Hi strangers!
Remember when I used to write a lot and keep you updated on
my life and occasionally say useful things?
Yeah, I barely remember that either.
Sorry that I’ve left you hanging, friends. Everything with
my move to Raleigh suddenly got kicked into warp speed and I barely had time to
breath. I’m finally relaxing a little – which is good because those stress
dreams were getting weird – so now I have time for all the little life things
that aren’t life-sustaining, like blogging, buying snack foods, and online
shopping.
Those are all important pursuits, right?
So let’s ease ourselves back into this situation with a
quick recap of what is going on in my life and what you can expect in the
future.
- I moved to Raleigh.
Leon and I got this great house in this weird little mini
neighborhood that is amazingly close to downtown.

- I’m going to write a SMART goals post about house hunting.
It mainly involves the Action-oriented goal of limiting the
number of times you cry in the car and the very Realistic goal of finding a
house with at least one full bathroom.
- I got a job!
Technically it’s a temp job, but it has the potential to
become permanent. And considering they haven’t had anyone doing marketing since
the last marketing coordinator left in 2012, there’s a serious backlog of work,
so I’m pretty optimistic about my chances. Also, I’m a excellent marketer (said
like Dustin Hoffman in Rainman), so that helps, too.

- I’m going to write another SMART goals post about job hunting.
Trust me, it will not in any way be a sales pitch for
LinkedIn’s job seeker premium account because I think that’s a waste of money.
- You might also get treated to a post about all the things I wanted to say to my coworkers, but didn’t because they might get me fired. If I write this post, it will be very colorful and feature lots of memes.
- Leon and I have merged our finances.
That meant we had a very, very honest conversation about our
debt. And that conversation included Leon saying that he didn’t feel quite as
bad about his student loan debt once he found out how much credit card debt I
had. Oh yes, ladies and gents, that is my future husband.
- We just took this big leap and aren’t too far into it, so I’m not planning on writing a post about that anytime soon.
- I found a new Crossfit box and have started doing the Crossfit Open. You can definitely expect a post about that because most of you have no clue what words I just said.
- I’m still working on that friend thing. And you can believe I will be writing plenty of posts about that and plenty of memes in those posts, as well.
Those are the highlights of my life lately. As you can see,
that’s a lot going on, but most of it is exciting, some of it is good, and a
few of the things don’t totally terrify me.
What’s going on with you, friends?
Cheers, Kara.
