I was head of Accounts Receivable. Our company designed the 100 foot level when I was working there. <br /><br />I am sure you must be going to Nordstrom. I like the one in Bellevue Square even better. I got a nice complement on my Halogen boyfriend sweater a couple of days ago. I bought a bright color because I have a lot of black, too. I just button three buttons in the middle. <br /><br />I can't believe the Space Needle is orange again. I get a kick out of it when they do that. It had my college's emblem on the top for a while when we gave more money to charity than the other state college. LOL It wasn't there for long. It is awkward having my school's mascot be a cougar. Lately it just doesn't feel the same saying, "I'm a cougar." :) I mostly say I went to WSU. LOL But not a lot in Seattle. <br /><br />Well, A trip to Seattle always gets me talking. Have a blast and kind wishes to your mom. :)<br /><br />ShereeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-32559693165726033482012-07-05T06:59:39.686-07:002012-07-05T06:59:39.686-07:00I forgot to mention that I bought my first piece o...I forgot to mention that I bought my first piece of Le Creuset 40 years ago.

Thanks for leaving such nice comments on my reawakened blog!<br /><br />I'd love to be a minimalist, but I'm not organized enough ... with my luck, those perfect black pants will be at the dry cleaner's just when they're needed most. <br /><br />The short ribs sound great ... I usually cook James and Martha Villas's from <i>My Mother's Southern Kitchen.</i> I'd love an alternative. Do tell us how they turned out.

Then some surgery which will be a forced stay-cation. I belong to a swim club and will be anxious to return. Trip to Ireland in the fall (first time). So being out of commission for awhile will be followed by a long awaited vacation. While home, I may try the 333 Project or at least try a very refined closet.Kristien62https://www.blogger.com/profile/04141776821818167047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5385735624350758337.post-44088077140863420882012-07-04T22:38:46.723-07:002012-07-04T22:38:46.723-07:00mette,
