As some of you already know, my other half spends a good chunk of her spare time doing community theater here in Indianapolis. That means every once in a while you’re going to have to put up with me promoting her shows just because I think she’s awesome and I want everyone else to know she’s awesome. (She tells other people about my blog, so it evens out. Marriage is all about give and take.)

This month Kristin’s in The Who’s Tommy at Footlite Musicals, so you should probably go see it if you live within 300 miles of Indy. She plays the Hawker, plus 2 different moms because she’s 30 now and life is cruel. But she wears the heck out of some faux leather leggings. There are shows this Thursday through Sunday – tickets available here!

OK, now it’s time to go back to promoting myself: Look at this adorable dress I wore to go see Tommy at Footlite Musicals! (Have you seen it? You totally should.)

There aren’t very many household chores I enjoy. Just ask the dust bunnies in my bathroom. They’ve known me a long time. But there’s one chore I love doing, and maybe it’s because I only have to do it twice a year. That chore is…my seasonal closet switch. Every spring I put away my sweaters and boots and unpack my shorts and sandals. It never fails that there are things I forgot I had and it’s like Christmas and my birthday all at once. But better, because I picked everything out myself and I know it fits. (Speaking of fitting, at the bottom of one of my out-of-season clothes tubs, I found the verrrrry fitted sequin skirt I wore to junior prom. It still fits!)

One of the things I pulled out of storage last week was this yellow polka dot skirt. It was probably the brightest, most cheerful thing I purchased last summer, so I decided it belonged with something equally bright like my hot pink bag. I look a little bit like a handful of Chiclets, but who doesn’t love Chiclets? Crazy people and diabetics, that’s who.

Does anyone else love unpacking out-of-season clothes? Does anyone not love Chiclets? Share in the comments, which I promise I read, I’m just too lazy to respond to them all.
