Can I just sleep through tomorrow, please?

Normally I'm good with being busy, but I've been dreading tomorrow for about a week. I think it's the heat...it's just TOO hot for anything besides lying on the couch watching Law & Order reruns. I normally love heat; but this is that icky, swimming, muggy, sweaty heat. It's just gross and seems to put everyone, not just me, in at least a little of a foul mood.
Butters has a doctor's appointment at Children's at 10:30 - which, of course, lands smack dab in what would normally be the middle of his nap. In addition to that, they are checking his heart as it seemed to be a little enlarged on an earlier x-ray taken during an issue we had a few months back. So stressful it will be, both emotionally and physically. Probably not the best day for me to have piled on more stuff.
Then I have some IRS paperwork to sign, and then off to a PR meeting, and then rush back to a web meeting. All of that before 7. And, I have a stack of business insurance paperwork calling my name that I keep starting but easily get sidetracked from because it just isn't fun or interesting in any way.
So I should be in bed, right? Right.

Emotions and Such

Yesterday was a HUGE day for us (or me, anyways). When I say us, I guess I refer to myself and all of my seamstresses - everyone involved in butters&beans. It was very emotional for me. First, I had my first meeting with Nancy at Liz J. Designs to start the website at none other than my favorite place - Starbucks. We discussed the layout of the site, other sites I liked, other sites I didn't like, and how I wanted to push traffic to the site. Then, my accountant. I actually ended up liking him quite a bit. He set up the paperwork for the S-Corp (I still can't believe I'm the majority shareholder of a corporation) and then I had to bring it over to the Secretary of State's office to move the process along quickly so I could open my bank accounts which I plan on doing today. By the time we got back, I had some family errands to run, some eBay stuff to take care of, and then off to a meeting with Rose McKinney PR. LOVE them. Met with Eva Keiser who I was impressed with and liked quite a bit. I think they could do an amazing job with buttersandbeans PR, but I'm curious to see what they come back with for a quote. I have to be sooooo careful with every dollar that I spend right now. I meet with another company tonight and have a TON of errands to run today.
Jax was up almost all night last night and had a really hard time sleeping (both of us, obviously). If I ever needed a good night's sleep, last night was the night.

Fabrics for Fall 2010...

I've chosen my fabrics! I am so excited...I wish I could share them but they have to remain hush-hush for now. Maybe after we have our photography done I will share a couple samples. It is absolutely amazing. Beautiful patterns and ultra-soft velours and fleeces. Maybe even some sateen thrown in for good texture measure. :)
PR is so interesting. I haven't picked an agency yet, but meet with three next week.
Also working closely with my sewing team, and impressed with their creativity and dedication...loving this.
