1. Yesterday Michelle over at My Notting Hill hosted a very sweet virtual baby shower for Lauren at Pure Style Home. I had every intention to get my submission in on time, but of course got caught up in work stuff and my office move so I totally spaced. I feel like an awful blogger to Michelle for so kindly including me and for Lauren because I am a bad friend- so sorry to the both of you :)
I meant to send this present, a Helen Ficalora charm necklace.
A "C" charm for now (for her son Christian) and then another when her baby is born and she spills the name choice. I don't have kids of my own, but I feel like its always presents for the baby, things to use on the baby, etc. So I wanted to get Lauren something special that had to do with her kids, but was more for her.

3. I know I never talk about what I do as my day job, but there has been alot of drama going on with it. Long story short- my company was sold, they did lots of layoffs, I ended up keeping my job, BUT I have to move offices and it looks like my blogging during the day days are over. I am beyond upset, I don't want to move offices and I don't want to leave the building I am in currently. I know boohoo to me, pity party for one at Table 2 :)
I don't want to sound ungrateful because I am happy to have a job in this economy- I just wish it was in a field that I was obsessed with like I don't know, decorating :) (anyone in Boston hiring?)
So, if I seem distant around here for a little bit its just while I get my feet wet in this new office. Please know that I love all my readers and one of my favorite things to do is read and comment on your blogs too...so please don't leave me if I seem absent for a bit- I promise to be back soon.
Alright, off to finish packing my office boxes to get ready for my move- feel bad for me, packing sucks!

I hear ya, I'm in the same place with the job situation.
It would be so nice to take the design blogging and move it into a full time job...it's hard to break into the design world in Boston though!
