Four Things I'm Happy About

While there are a number of things that I am happy about, there are four things at this current moment that I'm almost giddy about....

1. I am the BEST shoe shopper in the world. As you may recall from a previous post (Kate Spade is Trying to Kill Me), I am a shoe-aholic. With that addiction being acknowledged, I went out on e-Bay and did a search on Kate Spade, which is the object of my current obsession. I found a multitude of her shoes and made bids on 2 pair, a lovely chocolate patent and a camel patent. Well, I won the bids and they arrived yesterday. Of course, I didn't pay anywhere near what the market price is for the shoes, even thought they were new and in the box. So, for those of you keeping score...in the past 2 months I have purchased 3 pairs of Kate Spade shoes for less than a single pair would be at the store at regular price. See, I AM the best shoe shopper in the world.

2. I have signed a lease and am picking up the keys on my brand new apartment in San Francisco tomorrow. This country mouse is finally moving up town!! I'm sure that I'll have more over the coming month, both good and bad, about my trials and tribulations of getting moved. But for now.... Woo Hoo!! I'm very excited!!

3. My big sister is coming to visit me in two days and is going to spend the WHOLE weekend with me!! I don't think the two of us have been out on the town together, just the two of us, for an extended period of time since I was 16 and went to visit her in her dorm room in college. The only other time I can think that we were on our own was when we drove up to visit our Grandmother, but we had my niece and nephew with us, so there wasn't a whole lot of party, party, party going on. We are going to do the wine country one day, and I even have another friend who is going to drive us so that I don't have to be designated driver this time!! And we are going to explore San Francisco and do all the fun touristy stuff together another day like Chinatown (where I'm going to pick up some chop-stick training wheels) and the cable cars and Fisherman's Wharf, and Ghiradelli Square.... I CAN'T WAIT!!!

4. Now I can't remember the last thing that I'm happy about. I had four things in mind as I was standing at the microwave heating up my Lean Cuisine, but this last one has completely slipped through the recessed of my gray matter..... If it comes back to me, I'll update the blog.

I hope all of you, my devoted readers, have happy thoughts and happy times right now as well. I like to share my joy when I have it!!

What a great post! I'm so happy that you're happy!

1. I'm envious of your Kate Spade-shopping bounty!

2. Congratulations on your new digs!

3. I will be spending time with my two sisters very soon, and cannot wait - but it's a surprise for one of them so I can't blog about it!

4. Ha! This happens to me quite often!

...And your mother says...HAVE A Great time!!! I know my little girls will really enjoy themselves!! I am a little jealous...I would like to join you but I think it is great that the two of you are getting together; you should do it more often!!

I am happy for you for your four things... whatever that fourth one might be :) I can't believe our country mouse is making her way into the big city. You've come a long way, chica! Once you conquer the city, though, Texas is waiting for you :)

Have fun wine tasting. People tell me that even when you're not the DD that you're supposed to swirl and then spit. That just seems offensive to the poor wine, imo. Hope you have a weekend of being non-offensive!

I agree with Queen B and I am proud of you too. It was great to see you so decisive with your decision to sign the lease. It will be a great hangout place when Queen B visits.

I think the 4th thing you are grateful for is that you will have a good friend living nearby:-)!

Wow! That is all great! I totally understand the forgetting the 4th...I actually stopped talking in mid-sentence the other day because I completely forgot what I was talking about!!!

1 thing I am not happy about... no blog in 10 days! Jeez, it's like you have a time consuming job these days, or something ;)
