pondering packing...

Again, I don't know how she does it.

During my one woman fashion show to determine what will go to AZ with me, the hand-me-down linen dress from Kirstin is the perfect one. How does she do it? Such perfect taste in everything. Even though the dress is five years old, purchased on a weekend girls' getaway, it is the most flattering thing I have in my closet. And not even mine originally! Good thing I encouraged her to purchase it back then.

My suitcase holds evidence of my most recent ailment. It proves that I am indeed suffering from cabin fever. I have folded and packed enough clothes, complete with the perfect accessories and coordinating shoes, for the entire two weeks. And this vacation is being spent in a place where not only did I design the guest room, but have two drawers and 1/2 a closet full of seasonal garments! What is the matter with me?

Fortunately I have the luxury of contemplating that question in 70 degree weather wearing the most flattering items from my wardrobe. And this thought makes me happy.

Risk! Risk anything!
Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices.
Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for
yourself. Face the truth.


take care.
