I am participating in a new vlog meme called …

Blogossip

This month’s topic for Blogossip is “On the Map”! The set of questions are found below, so feel free to join in and answer in your own vlog! And please be sure to link back to it’s creators, the lovely Brittney and Brittany!

Blogossip #1: On the Map from Karen on Vimeo.

1. Where are you from? Meaning: Where were you born, where did you grow up, what is considered your “hometown” and a bit about it?

2. Where have you lived?

3. Where do you live now?

4. Where are you hoping to live?

5. What are a few places you’d like to travel and explore?

Because you will have to wait just a little while longer

I have been pretty much absent from the blogging world ever since I started my job. In fact, the last post was written the day before I did. Hard to believe I have been working for six weeks already.

I am already super-busy at work and exhausted every night when I get home, so I usually end up watching TV or reading a book every night. I also go to bed much earlier than I used to, though I am still having a hard time getting up early. Lately I have been finding myself skipping breakfast at home (instead stopping at the bakery on my way to work) in favor of another 20 minutes of sleep.

My apartment is still in the process of coming together. Last weekend I bought a couch and it will be delivered in early April (it is custom-made with the fabric I picked out so it takes six weeks for it to be delivered). My office is still looking like a huge mess, though I am almost done sorting through things – the office is where pretty much all of my junk goes as my living room is still pretty bare of furniture.

I was hoping to take pictures of my apartment today – after stowing everything away neatly, but I am not quite there yet. I really do want to get there before the week is over though, so stay tuned for pictures of my apartment sometime later this upcoming week.

To tide you over till you get to see pictures of my current apartment, I scanned some old pictures I came across tonight when unpacking a box of old stuff. Yes, people, this is what my bedroom looked like when I was a teenager (around 18/19).

Why yes, that would be Orlando Bloom, Health Ledger, David Boreanaz and Josh Hartnett on my wall. And Hayden Christensen apparently, though I have no recollection of that poster. Or the Star Wars poster. Ahem.  And no, I did not have too many dust catchers stuffed animals in my room. In fact, I still own a lot of them now – you see, they all have a story, how could I throw them away? (Yes, it’s a problem.)

I promise, there will be more posts coming about what I’ve been up to in the past six weeks. And they will hopefully be a little less random than this one was.

What did your room look like when you were a teenager? Would/Did you share a picture of it (on your blog)?
