Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018

I’m alive!!!! See ya 2017, I’m so ready for 2018! 2017 ended up flying by for me the last half of the year. Lots of things happened. Some good, some bad. It’s all a roller coaster adventure with its highs and lows. 2017 highlights: Got a new job! Started December 1 and so far so good! Still can’t kick some of the habits I learned from the previous job but I’m working on it. I’m getting used to wearing “fancy clothes” for my business casual work place. I use that term loosely. That means anything that isn’t a t-shirt, sweatshirt,…

Stay-cation Week

  First day of my job (7/27/2017) vs last day of my job (11/ 30/2017) of my notebook. Beginning of a new chapter or plot twist in my life! #travelersnotebook #speckledfawn #Kodiak #leather #notebook #patina #growth #change #career First week of the new job went well! Took vacation time the second week of the job which my current bosses knew before I started the job. So far it’s good! The team is very nice and I think we’ll get along well. The work is different than I expected but I think I can figure it out. Fingers crossed it’ll be…

New Job + Online Store Sale

I’m still alive! Happy Thanksgiving to my American friends! Just my job has kept me busy and the only time I have to art, is to sketch, but it’s nothing good enough to share on here. Funny thing, I’ve gotten a new job! Still at the same company but it’s a different department. Plus side is that it’s closer of a commute so instead of about 40 minutes to an hour commute one way (depending on traffic) it should decrease to about 20-30 minutes. I’ll still be busy with the new job but I’m HOPING that once I get established I’ll…

Life Update: New Job and Other Random Things

Ok, so I totally meant to post this right after I heard I got my new job! Which was *cringes* about 8 months ago…But I ended up finding that working full time is a lot more tiresome than I expected. I knew there would be a transition but the longer I was there, and the more I learned, the harder it was to have energy to blog or do anything once I got home. Still enjoy the job but found my spare time was a lot more limited than I would like. The reason I am able to post today…

Puerto Rico 2016

Sorry for the lack of updates. I really need to get back into being productive with my work. Recently I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico this past Spring! It was lots of fun and I really enjoyed it. I went with my family and a friend so I wasn’t alone. Here’s a few glimpses of my travels.  I had plans to wind down and write or sketch but that didn’t happen as much as I had hoped since we were constantly moving more than I expected which was fine. We were there for a week…

Life Update + Traveler’s Notebooks

Hey guys! Been a long time! *glances at calendar and gasps* It’s been about 4 months since I last blogged! I want to apologize for it! Lately, I’ve been doing more reading the last few months and updating my other blog during the end of 2015 but this first quarter of the year has been lacking but I have a good reason for the last few months. Unfortunately I haven’t been motivated to read now but I do want to get back into writing/sketching. No good reason why other than I hadn’t been feeling like it but once I get…
