Not sure. I don't write. I don't like to write. More importantly, I have a full time job, a husband, a 3-year old...thus, I don't have time to write. So here I am at 12:30 a.m. drafting my first blog posting.
I was at a point in my life where I wanted lots of change. So I took inventory of my life and started to arrange all things in order of priority. I worked in three ad agencies for the past 9 years in account management. I learned a lot--I like marketing; I'm good at it; dinner tastes better when you're eating it at home with your family and not with your collegues, no matter how much you like them or how reimbursable the meal is. So I did it. I went out there looking for a job that would pay me more for less hours and provided more flexibility. A year later, I found the job and I made the change. Bye bye Agency world. Hello corporate America. I love it!
Next on my list...the one bedroom apartment. I was certain when we purchased our one bedroom apartment we had enough room. And then we had Julian. We had more Fisher Price products than we did IKEA furniture. I knew we needed more space when my son woke up one morning, stuck his little arm out his crib railing, and poked me in the eye while I slept in my bed. (no, he doesn't have a super long arm. our bed was right next to his crib.) So we bought a house...in LONG ISLAND. Well this is actually a little funny. You see, I was born and raised in NYC, specifically Queens. We make fun of the suburbs and the people that live there. But the price was right and the house was perfect...5 mins. away from every store you would ever need; few minutes away from multiple beaches (polluted as they might be, they are the best we got); and a real back yard with a white fence and all. Picture perfect!
We've been in the house now 7 months and I felt compelled to do something suburban. So I went to Michael's arts and crafts stores and signed up for one of their classes--scrapbooking. (What the heck was I thinking? I don't have time for this, nor am I creative.) Since I've signed up I've fully developed ONE page to Julian's baby scrapbook...and spent over $100, which doesn't inlcude the scrapbook iteself. But I've given myself until the summer to complete the scrapbook. That's the good thing about being your own boss.
Anyway, it's now 1:18 a.m. and I'm beat. I have to go to work tomorrow. Talk to you guys later.
