So, we’re about to turn over the calendar to a new year. And 2025 was…a lot #whew. While it’s tradition to celebrate a new year on January 1, I tend to wait until spring to mark the new year (not surprising, since I’m an Aries). There is one tradition I follow faithfully*. December 31st is…
The azaleas in the WRAL gardens started blooming a few weeks ago, so I took a field trip to have a look. Photos will come later, once I have a chance to finish my editing.
Wow. We’re closing in on an entire year in Raleigh. It still blows my mind that I actually moved across the United States. With two cats. (Who hate car rides.) I have yet to get over to the beaches but at least I no longer have to constantly remind myself that the ocean is EAST…
So I’ve been interested in making videos for a while but never really did anything about it. Earlier this year I attended Amy Landino’s “Vlog Like A Boss” presentation for the Triangle Marketing Club and my curiosity was piqued again. But what? Why? How? WHEN??? Well, over the past few weeks I’ve had the bug…
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…
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….
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…
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…
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…
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…
