The Most Beautiful Clothes in the World

-
I’m not a huge fan of shopping for clothes, so when I bring a new item into my closet and cut off the tags, I toss the tiny plastic bag containing any extra buttons/beads/thread into the cosmetics caddy that sits next to my sink.  Every now and then, I’ll clean these items out of the caddy to place them in a better location, something more out of the way or closer to the sewing kit, in case they are ever needed.

Since the electric toothbrush has a full two-minute brushing cycle to go through (no cheating there, unless you want to stop early and risk slinging used toothpaste and little bits of mouth across the bathroom.  Yum!), I often stand at my sink and look around, waiting for something interesting to entertain me while I kill 120 seconds.  The other day, I was unthinkingly picking through the caddy, when I stumbled across this pack:



How beautiful!  Look at that emerald green – so shiny!  And, wait.  Is that a small, white sequin?  What amazing article of clothing did this come from?  I remember thinking, “do I have a gorgeous forest green dress in my closet with some sort of sequin detailing?”  Surely, I would remember an item of clothing as stunning as these extra beads seemed to indicate I owned.

And then I figured it out.  Behold:



Yup, that seems about right. *

Later!

 * Yes, I bought this for an ugly Christmas sweater party.  Yes, it’s from Wal-Mart.  No, I haven’t worn it for anything other than that, I swear.

Some News...Part One

Well, hello there, everyone!  It's been a hot minute since we last blogged together, and a lot has been going on! The two of us outside the house in North Encanto, in  which we just passed the 5 year mark! In addition to our normal roster of working, frequenting local restaurants, and spending time with friends and family, the past few months have been a flurry of activity - although we've been thinking about it for several years, we're finally taking the plunge and relocating further east, moving from Phoenix to the greater Lexington, Kentucky area.  While some folks have been apprised of every step we've taken in this journey, to others, this may come as surprising news.  To hopefully help explain, here's a brief timeline of events that led us to this major life change: January - March 2019 - We decided that although life in SoCal is amazing, it isn't for us (Chris' 90 minute commute each way to work was a major factor), and we relocated back to Phoenix, b...

Some News...Part Two

Did you read Part One already?  You probably should! As mentioned in the previous blog entry, we're moving (yes, again); this time we're heading northeast, to Richmond, near Lexington, Kentucky! Welcome to 1601 Four Mile Rd, Richmond, KY ! In mid March, Chris flew to the Lexington area for a long weekend, during which he met with our realtor (and cousin!) Scott and visited around 10-15 houses.  He was quickly able to eliminate several; we plan on parking the travel trailer on our property and raising a few chickens (eventually), so anything with an overly restrictive HOA was out of the question.  Due to the egg machines and a few other projects we'd like to pursue (extensive gardening, beekeeping, etc.), anything with less than acre of land wouldn't work, nor would anything where said land was extremely steep, which is a concern in this hilly part of the country. Of the properties that met these criteria (along with the initial set we established, which included having...

House Pictures...Finally!

Howdy, everyone!  It's hard to believe, but we're fast approaching the four month anniversary of signing our closing papers on the house in Richmond, Kentucky, and we're  finally  ready to share interior house pictures with all of you lovely blog readers!   But first, an exterior one! As is pretty normal, it took awhile to get everything settled; although we were unpacked and living comfortably in the house within a month or so, finishing up the interior decorating took substantially longer.  One of the main reasons for this is the bright, sunshiny yellow door you see in the picture above.  When we bought the house, this was the front door: While the black color was fine (if uninspired), it was the massive amount of glass in the door that drove us to find a better solution.  The road in front of the house is moderately busy, and we often have deliveries being dropped on our porch; every time someone drove by, which the dogs could easily see, they ...
