Top Five Things

The top five non-relational things I will miss about Kansas City:

5. Snow (it’s pretty to look at anyway, and yummy to eat)
4. No traffic problems
3. The colors of autumn
2. Trees, hills & other nature type things
1. The Country Club Cafe (Also known as the location for our going away party, Thursday from 7-9pm. I hope you can come!)

Now that I am done grieving, the top five non-relational things I look forward to in Dallas:

5. Warm weather
4. A variety of good eateries, markets, galleries, clubs, bands, cafes, shopping….
3. Dallas Museum of Art & the Aquarium (I know that’s technically two)
2. IKEA
1. Sundance Square in Fort Worth

(If I went into relational things, there wouldn’t be enough time in the world to read all I need to write…)

    I LOVE IKEA! I got to go for the first time over here in Germany, and it is GREAT! It’s just fun to walk through. It’s the hot spot here on the weekends…the traffic gets lined up all the way to the Autobahn!

    IIIKKKEEEAAAAAA!!!!

    *calming self back down*

    I LOVE IKEA!!!

    JJ, Tiff, & I went there 2 Fridays ago.

    I have to pre-plan whether I will spend money & how much – long before I ever walk through those doors.

    Have I told you recently how excited I am that you’re coming?!?

    I’m really, REALLY excited!!!

    As you pack, know that you first favorite Texas friend (sorry, Luka, I met her first) is packing too.

    I hate packing, so it’s actually kinda nice to know that you & Chris, and Tiff are also packing – cause there are SO MANY THINGS I’d rather be doing. :)

    *like procrastinating packing more, by posting here ;) *

    Just in case you don’t track back to see my response, I will post it here.

    Ha ha! Wouldn’t that be funny if it was the same shirt! But mine doesn’t have a blue cami or little jewely sparkle things… so sad. Can we still be friends?

    ps… are you sure you aren’t secretly moving to California? I could easily convince myself that “Texas” is code for “north of mexico on the pacific coast.” see the connection?

    i don’t think i said…. “i took it down” – my exact phrasing was, “i will take it down” – so there… but if it makes you happy now it is now taken down… but the text remains.

    thank ya… thank ya, very much…

    IKEA is a swedish store, and a mecca for inexpensive, stylish, fun furniture and accessories. and Anne – just as further incentive for a F2F meeting, I can see IKEA from my front yard… :)
