Chuckie's Birthday

It's my brother's 28th birthday! As is tradition in my family, the 2 non-birthday siblings (my sister and I) called birthday sibling (my brother) as soon as we woke up and sang "You're the birthday, you're the birthday, you're the birthday boy or girl" from the Simpsons. Anyways, he'll be here next week and he has all kinds of Chicagoan activities planned. Can't wait!
In other exciting "me-related" news, I have decided to go into bridal design! I thought for sure I was going to do women's contemporary, in the style of Marc Jacobs (ugh), Love by Ya-Ya, Ingwa;Melero, etc. But I think that particular market is saturated and though I feel I could make innovative strides, it would take too long to break in to that particular niche. Though I've always loved Monique Lhuillier, Reem Acra, Lazaro, and Pnina Tornai, I never thought in a million years that I would be good enough to do what they do. But why not? I have the drive, I have the talent, by May '09 I'll have the skills, and I can only get better with time and experience. So I'm going to go for it. That is all.

Actually, I posted this, realized I forgot to format it, came back to change the font and font color, and had a thought: If I named my design company "Loose Stools", would you buy a wedding gown from me?
