Feels More Like Home Each Time
As I pulled into my garage I thought, "This really IS feeling like home!"
In NJ we'd had almost 10 years in our home, raised 2 kids from babies (one was born while we lived there) and we had a LOT of history in the house.
This is still new. But it feels good.
I'm home, I had a LOVELY time, Ruth of Knitters Treat (Knitters Treat, PO Box 544, Monticello, WI 53570-0544) is a lovely hostess and if you live near Monticello, Madison, or any Wisconsin town near there you should get in touch with her and get on her email list for future teachers.
Aside from the gracious hostessing, the FOOD is absolutely AMAZING! I had two of the best lunches I've ever had in the past 2 days - just enough food, not a killer load, and so well balanced for texture and taste. Lovely! And a lesser soul than I might just possibly do real damage for a piece of that amazing chocolate raspberry cake. Fudge. Yum.
I drove home - Wisconsin is really quite beautiful! It makes me think of a slightly wilder Ohio (perhaps even a mix of Ohio and WV but with less folks) and stopped at TJ Maxx on the way home to pick up some clothing basics.
A few nice white shirts, a nice, black knit tank top, and a pair of heels that are loafer styled and actually COMFORTABLE! I usually hate heels, I never buy them, but I want to have a pair for the audition next week (!) and these felt SO good - and looked good, too. I love Aerosoles.
So now I'm off to bed - tomorrow is errand running and preparing for Cleveland. Thurs/Fri/Sat & Sun are Cleveland, then home on Sunday night.
Monday a day of driving to Chicago, then PRW audition on Tues, and home on Wed.
And then I'm home for a sustained period... Yahoo!

Those shoes are stinking cute! I've always loved that style, but feel like I can't ever pull it off.
Seems you got home just in time for the rain :)
I'm glad you are enjoying living in St. Paul and can now call it home. The Yarnery helps. ;) My question of the day is how do you get a fab book such as 'The Lives of the Kings and Queens of England' onto your Ipod? I would love to listen to something like that.
I really want to wish you luck on your audition! I have never watched Project Runway, but I will if you're going to be on it!
Hi Magas,
I have itunes downloaded on my mac, you can download it for a PC, too. I went to the itunes store link, typed in "Antonia Fraser" because I knew I wanted a nice, juicy history book by her, and this came up as one of the audio book choices. I bought it, it downloaded, and the next time I updated my ipod it was imported by my itunes software.
You can also go to audible.com and look at it here.
Glad to have you (briefly) home!
Do arrange your driving so that you arrive in downtown Chicago proper during one of the brief gaps between rush hours. You don't need to arrive and attempt to get yourself organized in a state of traffic-induced hysteria...
Good luck with the audition!
Well you'll only be home a sustained period if you don't get chosen for PRW - but you will! (or here's crossing fingers for you anyhow :)
