bijou kaleidoscope: January 2005

Monday, 31 January 2005

I have started the ship in action!! I'm so excited about this. Things seem to be moving fast, but with an energy all on its own. I am so blessed by God's perfect timing. My first *paid* job, they love love love it!

I have got my trading name as well and it's such a great one, thanks to Simone Robertson, my manager! I can't release it because I need to get it registered on www and register the name prior to releasing it out but will let you know ASAP. I got invoices done, brochure's almost completed.

Now I'm praying for more clients. Lord, let the gates of heaven open... let your favour rest on this fledging business... Amen.

calf muscles can cause alot of pain. trust me.

got up yesterday morning at 4am to wee. fell out of bed because my leg decided not to be friendly anymore. instead it sent out SHARP! pain fingers.

got an ultrasound ordered by my family doctor, bless her old heart... she was scared that i had a blood clot (dvt). so after the 3 hour wait and ordeal, i found out i had "acute venous thrombosis". i freaked out, andrew freaked out.

then went home shaking to open the results to find that "acute venous thrombosis" was a label given to the test and i was normal.

so i just have a muscle tear. (i prefer that...)

AudreyEverywhere.com

wow... there's a website trying to hack into me!

Subscribe at US$14 per annum my new publication: the Audrey Magazine. I have spent so much time to create the premier Asian American women's magazine, by keeping informed of the latest trends in lifestyle, beauty, high fashion, health and more.

Here's my fansite!

Am thinking of a trading name for my design company. At the moment it's anything + audrey :P Andrew thinks "Audrey"'s a classic name, so we can use it despite perhaps my daughter L.G. Coggins taking over my conglomorate in a few years' time. Any ideas to naming my design company, please contribute! Thanks in advance!

best figurines!

Precious Moments, move out of the way. I"ve to make space for my new ornament collection: the Circle of Love figurines!

Bought one for my sister in law's wedding cake topper (hope to scab it off them when they see the size and weight of it!) and fell in love.

Sensual, pure, innocent, intimate... *sigh* I want this one now!

iPod shuffle

read why my husband called me all in a tizzy, like a schoolboy been given candy for the first time in months!

and then read what we're looking to get for someone!

update.

update on previous blog: they are going to axe my job because apparently companies don't "need graphic designers" which is utter bollocks. (i work my ass off without lunch hours to get these design jobs done!)

so. they can't make me redundant because no word yet... and i don't have work because marketing budget's been frozen.

so i'm in limbo. every prayer appreciated.

and it's NOT Mama Drey.

Business is formed!
