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.

How is it Monday again already? My parents came to visit from North Carolina on Friday, then we spent the weekend taking in some culture and a lot of good food and beverages, and now suddenly it’s time to go back to work. That’s the problem with a really good weekend – it goes by fast and makes Monday a little more painful. Maybe it should be my goal to make next weekend really horribly boring. Yes, that seems like the most reasonable plan. In the meantime, I’ll adjust back to normal life as I always do – by wearing cute work outfits and being generally awesome.
