bad bad non-blogging stale blog having holly.
lots of things happened the past couple months, in semi-chronological order.
• I got a promotion ( + raise, woohoo!) and have the best team ever (and by “team”, I mean me and one other person… but he’s the greatest thing since peppermint mochas during december)
• I had my first trip to Baltimore
• I saw Washington DC for the first time
• I saw every major DC monument in one 8 hour day (it was A LOT of walking)
• I lost my Gucci sunglasses that I bought in Amsterdam while in DC (a sacrifice to the gods for being able to travel so much on work’s dime, I suppose)
• Apparently, while in DC, I walked across a bridge and ended up in Virginia, soo…
• I had my first trip to Virginia, which means…
• I traveled to two states and a district in a matter of 8 hours
• I saw Air Force One (that shit is big… like helicoptors rollin’ 5 deep)
• I had my first trip to NYC (see two posts ago)
• I saw John Legend and Robin Thicke @ the HOB SD, which might have been the most perfect concert ever. As Stephanie said, it was “too much sexy for my soul”
• Jonathan gave me his iPod video (woohoo!)
• It just died, literally (tears)
• Jonathan moved to Hong Kong Phooey
Thanksgiving was good. We deep fried another turkey but this time I brined it over night so it would stay extra juicy. It works well - I highly recommend it.
Christmas is coming up quiiiiiiiickly. Wondering what to get me? See the second to last bullet point above. Apple gift cards would be super duper… ’cause I really can’t live without an iPod. Really. It’s hard. Music = my life, my sanity, my inspiration. I can’t be a designer without inspiration, right? Right! Pitch in, bitches… Holly needs a new iPod.
Hope you’re all well. Sorry for being so absent, I promise I’ll try harder. Maybe if I stop reading Perez and actually start writing my own blog, I’ll be better.
