And Then It’s 24

For the first time in my life I did not anticipate my birthday, to be honest I kept forgetting it was around the corner. It was not because I feared getting older, that I welcome, it was just that so much was going on. I was working a new job, I was preparing to go to Miami, we were looking for a new apartment, and I had so much to be happy for in my life there was no longing to have a day where I would be the ceneter and focus of everyone’s attention.

When my birthday hit I was awake at midnight working on Bethéa Indigo and the messages began to flood in. at 12:03 my phone rang and it was Jayie to wish me a happy birthday, he was on a streak of being the first to wish all his friends a happy birthday.

MeTo was more excited about my birthday than I was which makes since, as I am usually more excited about his than he is.  I was tired so I went to bed and when I woke up I was surprised with a bubble bath and then breakfast and roses.  If had did nothing else for me all day I would have still been the happiest man in the world.

Later as we got dressed to go apartment hunting MeTo and our roommate came in with a gift.  I knew what it was once I heard it was from both of them but I managed to look surprised and thrilled.  It was a basket full of dark Ghirardelli chocolate and some kind of coffee. I was happy to have plain coffee.  All the coffee we on hand was flavored and I was sick of it.

Later that night MeTo took me out to SoHo one of the upscale restaurants in  New Brunswick. It was amazing we did our best to observe the rules of Passover. The food was great and the company even better.  We took our time eating then went to Dunkin Donuts for coffee. With it being passive it meant no donuts and after just having meat we could not have milk in out coffee.  One look at the time and we had to make haste.  I had an early morning and it was getting late.

I wanted nothing more than to show MeTo my appreciation the way people in love typically do but I was tired. We cuddled and before I knew it I was having the rid of my life.  A 30min birthday present for the both of us.

Bethea Indigo Here We Go.

So I had taken a break from blogging to deal with life. One of the main things I had planned on dealing with was launching a new VixcB.com, but much to my dismay it was not as easy as I had hoped. I had designed the sight to my liking, but when I went to add the blogging structure, things got hairy.

I had given myself until my birthday to have this finished and while life prevented me from working as diligently as I should have, what I had I was ready to launch. I figured since I had my mind set on the layout and that it was finished with the exception of the back end stuff, I would simply upload and tweak from there, but as the back was the most important I had no choice but to put it on hold.

I then came up with a great idea to get some promo stuff for VixcB.com it was quite exciting picking out magnets and cards with a catchy design and just the right information to make inquiring minds visit my site. In all of this I found another problem. Bethea Indigo had no logo and for that matter nothing had a logo. So I set out to find a logo for everything. Many hours in photo shop and word with all my many fonts and eureka I was on the right path but it took a whole day before I was happy with the first logo.

I decided that word press was my best bet for my blogging setup so I found a few blog layouts that I could easily manipulate and began to work from there.

It is quite fascinating what I have learned and accomplished in the past few week when it comes to blogging. I hope to have it all done soon but in the mean time, Bethéa indigo and all its subsidiaries are looking like they will soon have not only a uniform look but it is going to be fabulous.
