Last Thursday in CA
It’s our last Thursday in California—our first last day. For the past seven months or so, ever since Andrew went back to work and I started having whole days alone with Lucia, I’ve looked forward to Thursdays. Thursday meant there was just one day to go before the weekend, when Andrew would be around; Thursday meant our evening of shows (The Office, Parks & Recreation, 30 Rock), something to look forward to after long, often teary days with the baby. The days haven’t been teary for quite a while now, of course, but Thursday still always seems like a good day, just a short hop to the weekend. Who knows what Thursdays will look like now?
It probably says something about my current mindset—my anticipation of a brand-new life—that I foresee even ordinary weekdays as being somehow transformed by this move.
Andrew, too, is anticipating a life that will be all-new. Last night, coming home after an evening round of golf and dinner with some co-workers, he remarked on the beautiful night—the clear blue open sky, the nice drive home to our cozily lit house—and said it had struck him that no part of that night would be replicated in NYC.
It’s notable that he made this observation without having read my blog from yesterday, which said exactly the same thing. We are, eerily, becoming even more like-minded, if that’s even possible. Last week, as Andrew loaded some things into the car to take to Goodwill, I began having regrets about a particular item as soon as he carried it out the door. I planned to tell him I’d changed my mind about it—and then, lo and behold, there he was at the door, holding that very item in his hand. He, too, had had a change of heart.
Lucia is napping, and I’m here writing a somewhat disjointed blog post because I have absolutely no idea what to do with myself. There’s so much to do; yet there’s so little I actually have to do, since the movers are doing all the work. Aimless wandering may be what fills this weekend.

It is hard to say goodbye. Hard to change. And hard to have someone else pack for you!!
But I wouldn't trade being closer to family for anything. Especially now that I have kids. As scary as it was to move, it didn't replace the happiness I felt.

Many people walk into Tiffany and co because they figure silver pendants are the best. Why settle for anything else, right? I can't argue that Tiffany bracelets has built a fantastic business. Looking at it strictly as a businessman I love what they have done. But from a customers viewpoint I cringe at the thought of buying from them. When you shop at silver charms , you are buying a name.
Chanel Wallet features the iconic Chanel quilted patter exterior as well as a darling resin peal clasp closure. The simple but gorgeous diamond-type lattice cast an enduring fascination. The black/white color makes Chanel bag versatile for evening use to compliment practically any outfit. The dimensions are 14"L x 1"W x 8"H. For Chanel bags it maybe a bit large but the framed silhouette and adorable attached coin purse give this oversized chanel watches a decidedly vintage look and feel.
