Sunday’s the day!   As my mom would say, “I’m off like a prom dress!” and I couldn’t be more fired up about it!   I board a flight at 5:29 and for nine days, I’m livin’ in The Motherland of Ireland.  I’ve got all my outfits laid out (like I’m in 6th grade) and toiletries packed,  so now all I need is a plane to take me there.  Oh, and thanks to you all, I have these AWESOME shoes to wear (see below)…so European.  Bear with me, they aren’t 100% practical, but 70% is good enough for me.

I’m going to try to post on my blog (Ok, that sounds too official.  I’ve never had my own blog, but registered one to post for this trip.  May be a total bust.)  Any who, if you’re interested, check it out here.  I am going to try and document some Irish fashion for us.  Should be interesting….I asked a woman that I spoke with at the Dublin hotel what she would wear if she were going out to eat or to a oub.  Response: “Just some nice fitting jeans and I nice top.”  I followed up with “What would you wear to church?”  Answer: “Ugh!  You could wear your bathing suit top and shorts to church!”   Exsqueeze me?  If I heard her correctly, there are either some major cultural differences, or she just goes to a really cool church!

While I’m gone, I would love to hear from you all what you want to hear about from me.  Does that make sense?  I could write about the perfect lip balm and be totally interested, but what in my posts do you all want to know?  Send me your thoughts and I will talk to you all when I get back.

Cheers!
