Where am I?

Hmmm…Seems like I need to catch you up…
I arrived in Dallas on Saturday, September 5th.  The flights from Anchorage to DFW were uneventful except for a slight delay that made for a rather entertaining mad dash through the Seattle airport.  I was greeted at the airport by two really special people and promptly made my way [...]

To Quote My Boss, Part 2

Did you enjoy this post?  If so…you will probably enjoy Part 2 of…random things my boss says to me.
We are sitting in his office discussing carpool plans for a funeral the office is attending this afternoon.  (A board member’s wife passed away.)
I say… “I’m glad that I remembered to wear funeral appropriate clothing today.”
And he [...]

A Post About The Inauguration

I haven’t watched much inauguration coverage today.  Mostly b/c I live in Alaska which gives me a time zone handicap.  I plan on catching up later…because I’m quite sure they will be replaying it.
Let’s talk about the important part though. 
The clothes.
Michelle Obama hit it out of the park.
Say what you want about politics…but that woman [...]

Virtual Model

I’ve been shopping on-line today looking for a new bathing suit.  I found one I really liked at Lands End…but it was a lot more than I wanted to spend.  I kept looking anyway.
And then I noticed that you could try the suits on a “virtual model”. 
So I did.
You put your weight, height, and body [...]

Are You KIDDING ME?

So there I was…driving to Target and talking on the phone to my friend Angie.  I was telling her that it was finally over zero degrees for the first time in two weeks.  I was joking that the 1 degree weather almost felt warm. Joking.
And then I walked into Target.  And saw the new display [...]

The Anatomy of a Winter

Although winter does not technically start for a few weeks, the season is alive and well here in Alaska.  In fact, when I talk to folks from the lower 48 (typically Texans), their first questions to me are almost always about the weather, the snow, or the driving conditions. 
My mom (EVERYTIME I TALK TO HER) [...]

360 Days Left

I’ve been working on a list of “30 Things To Do Before I’m 30″.  It was the suggesting of a dear Dallas friend.  (and this is in addition to the YOS)
I’ve listed some things that I’ve never done and some things that I want to do again.  Also…I didn’t make it to 30.  I quit [...]

Something I Think About

*A Saturday morning rambling insight into how petty and vain I truly am.*
I’ve always LOVED clothes and shoes.  All of my friends know that about me.  Now…I’m not saying that I’m always on trend…nor do I try to be.  BUT, I’ve always loved dressing for the occasion and having fun with it.
Needless to [...]

The Happiest Place on Earth?

Disney World?
Nope.
The correct answer is…THE ANCHORAGE TARGET.
It opened to the public today. I went. Almost cried. Seriously. Purchased lip gloss and a book for my plane ride tomorrow night. Almost bought about a billion other things. Seriously considered a blue corduroy trench coat. Might go back for that one.
I meant to take my camera so [...]

Target

Does it amuse anyone other than me, that after all of my talk and obsession with the new Target store…I won’t actually be in Alaska to attend the grand opening?
