Happy New Year!

Well, today marks the first day of 2013.  I have decided to make my first resolution - working on my blog (finally)!  I set up this blog back in 2007 and I suppose I've either been extremely busy for the last several years or I've had a severe case of writer's block.  Anyway, I'm determined to make this year different.

I've always had a passion for writing, but it seems that since my work schedule has gotten so busy, I haven't made the time for doing many of the things I enjoy - writing included.  I also haven't made time for my music - I like to play the flute and always imagined one day I might actually compose a flute solo of my own (yes, actually write the music myself).  However, I admit, this may prove more of a dream than a reality - at least that's how I imagine that to be for the next few years.

I have had a lot of major events in my life the last couple of years.

First, I purchased my dream home - a Queen Anne Victorian that I absolutely adore.



Second, I purchased the car of my dreams - a Mini Cooper, which I have nicknamed Lil Zipper.

Third, I have had a bit of a career change and have now moved into a marketing position with our newly developed commercial real estate division in the company I've worked for since 2007.

Last, but certainly not least, I got married to the man of my dreams who I had been dating for a VERY long time - over ten years.


Needless to say, I have had much to write about, but perhaps lacked the time to do so.  I am now hoping to write about both past and present events in my life and share a little (or maybe a lot) of my personal self to the world (or whomever should choose to care)!



Last night, my husband and I went to a great local restaurant to celebrate our first New Year's Eve as husband and wife.  We enjoyed great wine, delicious food and incredible ambiance at Serevan.

Today, we're both enjoying the holiday relaxing with one another and basically taking some time to think about our lives and the direction we're headed.  Let's face it, none of us are getting any younger and the clock is ticking, right?  I am going to spend the rest of the day reflecting on what I've done in my life so far and think about all that I still wish to do.  It's scary how fast life moves.  I feel like, I don't want to miss out!

Maybe my next post will include more about all of the fun ideas I have in store for the future - to ensure a lifetime full of exciting adventures.  Some things are simple things, but those which I always say I'm going to do, but never do - like bake a red velvet cake.  Other things are things I've done in the past, but don't seem to make time to do now - like ice skate.  I'm hoping this blog will help me to motivate to do more things - like write - and share my experiences - with you!

Why Dollhouse Diaries?

Why is my blog titled Dollhouse Diaries? Though I presently work full-time in the real estate industry, my full-time job about six years ago was in the dollhouse miniatures business.  Over ten years ago, I started working for a dollhouse shop in Greenwich, CT.  I was already a big dollhouse/miniature enthusiast and it just so happened that a job opportunity came up at this adorable retail shop and I happened to be perfect for this job.  The job required someone who is great with people (me), had a lot of experience in the retail business (me), thoroughly understood the meaning of 'customer service' (me again) and who had the creativity and artistic ability to help create wonderful miniature displays and even build some of the custom 1:12 scale dollhouses for both new and old customers of the store (this is SO me).  Anyway, I left my very boring job I had at the time for my new dream job and it was wonderful.  Finally, I had a job where I absolutely adored what I was doing and

Hey! Curious where I've been for the last 7+ years?

Oh my poor lonely blog, without a blogger to care for it....shame on me!  This is a typical Gemini, or A.D.H.D. behavior rather, that I often exhibit.  It's called toobusytocareism .  It's true!  I have just been too busy to pay any attention to...ME.  I love to write, but I also love all of the life events that I've endured over the past SEVEN YEARS if I'm doing my math correctly. I began this blog ages ago - when I was recently married and not yet a Mama.  I was still quite busy with work, lots of cats and my Mister, who we'll keep anonymous - at least for now.  We were living in that gorgeous Queen Anne style Victorian in Amenia, New York, when I had started my beloved blog.  Well, it lasted less than one full month - the blog that is - not the house, relationship, etc.!  The marriage is still going strong (at least most days) and the house to the best of my knowledge still stands as well, but we don't live in it, which brings me to my first big change (a

Bed Blogging

Home sick with what I think may be the flu.  I may have gotten it from my boss who is such a workaholic that he refuses to ever stay away from the office.  Anyway, I believe I've been infected and no, I never got a flu shot (though I read yesterday that 4 out of every 10 Americans who did receive a flu shot are still getting certain strains of the flu). I thought about posting a picture of myself lying in bed looking sick and disgusting, like I do, but I thought I would save you all from the image, but I found these other pics of other sick people, so let's use those - for effect: I feel a real connection with this particular individual...I think it's the hoodie. So now that I'm sick, I'm looking for some activities to keep me busy, which is difficult seeing as I'm too weak to get out of bed.  I've tried to get some work done despite my condition, but when we get sick, our brains get a little foggy.  On top of already feeling not to with i
