Summer of 2008 arrived around mid July and along with it myriad family problems, the details of which I will not burden you with at the moment. Rather than stick around Chicago I escaped to Green Lake, WI with a few good girlfriends for a girl’s weekend away from responsibilities, cell phone and boys. My girlfriend, KR, was raised on summers in Green Lake and consequently new the neighbors quite well. And so it was that I came to be at a pig roast at the home of an artist whose name I don’t know, but she had a lovely lawn and good guacamole.
Attempting to make us feel comfortable, KR’s mother introduced us to MO, the only other person under 30 at the entire shindig. As it turned out MO was perfectly friendly and talented! MO’s parents also had a lake house a few doors down from the artist, which MO had recently finished redecorating. By “redecorating” I do not mean that she went to Bed Beth & Beyond on a shopping spree. I mean she sewed matching curtains and duvets for the bedrooms, reupholstered the furniture and refinished the floors on her own! She’s wonder woman and could give old Martha a serious run for her money.
Interior design junkie that I am I begged for a tour, to which MO graciously obliged. Imagine my surprise when, in the midst of handmade duvets and power drills, I learned that MO recently moved from Chicago where she had been involved with a company called Nouveau Riche. NR taught people how to do exactly what I wanted to do: Invest in real estate!
MO eagerly offered to connect me with her contact in Chicago to which I ebulliently agreed (nice vocab for a blond huh?). From that point on MO and I were inseperable, which is to say I haven't actually seen her since as she was moving to VA a few days after we met, but we call, e-mail, text and facebook a lot which is basically the same thing.
