What do you hear?
I'm sitting in my living room watching the end of The Wedding Planner.
Our windows are open. I can hear police sirens, a trumpet player and someone singing opera outside. I love the sound track of this city. (Most of the time.)
I hear little kids playing outside - must be field day at Brinker Elementary, overlapped by husky exhaust pipes of pickups and Tahoes rumbling out of the PWHS parking lot for first lunch. I hear a few birds chirping - those that dare approach a house with three cats. And I hear a pair of 3am-ers stirring, catching hold of the fact that it's nearly time to wake up - or as we adults call it - lunchtime!
I live in New York City. Love it. Grew up in Dallas, Texas. Miss it. Graduated from Auburn University. 13 reasons to treasure it. So now I work at arguably the world's largest Ad Agency (but let's not argue). By day, I'm disguised as an Art Buyer, but the rest of the time, I'm the Mayor of Street Merch. You know, found furniture left out on the city streets. It's my sworn duty to repair, repaint or repurpose as much of it as I can. After a thrilling experience on HGTV, I knew that home design and lifestyle hosting is exactly what I love doing.
Stay tuned on that, while I sort it all out right here before your eyes. Read on!
