***Update***
So, what have I been up to lately?
I -think- I'm officially moved in. Always takes a while for me, since I like things to be in a certain place or arranged "just right". ME...Perfectionist, nah! Organizational Nazi, perhaps! But overall, I'm happy with how the whole apartment (or house as I really prefer to call it) has all turned out.
Works good, too. I've been at my new job for a little over 6 weeks. I'm still in that "beginning work" mode where you're kinda there doing things but still have LOTS to learn - so, ugh...I hate that! BUT Perks of the auction job: Getting random phone calls from Paris or Switzerland or you name it on a sorta daily basis, having film crew associates walk in saying they'd like to buy furniture for a major motion picture/tv series being filmed in New Orleans and having me as their contact person, getting to try on all the priceless (OK, yeah...there really is a price limit, but it's WAY over my budget) jewelry before it's auctioned off - did I mention I LOVE 1920s TIFFANY...yummy jewels and gold and diamonds - oh my!
I'm also training to be a docent on the weekends for two famous French Quarter House Museums, which I extremely enjoy. I forgot how much of a nerd I am when it comes to history! I have lots of random facts/years to put to memory, but OMG...the houses are amazing!!!
More pics and other exciting news to come soon...
