<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Back when I was a starter wife I lived in Westchester for a few years.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><em>Ahh, the things you do for love.

</em></span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">That was back when everyone around me owned a Lexus LS, Tiffany jewelry, the same style Movado watch and a Nextel phone that went <em>click click</em> on my frickin nerves.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt"><em>Yea, real independent thinkers there.

</em></span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I've since moved back home to Manhattan, began a different life and very seldom look back at the time I like to call "Duh, you married a Teamster!"

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Except when I come across the photos I had to fight my second husband in order to keep... and then I stroll down memory lane. It's usually pleasant.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Strolling through the few years in suburbia when I carried kate spade is one thing. Putting on a DVF dress and walking right back into it is another thing.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Even years after my suburban life came crashing down; I feel stress at the thought of going back there.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Back into what I have worked so very hard to move on from.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I always knew the day (or night) would come when I'd have to socialize in Westchester again.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">So tonight, I'm going back.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">It's been years. I didn't exactly leave Westchester the ideal way. And I definitely have some feelings about the people and place that taught me some fine life lessons.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But because my Maid of Honor is a dear friend and still lives there, I'll be there tonight.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Scar tissue and all.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I keep wondering if I will see people from my old life.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">And if they will be kind when they see the extra twenty pounds that have joined me in my new life.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Wish me luck. Tonight I'm moving backwards.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Except this time, I'm carrying Marc Jacobs and wearing YSL.

</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I'm ready. I've been waiting for tonight.
