Imagine my delight when I found out about these giant maps on Amazon.  For less than $12 we ordered this giant fabric map for the basement.  We had to wait 5 weeks for it to arrive (!), but it was worth it.  It actually cost more to buy the rings and hooks to hang it…

And this meme made me laugh so hard I couldn’t breathe.

Truth be told there are LOTS of regions on that map that would not be nearly as easy to live in as NY,

BUT there are only one or two states that I would like to live in LESS than NY these days. 

We need shoes – please open shoe stores!
