You have NO IDEA how much I have missed you… Really.
Yesterday, I spent twelve hours doing laundry. Mostly because a bottle of dessert wine exploded in my (of course) checked bag and I had to wash every single thing. This was painful for three reasons: 1) It was totally my fault and I had to listen to Mr. A tell me about how it was my fault. Multiple times. 2) Wine should never be spilled. Or consumed in a plastic cup. Now I can say I have done both. 3) When I tried to suck the wine out of my laundry, I got glass shards in my teeth. Not exactly the high I was going for.
Anyhow, today I have about two thousand pictures that I am going through. And I am so excited to share all of the details of my trip with you. It was so amazing and I am so so so so so so lucky to have been able to do this. Mainly because Mr. A doesn’t like to take time off of work for any extended period of time. BUT, Mr. A got a new job! Which means we got to take a nice, long vacation before it started. It also means….
I AM MOVING! (Check out the picture for a not-so-subtle clue as to where. And try – if you know me and/or my blog – to contain your laughter.)
My sister lived there for a few years! I’ll see if she has any tips. Good luck!!
Waiting for details …..
Welcome back and congrats to Mr. A! Can’t wait for the pics and details. Guessing Cincinnati??
Leslie, PLEASE! I need a LOT of help. Anne, what kind of details do you want? I am an open book!!!
Chana, ding ding ding ding!!!!
I’m assuming he’s going to work for the ‘shoe??
Wow-one thing at a time for this girl who doesn’t do change well.
First thing first-
What purse did you go with!??!
well. they have a saks.
I can’t wait for you to be in the Nasty Natti! Which means that you are just an extended car ride away, now I get to visit you all a bunch of times a year!
And we may actually make it over to see you finally!!!! (I would really just be coming over to visit the Jersey Rose, but you understand. Right?) And in the Nasty, we will have to have “Drewzel’s Room” instead of “MoMa’s Room”… Shhhhhh, don’t tell MoMa!
I will take any visit I can get, no matter the reason. As for the room, you can still call it Moma’ Room, but we will know the real name.
Ok you will have to visit me in Chicago for some real shopping lol my dad lives in Cincy and I lived there before we moved to Bradenton
Ahhhhh the Nasty! My friends that have lived there have loved it. Hopefully you will escape to Chicago!
Wait, I can’t live in Chicago and have Mr. A commute?! ARGH.
Wine on the beautiful white jacket?
It is currently at the dry cleaner trying to be revived. Thankfully it was only the white that got smashed… Red would have been TRAGIC.
What is an 8 hour commute for you to have real shopping lol
Okay, a rapid-fire response… Liz, you’ve got it!! He’ll be the AGM there. Heather, I actually LOVE to move but very sad to leave NOLA. As for the purse and other shopping exploits, you will have to wait for the posts this week!!! Tara, I have seen it. And I am pretty sure my online shopping will just have to continue at its current clip. Susan, DEAL! Tonia, I will absolutely be there. Yay!!! I will be reunited with you!! Do your friends have friends still there? I need to find a crew ASAP!
Just stay on the east side better schools great neighborhoods I loved Marriemont
I know you thru a mutual friend, I lived in Cincy and raised my kids there( they went to Mariemont schools- pronounced Marymont not Marie). We lived in Terrace Park, which is lovely. I would be happy to give you hints, I have a daughter in Maderia , also nice and close to the best Mall, Kenwood Towne Center. Yes! I know the city well.
So excited for you guys!
Thanks Linda! I spent one day there and actually went to that mall (not terribly shocking knowing me)… I am pretty sure that I will have one day to find somewhere to live so I will definitely take a look at those areas. And once I actually have any clue what I am doing, I will definitely take you up on that offer for helpful hints!!! xx.
You sound very excited, so I am excited also! Being close to Chicago shopping can’t hurt, but sad you are leaving NO!
Congrats on a new chapter!
sniff sniff
sniff sniff agreed
I was finally getting around to planning a NOLA trip and hoped to see you but … alas, it is not to be. I do sometimes have to go to Cinci for work so perhaps… My sister went to grad school there. Will get some scoop to add to your intel reports.
Congrats to Mr. A and to you! Wonderful to be starting a new chapter.
Not before I come visit!!
I’ll be in Cincinnati in late July! We’ll have to go out for a drink
Nadya, I would LOVE that! Except let’s make it at least two drinks.
