blouses from the wine store
I went to the wine store AND THEN I went shopping for blouses. When was that? Ten days ago? Two weeks ago?
Looking at them now, I realize they aren't really blouses per se.
I don't think blouses are knits.
These are knits.
And I bought them.
This one -
is good with my eyes. A little neck-y though.
I did not buy this gray one as it was transparent.
I'm just keeping you up to speed. I expect my readership is dropping precipitously.
Things are humming along at work and at home.
At work, I've been preparing a huge spreadsheet for a business trip - it covers five people's appointments for four days in half hour increments AND I may have mastered answering the phone and transferring the call. Go ahead and laugh. My predecessor never answered the other line and transferred the call and, therefore, could not show me how to do it. The trial and error has been humbling.
At home, the boys have risen to the occasion. I won't bore you with details but the dishwasher has been unloaded, laundry has been schlepped, rides have been procured and school has been walked home from. They've been very patient fielding my phone calls too as I like to check in with them late in the afternoon.
I need to mention my mom too...she lives nearby and has made herself available to get me from the train, shuttle the kids back and forth, and has brought dinner. It's pretty terrific knowing she can fetch a sick kid if I need her to or will be there to drive them home in the pouring rain.
Anyway. Humming. Humming along.

So not bored. So not dropping off.
So wishing I had the body to wear those knits/blouses.
So wanting to know what you think of typepad versus blogger versus wordpress for the purposes of presenting more gardens next year.
So know you are incredibly busy!
Swear to God... I had a dream a about shirt/blouse shopping last night because I need some in a bad way. (It's amazing what a 12 pound loss will do to your boobs and therefore the way your shirts fit.) My fave is the second one you have up and I don't normally do bows.
Your mother is the bomb. :)
Turtlenecks make my neck itch. Luckily I now live where it's too warm to wear turtlenecks.
My boss wrote a profound fashion memo the other day. "Color does NOT mean casual. You are still required to dress business professional."
I bought a yellow blouse. It will live under my black cardigan.
...
Will you come live at my house, in my closet? I will pamper you and love you all the days of your life.
The spreadsheet sounds intimidating. Transferring calls is fun. Just make sure you give the caller the line they need to reach in case the call is dropped. Next up: Conference calls! You can do it.

Oh, and I personally am in love with this new stage of your blog. I'm livin' vicariously!
I used to have to do travel itineraries for my boss. I hated it because I would schedule EVERY ASPECT of his day - from wake-up time to bed time. GAH! Drove me nuts, it did.
Judging from the amount of comments here today, I seriously doubt that your readership is dropping off. If you're worried, go back and buy that transparent shirt....I'll pass the word around! :o)
I had a baked potato from Wendy's today. It was awful. Made one yesterday but fell asleep during the debate, totally forgot about until I was at work, ordering lunch today. Seriously bad smell in the microwave! Ugh.
Inquiring minds with similar fashion sense want to know!!
Glad the new gig is going so swimmingly. You sound very happy, and it makes me vicariously happy to read about it.
I'm hoping the good new job juju will somehow rub off... off you (with plenty left) and onto me, that is. These days, I need all the help I can get.
Anyways, love the blouses, especially the necky one.
I love the cute one with the bow. You must look lovely in it.
(I'm not going anywhere...)
