Welcome to my blog
Hi folks,
Welcome to my little slice of cyber space. I'm Caren, a graphic designer, Mac addict, who's somewhat obsessed with organizing. I've been called the Queen of Quark, but also the Queen of Clean, and Princess of Power Tools. I also like to play bridge with my friends on Saturday nights.
I work at a small company in NY where I'm the only designer in the marketing dept. I really love it here, and they love the work I do. Yup, it's a real love fest going on. I've had some juicy projects like redesigning their web site, logo, and catalog. My boss is really nice, a little younger than me. The president of the company is really nice, smart, very knowlegable about every facet of the business, and a lot younger than me. And marketing is getting a new assistant, who is almost half my age.
It's not that I mind getting older, but rather that I'm not further along in my career as I had hoped, but then, I did take some time to slow down, and do freelance, while the kids were little, so I have no one but myself to blame. Still I never thought I would feel so, well, middle aged. I look a lot younger than I am, rather pretty in a plump, middle aged sort of way.
I've got a husband of 23 years and 3 sons, ages 17, 12 and 6. I'll call them DH for Dear Husband, and DS17 for Dear Son age 17, etc, just like I do in my posts on Organizedhome.com. Look for me there. My user name is Caren. There I post my cleaning lists, and work with the support of my Sister Sweepers. What can I say, housework is a lonely occupation, and it's nice to know someone else is cleaning the toilet.
