Welcome to The People's Closet!

So this may be a little early however, my fellow bloggers may be interested in my newest non-profit venture.

It is called The People's Closet. It is a Clothing Exchange organization in which you can trade in childrens and adults clothing of different sizes for those in need!

It is also going to offer free Clothing Exchange Parties, etc.

More information can be found here!

What we need: clothing, donations, sponsors, etc.

Please contact info@thepeoplescloset.org for additional information. These times are tough for all but together we can make a difference!

You'll find 'Real Simple' atop my toilet.

How I'd spend $1,000

I would spend about $100 at Sephora - stock up on makeup, moisturizers, products, etc. for the next year!



I would put about $200 in the bank for next year's Christmas gifts - I know kinda lame....



I would spend $100 on Red Sox tickets for D and myself!



I would spend $100 at IKEA buying odds and ends to organize house.



I would spend $25 to clean my carpets.



I would spend $100 at the Jcrew outlet on a few new summer items.



I would spend the last $375 on outstanding bills!

Things I'm loving right now....

1. Baseball Season -

The Red Sox make me happy; I feel like a kid again; the sun is shining and I'm so excited!

2. Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs -

I have succesfully eaten wayyyyy too many to count. I'm seriously full from too many
eggs; who would've thought that was possible? Time to start my 21 day fast...

3. Polo's new section for the family -

You can now go on and find matching outfits for your whole family. For our Disney trip in the
fall, we are going to be that family, and now Ralph Lauren is helping make this much easier!

Check it out here.

4. Black Eyed Peas Boom Boom Pow -

This song is GREAT!!! It is not only great to run to, but also when cleaning house it literally
pumps you up! I'm so glad the Black Eyed Peas are back together. Now, if I could only figure
out a way to get tickets to Kiss concert I could see them in person!

5. My family -

It is not often you can sit back and appreciate them but, I am taking time out to do this
today. They may drive me crazy at time but I love each and every one of them to death!!!

Til Death do they part.....

I'm in D and C's wedding on May 16th. I'm super excited to see all my college friends, and cannot wait to see D in her dress! I'm a bridesmaid, not something I enjoy but am looking forward to being part of their special day.

This is what I'm thinking for the rehearsal dinner:
Rehearsal Dinner...
Rehearsal Dinner... by casualchic05 featuring Elizabeth and James rings

Thoughts??? I already have the shoes and cardigan, just need the sweater and ring is optional. After all, any gold ring will do...or perhaps I'll have an engagement ring by then which then of course will have to redo the gold themed outfit. I'm not sure exactly what the style etiquette is as far as when wearing fun gold jewelery is is it okay to wear white gold engagement ring???

For the wedding itself, our dresses are Ann Taylor strapless in a light blue taffeta with silver shoes. They are super cute, and yes despite the cliched statement "you can wear them again."

Now I just need to buy my plane ticket however, my boy and I might want to fly from Charlotte to Florida after the wedding. We just went to Disney in January however, we may go again. This spa is just fantastic!

Our other options that we are thinking are possibly flying to Atlantis, New Orleans, or Miami. I haven't been to any of these locations; D has and thinks they could be a great alternative to what we consider our safety vacation at Disney.

Things I'm loving right now.....

1. I'm loving buying shower/wedding gifts. I have two on May 16th that I've been invited to. One, is my big sis who's wedding is in Georgia; shower April 25th in Charlotte and I will not be attending either however, will purchase a gift for both. The other one on May 16th is in Charlotte, I am in it and shower on April 11th; I will be buying a gift for the shower and am a bridesmaid in the wedding. Ideas to come shortly.

2. Planning my next trip to Disney - yes its not until October 2009 but it is never too early to start planning.

3. Training for my 5K. I am not a runner and just as surprised as you are that I will be running this but am excited to do it! My brother, who is a trained runner got me to sign up with him and will be running the same race with me. He will most definitely run faster(he can run like 6 or 7 minute mile) but as long as I finished, I'm good with that.

4.
This new dress I bought from here. It is super cute, on sale, and perfect for the summer. I am always cautious when buying yellow since I have blonde hair however, the model in the photo is blonde also and looks good so I'm thinking it's a go.
Could perhaps be a contender for rehearsal dinner in May?

Happy Opening Day!!!!!!

D is attending opening day today. I think it is going to rain but if not I hope he enjoys himself. I would love to go, but realize its his thing and should not be jealous. I have work to do, and should clean the house and do laundry.


It is crazy to have such a love for the Red Sox. I have, ever since I can remember, been a SOX FAN! I am extra excited because it is possible that Senator Ted Kennedy could be throwing out the first pitch. As much fun as it would to be there, watching it from my couch with a cup of coffee doesn't sound too bad seeing how its raining out.

When I think of the sport itself, it has a nostalgic feeling and makes me think of one of my most recent reads by Alyssa Milano. While at first I would be ashamed to admit I read this, I would recommend it only to those who are baseball fans. Even though she is referencing being a Dodgers fan, and I am straight up RED SOX, I think there is so much I actually can relate to. There is something about going to a baseball game; whether its the draft beer, grape bubblegum, or music playing on the soundsystem it brings you back to the feeling of being five years old again.


I think that especially with our country the way it is today, it's nice to reminisce and be nostalgic for those younger days. I give her 2 thumbs up for writing this book, and its nice to see something other than a traditional celebrity memoir. This book puts a twist on baseball, and life. I like it!


Let's hope that the game is played, the Red Sox win, and that D has a great time and makes it home safe and sound!
I will say its nice when he spends the day with the boys because I essentially have the day to myself! I can stay in bed until 11am and I know he won't call for a report on how much work I've done yet. GO TEAM GO!





I'm back - Does anyone read this?









So I'm officially bored....I am watching the 5th episode in a row of Jon and Kate plus 8. They just moved into a new house, and got two puppies.

So now I'm thinking I could definitely have kids soon, and puppies. I agree with Jon and Kate in that I would be less scared to have a baby then a puppy?

So what's new? I have officially started working for D part time which has its ups and downs; ups are that I'm working from home but downs would be that my boyfriend is my sorta boss:O

I took the MTEL test on Saturday. I'm wishing and hoping that I passed. I always get nervous when I think I did well on something, it normally seems to backfire. Here's hoping.

Oh and FYI I'm still not convinced on this whole twitter thing?

Stuck in an elevator with my boyfriend

When I grow up...

Wow....when exactly will I be a grown up? I would love to be a writer, own my won business, or a wife and a mother...
