The Instant-Gratification Monkey and my Semi-Annual Update!

Well, well, well...here we are again.

Admittedly, my trigger to update is 1) bc I am giving in to my "instant gratification monkey" and am procrastinating and 2) a message I received on a "Wait But Why" update (more on that in a bit).

Seriously though, this Wait but Why blog (next to the Scandinavia and the World Comics) is one of my prouder internet happen upons that I share early and often with those I meet! The writer prides himself on substantive web content and I've got to admit that the blogs are thoughtfully written and almost always hit the nail on the head.  How does any of this equate to an update on my own blog, you ask?

Get this:

Wait but Why is doing an event in real life called "Wait but Hi" bringing their readers together to do fun things that they have in common in real life.  AH-mazing, right? Read more here.

So no kidding, there I was, completing the survey hoping to be a participant and one of the questions was "what's on the top of your bucket list"...and I thought to myself *I dunno, let's go see...!*

And then...I realized I hadn't updated in a while and figured that I would.

Here we are.  Updates in 3...2...1....

I have none. Ha!

However, here are some interesting events that have occurred or are pending:

  • I got promoted at work last year.  Pretty exciting and scary at the same time -- lots to learn and grow from. It happened the same weekend we hosted our customers at the PGA Championship Golf Tournament
     
  • Last year around the time of my updated post, college gfs and I revisited my old stomping grounds in Dubai for a girls vaca!

  • I will visit Scandinavia, specifically Iceland in two weeks with one of my cousins.  We will rent a tiny car and commence our #IceIceBabyRoadtrip and drive around the country getting into as many shenanigans, making memories and leaving with as many stories as possible in 7 days. Woot!

  • Whilst a PhD is still nowhere in sight -- my boss recommended that I get my MBA.  Have applied...interview is next...awaiting final decision.

That's pretty much it. 

Procrastination.

Procrastination complete.

Until next random update trigger -- ADVENTURE ON!
