Okay, maybe more than a minute and closer to *checks calendar* a year and a half? Yikes. I guess that’s what happens when you’re trying to keep going during a pandemic. I’ll do a more thorough catch-up post when I can (probably over Thanks-but-no-thanks-giving). The headline now is that I’ve consciously decoupled my Victoria Klum Media site from this one....
Well hello there! It’s been a minute since I’ve been here. The freelance hustle is non-stop and, well, this became fallow land. Anyway, we’re at the height of hurricane season (not to be confused with Hurricanes Season, which will get underway in a few weeks). In fact, we already had Hurricane Dorian hit North Carolina a week ago. Thankful that...
We’re getting into Hot Cocoa Season. HOORAY!!! I’m wearing shirts with sleeves that extend below my elbows. WOOT!!! The trees are turning and the colors are stunning! However, it’s still and forever Allergy Season for me because apparently, I’m allergic to air. Win some. Lose some. Where DOES the time go? It’s mind-blowing to realize that I’m well into my...
I’m not really in the mood for gestational jokes, so let’s dive on in, shall we? Soccer Season Ends The North Carolina Courage had an amazing end to an unprecedented season. I still shake my head in amazement and gratitude for what I witnessed this summer. It didn’t come easy for them, either. As was writing last month’s update, Hurricane...
Sorry it’s a little late, fam. Had a bit of a situation over here. An unwelcome visitor, so to speak. I’m just glad it didn’t completely trash my place. As I was starting to think of what to write about my eighth month in Raleigh, a swirl of clouds appeared off the coast of Africa. Over the next 10 days,...
My, how time flies! It seems like I just wrote the six-month po…oh yeah. I was a bit late on that one, wasn’t I? Well, here’s to not letting another update languish in my Drafts folder for three weeks! So I did some stuff in my seventh month in North Carolina. I’m still working hard as a freelancer. That’s the...
It’s not that I had forgotten about my monthly update. Things are launching in some areas and others seem stuck on the launch pad and I’ve been working and nudging as seems appropriate. It sort of seems impossible that it’s already been six months since Dos Gatos Locos and I spent our first nights here in Raleigh. I was excited,...
The most Frequently Asked Question I get since I moved here is, “Why Raleigh?” The answer has many facets internally but is really rather simple. I knew I needed to get out of the Bay Area and I knew that I was entering a point in my life where I needed to really push the boundaries of my comfort zone....
Let’s just jump right into the #WeatherReportByVicster, shall we? So in Month Five I learned that the temperature and the dew point like to be twinsies and no matter what I pull out of my closet I’m basically going to be wearing the air for the foreseeable future. Also bugs. Big, nasty bugs. A couple of weeks ago I was...
Well, I sorta almost forgot to write anything about the 4-month mark of living in Raleigh. It’s been on my mind for the past couple of weeks, but it’s been a busy time getting my freelance business going. #WeatherReportByVicster We’re starting to experience summer-like weather: it’s been in the 90’s for the past few days, but the humidity hasn’t been...
