I must say, I love GOOGLE. They have done so much for the Internet and our world, that I just love everything they do. So I am here to spread the word about one of their free services I just stumbled over.
GOOGLE HEALTH!
It's fantastic! It allows you to keep track of everything medical in a very easy way. It's almost fun to do. Eventually, I think it will be easy for doctors to see you medical history through this so you don't have to fill out 800 papers about your medical history. Check it out and keep track, because we tend to forget the negative things that happened in the past. Keep good records! Also, if you're computer ever crashes or your house burns down, at least GOOGLE will still have your medical history.

National Stationery Show
Emma J Cards, my greeting card company, will officially be in the 2009 National Stationery Show at Javits Convention Center in New York City. It runs May 17-20 and is open only to wholesalers (stores and companies that sell cards, stationery, paper goods and the press). I am super excited, but I have a crap load of work to do before it. I not only have to have a really great product line ready, but I have to market my biz beforehand. Send out postcards to a million companies, design and produce a gorgeous booth, make business cards for up to 15,000 BUYERS, make press kits, press releases, and a million other little things. Very scary, but it could be a HUGE start for my business in the wholesale market. Hopefully by the end of 2009, I will be in stores across country. Many small card companies, just like me, run by one or two people, have done the exact same thing, so we'll see.
I will keep you updated on my dealings with the National Stationery Show!!!!
BOOTH 1550! Yippey!

My sister, Andrea, sent this card to me for my Birthday and it was just so beautiful that I had to find it online and then post a picture. It's letter-pressed and printed on this amazing, thick bright green paper. SO cute.

talking
Today I was in line at Starbucks, waiting patiently like I have been a lot lately. They seem to be getting slower and slower every darn day. It's such a process now to get a simple cup of coffee. Anyway, there was a girl behind me who looked more like a model than I have ever seen. Tall, long hair, gorgeous, dressed hip (but not too hip), gorgeous skin, and everything else you would think makes up a NYC model. Anyway, something came over me and I said "Are you a model?" I usually don't talk to people or just blurt out questions, but I felt like I knew she was and I just had to ask. So, then, she just stared at me with the worst look ever and simply replied..."no" and that was it. No "Oh, don't worry about it," no polite laugh, nothing. Just "no." I was stunned and embarrassed. I offended her. I really did, but I can't imagine how. She didn't even say another word or look my way anything. She was so bothered my comment. I would be in heaven if someone mistook me for a model. I was so thrown off for about 20 minutes and decided that I will never assume ever again.

website
I think this website is brilliant.
It will notify any one you choose (say your boyfriend, husband, sibling) when you are PMS-ing, so they will stay out of the way!!!!!!!
photogs
My sister, Elizabeth, has started her own photograpghy company and her photos are truly beautiful. She specializes in children and nature photography, but can do anything. Her website is currently being updated, but you can check out her stuff by clicking here.
Here are some photos she recently shot for me of my cards. I think they turned out beautiful!

movie
I saw the movie VICKY CHRISTINA BARCELONA (with Penelope Cruz, Scarlett Johansson and Javier Bardem) this past weekend and really loved it. It takes you to this place where you just want to run off to a foreign country for a few months. So fun and a little naughty. Great movie.
listing
I love to make lists. I really do. There is something to be said about checking things off and seeing things right in order - one thing after the other. I think I get this habit from my Mom, who makes LISTS of her LISTS. No, seriously...she does. I think I have a list for everything- to do, not to do, to do in my life time, to do this year, to buy, to give away, to order, to mail, to email, to make, to cook, to cook in my lifetime, to drink, to invite, etc. I love a good, old-fashioned list!
Anyway, here is today's list...
WHAT I DID ON MY 26TH BIRTHDAY: SEPT 12, 2008
1. Got a Patagonia Fleece jacket from Josh that I have always wanted
2. Got an incredible Birthday COOKIE/M & M cake
3. Got a gift certificate for a mani/pedi
4. Went to a great lunch, with two great people and had Three Cheese Mac N Cheese
5. Did errands in the rain

8. Went to dinner with another couple at JOHNNY UTAHS.
9. Rode on a mechanical bull at Johnny Utah's.
10. Ate a really great bacon cheeseburger.
11. Passed out on the couch before midnight.

olympic fun
The Beijing Olympics, I think, have been a huge success. I don't remember ever being so interested in the Olympics (accept for the Women's Gymnastics team in Atlanta in '96). Michael Phelps, the basketball, the soccer, the gymnastics. All of it was so compelling this time around.
I did and still do have a major issue with the Chinese Women's Gymnastics. There is a rule that you HAVE to be 16 to compete in the Olympics and 75% of their team were under 16. IO just don;t understand how the Olympic Committee can let that slide. Younger gymnasts have a huge advantage over older gymnasts. They are less nervous and have less to prove. I was very upset with that. Gymnastics is almost tainted by that. Anyway, I thought the U.S. girls, especially Nastia Luikin and Shawn Johnson were phenomenal. They surely came out on top.
Anyway, USA has done great, as expected. It made for a great summer too!

dinner tonight
What am I cooking for dinner tonight, you ask?
Tonight I am making steak tacos (not steak fajitas) with rice and black beans. I cannot wait. My mouth is watering. I am really a chicken person when it comes to anything Mexican, but I am so excited to try steak tonight. Just thought I'd share. What sounds even more yummy is that I am topping my tacos off with freshly shaved pepper jack cheese. Yummmmmm....
