Very happy memorial weekend. I’m hanging out in the clean air of Ohio for the week. One of my best friends got married yesterday, and this week will be full of wedding chores and errands. My mother has requested my cleaning service for two chandeliers. Last time I did this was in 2004, so I can’t wait to get my hands on the windex.

And then TGT arrives for a sleepover at my parents’ house on Friday!! I am spoiled by all of this time together.

My mom’s friends are throwing a bridal shower for me in a couple weekends. It is a tea party, and the invitation instructs guests to wear hats. Maybe silly…or maybe FANTASTIC that my mother’s generation shares my healthy appreciation for costume parties, fostered by some fabulous sorority theme parties and two years of business school costume parties.

My dream is that Tallgirltales and I recreate this scene while dressed as the cousins from My Best Friend’s Wedding.

Appreciating the hospitality of tgt immensely!

Awake before sunrise to attend busyb’s bachelorette party!

Goodbye, apartment… Goodbye, Philadelphia!

Goodbye huntsman hall

Does goodwill take palms?

I am so grateful to my wonderful family and in-laws for all of their support! (disclaimer: two cards are mother’s day cards and certainly not mine.)
