Goodbye July, Hello August...where did the summer go?
First Real Estate, then onto the double bonus information...I have fun shopping items for those looking for a little something to keep them toasty in this "global warming" summer. Gore Schmore is all I'm sayin'.

Onto some shopping!
It was one of those great weather weeks, so I got myself some hot lookin' rain boots from DAV Rain Fashion (that can be worn in all weather, even winter with some thicker socks.) I told my husband they have been in my closet for two years and will be admitting myself to the 12-Step Program after I get just one more pair. For Jody, my shoe fetish BFF, I bought the Flirt Rain Boots....in solid black...they're sooo comfy. You can find the line on sale at a bunch of different websites, or where I got them in Walker, MN for $35.00.
Also, I met the designer of KickAssFashions for lunch this week, Kelly Schultz. I bought three super hot hats from her – hats you won't find in any stores yet. She's running her boutique online and get this...she's Kickin' A$$! If you're looking for a one of kind hat, at some kick butt prices, check out her store! (Note to Lisa, Teresa and the rest of my local boutique owner friends, call Kelly quickly.)
One more thing, I guess I'm going to jail. This is what happens when you drink too much and someone calls you to join their charity movement. "Sure!" I said as I sipped my Merlot. "That sounds fun!" Then they proceeded to tell me that they bring me to jail and I have to raise $1,600.00 or I don't get out. If it weren't a good cause, Muscular Dystrophy, I'd stay in jail just to bug Police Chief John Gannaway. Please donate here, even five dollars would be huge! Thank you.
Then, call me to buy a house. We're kickin' arse back at Karin Housley Headquarters, so give us a call – free pair of rubber boots for every buyer or seller. (I didn't say they'd be new.)
Happening in the Area This Week – Be sure to check out Summer Tuesdays this Tuesday night in Lowell Park in Stillwater. I'll be the guest host for the National Night Out. I'll be introducing the Lumberjack Days Talent show winner at 5:00, the musical guest – Redpath at 7:30, and then the movie at nine, E.T.! Schedule for the remainder of summer is here.
Radio Show – Tune into the Karin Housley Show this Saturday morning at 10:00 CST. Guests are a surprise, to me too. ;) I'm thinking it's time for a Chief Gannaway update...hmmm....what will he cook up for us.
Have a great week, and let's hope August is warmer!!

P.S. Julie's been a little quiet since she called the news media and asked them why they were focusing so much attention on the little beer summit at the White House this past week. She said nobody cares when she entertains professors with a Bud Light on her South Lawn. Then I saw her shipping a case of Leinenkugel to the President with a note that said something about having good taste.
