I have been so negligent of my family here on the boards but I hope you'll all forgive me as I try to find more time to check in!

Life has taken a crazy turn for me! It's all good but it has definitely taken a toll on my free time, especially during the holidays.

First of all, I've been taking a lot of classes, only 1 more class to finish my degree! Second, I started a business making soy candles, tarts, and incense among other things, WOO HOO! I opened a booth in a shopping center and have been building my website as well. The holiday season was great but I was a bit overwhelmed at the response to my products. I'm definitely not complaining though.

Then my son is playing high school basketball and they have 2-3 games a week all over the county so I sometimes have to travel over an hour to get to his game. I don't mind though because it is very important to me to support my children to the fullest. But it is exhausting in the best way!

Needless to say my once neat home has been turned upside down and I spend most of my free time either making products, filling orders, or trying to restore order in my home. Honestly, I haven't been to BBW or VS since the last sale. Not like I don't have enough stuff to tide me over and I'm enjoying it all. I vowed to try and use up some product instead of constantly buying more. So far, I've had excellent willpower.

I could go on but you get the idea! I will try to check in more often but please pardon any lapses, it is definitely not because I don't think of my old friends here all the time!

Loveyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

It's so nice to see you again.
Wow, you have been really busy!!
I am so happy you've started your own business because your tarts are the best!!!
I have been burning them sparingly, and always think of you when I do. I am a little upset with you though, because I wanted to be your first customer!
You'll have to give me your info so I can place an order soon.
The best of luck with everything you do.
And congrats in advance on that degree, what an accomplishment.

Thanks everyone for the warm well wishes. They are much appreciated! Even if I can't post often, I do pop in to browse posts when I can. At work, I can't get on the internet until I get a new laptop. My old one just can't seem to hold the signal.

Fryl, don't be angry with me. Since I haven't officially launched the website yet, you can still be one of the first!

Fryl, Megan, Janelle, Gizmo, I'll be PMing you.

Hi Lovey!

Welcome back, you've been missed on the forum!

Congratulations on starting your own business!

What are you getting a degree in?

My degree is in Computer Studies and Psychology. I am actually thinking of a double major as Psychology is my minor. I know, I'm just a glutton for punishment but I'm really enjoying my Psyc classes.
