Progress Report 12 & 13

So the days seem to be getting away from me and I'm getting a bit inconsistent with my progress reports. However, after looking back on my last list, I've managed to do pretty well. I not only finished the clients marketing materials, but delivered them today. I am also mid process on another logo job and Bobbi's Build an Ear hired me for another project, which I sent out for printing tonight. I have completed two jobs with my vinyl cutter as well; commercial lettering for a pickup and a simple sign for the local rifle range. I also got my ad designed and placed in the Swap Buy Sell Guide for two weeks. I've gotten a couple of bites, but no takers yet. I am hoping that next week will see a better return as it is getting closer to the start of the season in May.

I have transferred a good portion of my files to my new computer and am almost done with the QuickBooks set up. It is far enough along that I am using it easily. I love QuickBooks Pro 2010. It is very user friendly and will make next year's taxes a lot easier. I've been able to talk to my accountant a couple of times for pointers. He's been great. I finally took my test this week; got a 97. I'm not complaining as this has been a terrible long section. The next half of the class is at least as long. Yuck. To shake it up a little I have jumped ahead into my Illustrator CS4 class. The first chapter is very basic and all review for me, as I have been using Illustrator in some form for about 10 years, but there are a lot of great new things in CS4 that I am really looking forward to getting into.

Arianna has made the tennis team, which means lots of after school practices. I'm hoping that work keeps coming in like it has. It's a great feeling.

1. Parents' night tomorrow at PIHS
2. Complete logo
3. Finish QB update
4. Update DbR website (long overdue)
5. BAND header if Eric hasn't given up on me. :-)

I think that is enough, as it is already Wednesday night. Life is good.
