A Jam-Packed Little Life Update

Oh, hello, it’s me.  It’s been an embarrassing five days since my last blog post, so I thought I’d pop in and tell you what’s been going on in life, as well as trying to get back into rhythm again with this little blog of mine (I keep calling it that lately – no idea why).

So the past two weeks or so have been absolute CHAOS.  Since I gave two weeks and signed the contract with my new job, it’s been nonstop mayhem, working extra hours to train people at my old job as well as trying to prepare for my new one.  My last day at my current company is tomorrow, and I start the new job on Monday. In hindsight I probably should have given myself a bit of transition time between the two, but welp. I was so excited that I wasn’t even thinking.  I also have about 457348 posts to finish up on my calendar and am starting to fall behind ALREADY.

On top of that, I’ve been taking driving lessons (finally!).  My new job requires me taking a train and bus to get there, so I foresee that getting very old, very fast.  So lol, yes, nothing like waiting until the last minute, Laur.

But with all the craziness, there’s been some good thrown in there.  For starters, the tiny confidence boost of landing this job has had me feeling pretty great lately.  I’ve also done a bit of retail therapy buying new clothes for work. I honestly think there’s nothing more exciting about a new job than buying a whole new wardrobe for said job.

Plus, Steve and I have been looking at cars for me, and I’m actually REALLY excited about that.  I’ve never been really in to cars, so this is a big deal for someone like me. We’re looking at somewhat smaller cars, but still have enough room for if/when our family grows.  And has five doors. And a backup camera. And doesn’t break the bank. So yea, should be easy…

So, despite the radio silence I am back and ready to march on with this little blog, no matter how busy I get.  I have some great posts lined up, including one on Covent Garden (so excited for that one!), a few great new brands I’ve found, and a few more gift guides (click here and here to shop my previous ones).  I’m anxiously looking forward to the weekend, moreso than ever.  Can it be Friday, like right now?

Any exciting news in your life?  I’m dying to hear! (seriously, I need a break from my life for like, five minutes lol)
