Morning's Light

Above are photos from Janet Moran's Chicago apartment.  She and her husband are moving to Munster, IN, to a modern home there that cost the same as their condo yet is only 30 minutes from The Loop in Chicago.  Sounds like the best of both worlds. While I drool over photos of her new home in Munster and would like to make plans to move there mself if I could transport my friends, family, church and work there, I'll be satisfied if I can recreate the arrangement of photos in the IKEA clip frames above.

The weekend was full, interesting, and busy.  Found some great items at rummage sales (thus the twittered I LOVE RUMMAGE SALES on Saturday), celebrated Kirsten's birthday, and learned that it's not nice when a quiet girl behind you in line asks to go ahead of you but neglects to mention she's with a PARTY OF 10.  At least she was gracious enough to let us go back ahead of her so she could be united with her friends and family.

At another meal, the waitress spent the hour calling me sweetie, dearie, and finally BABY (she did NOT just do that!!!)  and I'd never met her before.  Not cool, DEARIE!

Found a Too Good to be True parking spot Saturday night at the lakefront with no fewer than three events occurring at the same time (a wine tasting, a multiple-famous-bands concert, and a museum event or Harley event or something) right at the water next to a fancy schmancy restaurant.  Wanted to sit in my car all night and savor my good fortune. 

Cleaned on Sunday – in 3 minute bursts of activity….. because the leasing agent would be accompanying the fire department today and entering every condo/apartment and I wanted mine to sparkle and give of the homey impression that it's like this 100% of the time….the equivalent of someone dressing up in a fancy gown and then saying, "This ol' thing?  I just threw it on last minute."
