I've been so busy lately, that I've been a little sporadic in my blogging. I've been trying to keep up with work, which has been insane.
I've also been busy with school. Since we're a few weeks into the semester now, exam season has begun. I'm also rushing a fraternity (it's co-ed, so it's called a fraternity), Phi Chi Theta. I had my rush interview on Monday, so now I'm just waiting for my phone call. If they want me, our pledge ceremony will be this Monday.
We've been ramping up for the holiday season in our candle shoppe, too. We've already started to get busy, and we're branching out to new products. Don't forget to check us out at SJ Candle Shoppe. We'll be adding new fragrances from now until Christmas. We've also changed the containers to something a little nicer, so the candles have a new look. Also, we're going to be adding tarts to the lineup soon. I hope to have some up by the beginning of next week.
So that's what's going on with us right now. Enough to keep me busy, but not enough to make me crazy - yet!

About Me
- Sarah*Jane
- What is a PRG?? PRG is something someone started calling me long ago - almost in another lifetime. It stands for "Puerto Rican Goddess." Most days lately, I just feel like a Pretty Regular Girl. So this blog will journal my days as a PRG. Some days that will mean my adventures as a Puerto Rican Goddess; other days I'll just be a Pretty Regular Girl. I hope you can find entertainment in both.

Test #1
Tonight I had my first exam in my Statistics class. It wasn't really that hard, and I was happy that I knew all of the formulas.
When I got home tonight, Jay and I made some more candles. I am still working on getting them all listed. It is just so tedious to type out the description! I mean, I want people to want to buy our stuff, and I know it takes effort on our part. I am just so tired by the time everything gets made that there's no energy left to post!
Fortunately, I will have some "quiet time" tomorrow. Jay is closing, and I don't have any homework that needs immediate attention. I will have at least a few items up in each shop by the end of the day tomorrow. That's my goal.
It's going to be a lot of work, so I should get some rest. Good night!

Good Day
Today was a busy day. I met with my Stampin Up! demo today. She is really great, and SUPER talented! I spent over two hours at her house, playing with her stuff and checking out the new catalog.
Tonight, my sister and I took the kids to the Rangers baseball game. Jay came along with us, and got a little taste of what we do every Saturday. He was exhausted by the end of the night!! I made sure he understood why I come home tired every Saturday night. We're pretty high maintenance, and it's always an ordeal to take two young kids anywhere.
So that was my day today. Tomorrow, Jay and I are working on a few Christmas projects and trying to finish up the guest bath. I can't wait to post pics when it's finished!

More Progress
Well, we made several more batches of candles tonight. I got a couple of orders from work, so we were working on those. Then, we made more to list in our Etsy shops.
Tomorrow we are going to a baseball game with my sister and the kids, then Sunday we will start on the Christmas craft projects. I am going to meet with my Stampin Up! demo tomorrow, hopefully, so I should have some new goodies in the next several days.
Keep checking our Etsy shops for more updates!

We're Up and Running!
I have officially listed my first item on Etsy. Technically, it's my husband's first listing. He insisted on opening his own shop, because he didn't like the name I chose for mine. So I decided we would list the items on both sites and see who gets the most sales!
Here's a link to Jay's shop: http://www.sjcandleshoppe.etsy.com/
Mine is here: http://www.cupcaketoujours.etsy.com/, although I haven't listed my items yet. I was so busy helping him, that I didn't get a chance to do my own! I will have my site up and running by tomorrow night, though. Be sure to check back for more exciting items!

Another Chaotic Day
Today was another crazy day at work. The market closed down another 449 points, so we've been really busy.
On a high note, I got to see my babies tonight! My sister asked me to come over tonight, and I got to spend time with her and the kids. My niece is such a good helper. She is really growing up and loved her little brother very much. My nephew is growing by leaps and bounds, too! He's just a little more than three months old, but already so big.
My sister and I like to do crafty things together, when we get a chance. I plan to post a couple of projects we're working on, but I'll have to do that over the weekend. I have homework to catch up on, and I'm getting sleepy.

Happy Birthday to Me!!
So today is my last birthday in my twenties. I turned 29 today. It was a really good day. Jay and I went to the candle supply store and bought a bunch of supplies. Then we came home and made several batches of candles for our etsy shop.
Tonight, we went out to dinner at Texas de Brazil. We shared a great bottle of wine, but I drank most of it! As a result, I am really tired and am ready for bed. I promise to update more tomorrow. For now, suffice it to say it was a really good birthday.
