Julie's Journal

January. Seriously…January? That’s the last time I have blogged and it’s now the end of September! Can I even be called a “Blogger” anymore? I need to get my act together, but I don’t even know where to begin. Is anyone out there still that can give me a swift kick in the butt to get started again? Please? Help!

I feel HORRIBLE for letting my blog go this badly. I’ve been busy with so many other things that I just keep pushing my blog into the background. I’ve got a minute or two to give you a quick rundown on what’s been happening.

1. I’m moving to Palo Alto, CA in two weeks! My husband has been working/living there for the past two months and we’ve been hunting and searching for just the right home. That day has come! We found a house, we signed a lease, and we move in two weeks. YIPPEE!
2. In the midst of him leaving, and me packing, I landed my DREAM job working for Suze Orman on her new site Money Minded Moms. I’m the Community Manager over there, so I’d love to invite you all to sign up and become members.

I hope you all are doing good too! Are you ready for the holidays?

Oh dear, where has the time gone? Oh yeah, I GOT A JOB! I’ve been focusing all my energy into learning all about my new company, and how things work. I have a small advantage though, as I’m working at the same place Michael is, so I’ve heard bits and pieces about the operations for 8 months now. Also working there are two other people that I use to work with long ago, so it’s a reunion of sorts, and a lot of fun. I’m excited to get up in the morning and go to work, and collaborate with my old colleagues that I have such great respect for.

My job title is Social Media Manager and I’ve spent most of my time creating accounts on all the social networking sites, making contacts and well…networking. They also just had to let a programmer go due to poor performance, so today I got to learn some new skills like how to use TightVNC to edit files on the server, and phpMyAdmin to add new products to the database. Tomorrow…Subversion. YIKES! But it’s fun and exciting, and I’m having fun learning new things.

Once I figure out this balancing act of job/family/leisure time again I’ll be updating more often. Until then, have a good one! Miss you all!

I really don’t know how it happened, but I’ve lost my mojo for my blog. I sit here everyday trying to think of something to write about and nothing comes out. It’s weird. Does anyone have any suggestions? I miss blogging.

Do you know how it feels to do things and never get ahead of the game? This is how I feel right now. I’m trying to do the impossible. Maybe I should just give up.
