For the last five days, I've been relaxing with my parents here in Kansas City and catching up on my domestic skills. We've been gardening (I'm bringing home-grown garlic back with me), sewing (I made my very own shirt from Amy Butler's fabric and pattern- and it's adorable - I'm wearing it now!), cooking (we're having stuffed shells for dinner - DELISH), shopping (Hello, Anthropologie), hemming pants (for a second interview), making earrings (for fun), and even polishing shoes (because my parents have the gear and I have the time). Phew - who knew relaxation could produce such wonderful results?
Tomorrow I return to Knoxville and will be required to run off the plane and into the car so I can immediately begin tackling the growing "to-do" list that awaits. Paint colors are waiting to be finalized, painting needs to be completed, cabinets need to be purchased from IKEA - in Atlanta - and husbands need to be hugged.
Well, one husband, in particular.
