Garth is working what he calls “mids” the next week or so. It’s 7pm to 7am. This means that I spend my evenings in the house alone. This means that making cupcakes until 2 am actually happens. Tonight I made 7. I learned that thin, treeesque molded chocolate will not stand up to the humidity and radiant warmth of the south. So, I actually have just 4 cupcakes to show you. I entered them into martha stewart’s cutest cupcake contest, but I know that my idea of cute is not the same as everybody else’s (who wants wire in their cupcakes?!).

In other news, I am finally no longer contemplating opening an etsy shop. I will be doing it. I would have already done it had I not been having a ridiculously intense time coming up with a name. I already have elle industries saved, but think that it sounds so blah. What does it really say? I like school of elle…because I am all about learning, and I’m a teacher, and it just seems like a richer and more unique name. Garth likes the former better, I like the latter. Also, we both like hello today as a sort of statement, and it’s catchy. So- votes anyone? I would really love to hear an opinion from you, my trusty loved ones…what do you like better?

school of elle
hello today

you know I love you all. It’s sleepytime for me. (hey, would sleepy time be a good etsy store name?)

hugs and kisses, and enjoy conference weekend!!!!

xoxo
