Closet Raid

This weekend we headed 300 miles south to St. George Utah. Both sets of parentals live there and we have some friends that really know how to throw a killer Halloween party. We thought we'd go for a super quick trip given that I would be working at a trade show in Vegas this entire week and I could just head another hour and change south to the land of sin from there.

Due to some unbelievable events that have taken place in Chad's family, we always stay with my parents which afforded an opportunity to visit with my mom for a few hours. I was incredibly grateful for the leather jacket she had given to me a few weeks back and wondered what other treasures might be lurking in her closet. Unfortunately, that is, depending upon your POV, I was never able to raid my mom's closet when I was a teenager. As a matter of fact, I've never been able to raid anyone's closet or trade clothes when on girls trips to Vegas (which I wish we were still doing BTW).

Although I didn't end up "borrowing" anything for the trip, Mom has some great stuff. It's just too bad her feet aren't as gigantic as my flesh covered longboards; I might have had myself a complete outfit! Besides, I don't think I can stuff another thing in this dang suitcase. Its so heavy right now that I am a bit concerned I am going to get charged for being overweight on the flight home. Imagine that..... Once upon a time I was getting concerned about being charged extra on flights for being overweight myself and now I am just concerned for my suitcase!

All that being said, it is pretty damn gratifying knowing that I am able to trade clothes now. I know that closet raids and trading clothes doesn't happen much when you are a card carrying member of the adult club, but it sure is nice to think that it could! Yay for being a regular size!

Next stop, the Cosmopolitan....
