My mother’s china has been packed in a box for 27 years.
I have taken it with me from city to city, to nine different homes, but have never had the cabinet space to display it.
Well, today it sees the light!
Isn’t it beautiful?
After all those moves, I unwrapped each piece with some trepidation, but only one was broken.
It somehow seems fitting.
I handed over the keys for my New York City apartment to my broker on Thursday and flew off to Chicago.
My new place won’t be ‘mine’ until Tuesday, so until then, business trips — and generous cousins in a nearby burb — are providing shelter.
I’m used to living out of a suitcase, so this vagabond period doesn’t really bother me. But it is somewhat disconcerting to not have keys to anything.
We spend so much time looking for our keys, carrying them, losing them, finding them…and now, I got nuthin.
My cousins, on the other hand….
They’re just showing off.

I used to think, incorrectly, that the common housefly lives less than a week.
Thanks to the Google machine, I have since learned that a fly can live 15+ days in the wild, and 30 days in optimal conditions.
What are optimal conditions?
The temps available in your home. Or, I should say, my home.
I have had a fly buzzing around my apartment for almost a week. He only reveals himself once or twice a day.
I haven’t been able to swat him, and I haven’t been able to get him to go out the door.
And really, why would he?
He’s got it made here.
Can’t imagine my apartment without bookshelves in every room!
Ebooks are convenient , but real books feel, smell and look so good.
Hug a book today!
Today the Sticky Egg became a great aunt for the very first time!
Welcome Baby Charlotte!
And thanks for letting me model your baby beanie. You’re a good egg already.
Chill
Samsung, I already love your brand. I’ve traveled up your smartphone chain to my current Galaxy5.
Satisfied customer, I am.
I’m a city chick who already uses Fresh Direct for my grocery delivery, so imagine how excited I am to have two of my favorite brands working together to make my life easy peasy.
It’s like the Jetsons, it is.
And when life starts to look and feel like the Jetsons, it’s a very good day indeed.
