The wedding we were supposed to go to tomorrow was called off, but we’re heading to West Virginia to visit Beau’s friends this weekend anyway. So I’m working a half day here at home and then we’re loading up the car and heading out in order to beat the bad weather (there’s supposed to be a wintry mix in the lowlands, but his friends live on a mountain) and dark. It’s a short visit - we’ll head back home tomorrow evening.

My parents get back from London this afternoon. I’m looking forward to hearing all about their vacation.

My new shop is up and ready to go - BeadWire.etsy.com. I have my new logo/branding and everything. I love the new logo a lot. Now I just need a bit of dough so that I can buy new business cards and product tags to switch out the old. Most of my inventory is still in the old shop, but I’ll slowly be moving things over for the next few weeks.

Then it’s time to work on taxes. Fortunately, I managed to keep up with the accounting each month, so it won’t be a marathon like it was last year. I’ll be curious to see what the bottom line is from this year, especially since I basically took the summer off from the business all together - no sales and no new inventory in that time. I think I’ll end up in the black, but you never know until the numbers are all crunched.

Speaking of crunched - that’s the word that put me over the top in points to beat Beau in Scrabble on New Year’s Eve. We were playing with 9 tiles to speed up the game, so I didn’t get the bingo bonus points. But that word netted me 51 points. I actually ended up with the Q, X, and Z as well, which helped with the points.
