clothes horse.
we all know i have a shoe, or rather, a high heel problem.
we know i love to shop especially with ms. patti.
we know i can fill a walk-in-closet the size of an office and then some.
now we have proof of where i got this habit/trait from…
check out mom’s closet and the amount of bags of clothes and shoes we purged and then donated!
by the way, this isn’t even all the bags we ended up with!
i feel validated now, as i my rule of shoe purchases – toss a pair when a new pair arrives – has kept my collection current, i.e. within the last quarter century. this is more than I can say for the closet above.
i do have to say though, we had quite a laugh (the peeing your pants type laughing) at some of the crap from 25+ years ago, the 12 pairs of pjs, and 18 identical white t-shirts (literally) – just to name a few.
thanks mom for your example and teaching me how to be a clothes horse. it has soothed my stress many a weekend!
xo
p.s. mom, don’t be dismayed as i thoroughly enjoy my weekend shopping and the fun of online purchases.
p.s. next up…the quilting room, oye!

dairy queen.
where oh where can you be?! i sure would like a french silk pie billizard.
i’ve been driving by this piece of land in shepherdstown, wv (near my mom’s house) on and off since 2001.
no joke.
how long can it possibly take to build a dq? i should have taken bets. i could be rich by now.
stop teasing my taste buds!

it’s official.
i am no longer unemployed!
yes, it’s true.
back to the great state of wisconsin
and home to green bay.
i know, crazy, huh?
nervous? yes.
wasn’t “planning” this quite yet for my life…
but that’s how it works sometimes, right?
excited? not quite yet.
it doesn’t feel quite real.
but there is a certain 10 year old who is thrilled
to be making a list of things we will be doing this summer.
not to mention i’ll be super close to my other family and friends across the state.
only being 4 hours from my other home, aka – mpls
and all the peeps there.
so the excitement is building.
so what’s the job?
i’ll be working for bellin health at bellin college
serving as the vice president of academic affairs.

i start the first week of june.
it’s an amazing blessing and opportunity.
i started my “nursing” career at bellin hospital
first, as a volunteer with the cute little uniform
second, as a hospice volunteer
all in the span of my high school days.
amazing how the world comes full circle
and how freaking fast june is coming.
i think i’ll hit wi before memorial day
so i can avoid the traffic
celebrate my 36th year with a few fab people
and more importantly get settled back at home.
i do have to say that i’m sad to be leaving the east coast.
*understatement*
i’ll miss my mom and jim, TONS!!!
definitely more than i even know or they know.
i’ll miss the city and the sights…
especially driving to work seeing them everyday.
i’ll miss my friends…mc, jodi-o and baby t.
and having so many people come visit!
i hope grb is just as exciting for them.
i’ll miss my retail therapy via georgetown and the kate spade outlet.
along with having cupcake shops on every corner…
*sigh*
i will be sad to be so far away from nyc.
boy, do i love that city.
but mkb and i have a back up plan for the city that never sleeps.
so it’s onto a new adventure
and being back to news at 10pm!

isn’t he cute?
he really is!
he’s much more lovie too…
(for you scaredy cats – friends)
how can you not resist petting his little head when his cute (declawed) paws are crossed so sweetly?
my mom believes this is his way of praying i get a job soon so he can leave the basement without a yapping dog chasing him.
xo
p.s. if you weren’t in the dc area or haven’t read or watched the news be sure to check out the space shuttle discovery flying over the skies today… watch this [video]!
