Hi! I’m here! I’m alive!
Um… who am I? Oh, if you’ve never met me (online or InRealLife), you can pop over to http://www.notboredny.com to check out the kind of life I’ve led until… about a year and a half ago. It’s a blog I kept from 2011-2017, mostly for myself, to keep track of how I’d been spending my time so I feel less FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). But I like to think I also entertained a few friends and family members along the way. Totally not required reading (believe me I know how precious free time is for people my age). But if you’re interested, there’s travel, activities, food, drama, and lots and lots of pictures. And then after you’re done with that rabbit hole come back over here and read about all the fun or exhausting stuff I’ve been up to (depending on what you’re in the mood for).
Why a new blog you ask? Well, NotBoredMomma is going to be quite a big departure from what you’re used to reading from me if you’ve followed my NotBoredNY blog over the years. There have been a lot of changes in my life, the most important of which, as you can probably tell from the new blog title, is that I’m going to be a mommy. I’m knocking at the door of my third trimester of pregnancy (27 weeks), and my baby is about the size of a papaya (or a Tickle-Me-Elmo apparently, which I think is a much more fun way of describing it). So, yes. Expect less hikes and more rants about my back hurting and hemorrhoids. j/k I don’t have those…yet? Mostly it’ll likely be about food I’ve whipped up in my kitchen, family-oriented adventures, pets, pregnancy, babies, and a scattering of whatever old NotBoredNY-type adventures I can get away with.
I’ve also embarked on a new relationship (which isn’t exactly new anymore as we got together late 2017, and uh, have a bun in the oven popping out in 3 months – read about our 4th date here!), lost my old job, got a new job in a new industry with a different specialization (ad tech/front-end angular development), moved to a studio in Rego Park by myself, moved back to Forest Hills in Queens with my boo, lost my beloved dog, fell head over heels for my adopted cats and have been generally caught in the tornado that is my life.
I do wish I’d brought you all along on this journey with me from the get-go. The reason I’m starting another blog is that I recently realized how much of life passes by without me knowing what I did with it when I’m not blogging. But pregnancy, my new job (which I’ve been at for a little less than a year), and moving apartments have all kept me from my old hobbies. I also wish I’d taken you along for a ride during the year that all led up to this and shown you all the fun stuff I did with my amazing partner and baby-daddy (whose excitement level about the baby is even higher than mine). I will attempt to summarize it for you in my next post, but, for now, ciao, I’ve missed you, and…
See you at the next bump!
P.S. and Disclaimer: I’m not going to pretend to be one of those ladies/moms who’s an expert in a lot of things. I’m mostly just trying not to mess up over here. 😛
P.P.S. Sorry about the boring post/crappy writing. Still trying to get my groove back!
