guess what?

It was amazing.

My friend H. sells jewelry. I sell Gussys. We had a great time talking biz. Oh yes, we talked biz-ness. Fun biz talk, like the possibility of Gussy at Minnesota craft shows this summer. I'm excited to do some research.

As I talked with H. last night about how Gussy started, and how I haven't really stopped to fully comprehend what or where Gussy is, I realized I don't take enough time for me. So going out was a really, really nice treat :)


OK, I must go now...
But not before I show a little eye candy:

I have some super mega fun blog sponsors. I heart them lots and really enjoy having their button on my blog! I mean, just look what what they have to offer...
