As some of you may know i am starting a new job today. After 3 + years of working for my former employer, Kay Lang + Associates (kaylangassocs.com) i decided that it was time for me to get a new perspective on what i do for a living. I was very fortunate that Kay and her team took a chance in hiring me and teaching me all the new things i know today; and to that i am so thankful for.
I have selected Kirk Nix and Associates (KNAdesign.com) as my new employer. In a time of scarcity i felt very honored to be given this opportunity to be part of an amazing team of designers! So for all my vendors that have been with me; who i hold in the highest regard i thank you so much for all the help, education and friendship you have given to me and i look forward to new business opportunities ahead!

Out Sick Today
I have been fighting this cold for about a week now. Today is the day that i have to see a doctor (yay!) So we will se what i get out of it... Maybe a nifty anti-biotic! So i do have a life lesson that l went through last night... I had an earache and had to find a way to get me through the night without going to the emergency room. So out came the research! I found 2 things that really worked well:
1. This one is weird but it helps a lot. Take a clean sock and fill it up with salt (i used coarse sea salt) and throw it into the microwave (no more than 30 seconds at a time, trust me) and place it up to your ear. I lied on my side and waited for it to cool down. Repeat till you start to hear a gurgling sound in your ear. This helps to dry out the ear canal and the heat helps with the ache.
2. Use "Similasan Earache Relief" homeopathic drops. Art was so nice to go out and get me some ear drops. I had an idea of what i wanted but since Whole Foods is far i sent him to the local drugstore. He came back with exactly what i would of gotten from Whole Foods (See thats why i am marrying him!). They are really good, they will feel weird and may sting a little but in an hour or so... RELIEF.
I am still going to the doctor to follow up so we will see what happens!
Nifty Spiffy Look...
So a co-worker friend of mine showed me this outfit from Banana Republic and mentioned that it is so me. What do you think? I think i will try this one on with Meghan when we see each other on Saturday!Items Shown:

New Glasses
I finally ditched my frame-less glasses and bought a new pair of plastic lenses. We went to Positive Eye Ons on Melrose and had a wonderful guy help us choose the right frames. After about an hour both myself and Art Found our new glasses. Art opted for a really nice 2-tone frame that look amazing on him. I opted for a pair of glasses form England, Hand made with a great gray colored frame and a nice reverse.
The first post.
