Random funny tangent "What can Brown do for you?". Um, you can start by never referring to yourself as BROWN. That's gross, UPS! (as seen on some random website just now)
So, yeah. Yesterday my mom came down. Brought her pc over with its apparently once again broken hard drive. We went to the mall and she wanted to buy me a new pocketbook. The one I have I love and all but now with my sunglasses case (I never used to carry the case to my glasses in my bag because I never needed to take them off while out) in there, it was too small and things were literally bulging out the top. We went to Burdines first and I saw one I really loved. But it was pricey and I put it down and looked through the rest. Anything I liked was too small or in really ugly colors. The one I originally picked out was this really awesome shade of red leather. So, my mom had them hold the one I liked - despite my protests that it was frivolous because of cost - and we went to two further stores. By this point, I really couldn't appreciate any other bags because I couldn't find any in that kind of red. I've never had a red bag before - instead always going for the more sedate black or dark brown - so it was weird how much I really loved that color. (Though the color is the same kind as an impossible $800 red leather chair I obsess over at Bombay company.) But I was just spellbound by that color. In the end, I really wasn't happy with anything else. Things that were ok where almost as much as the first one anyway and no where near as well liked. So, in the end, my mom ended up getting it for me because she knew I really like it the best and we decided that it would be my birthday present. Normally she gets me some small jewlery item and I made her promise that she wouldn't and this would be it instead. I didn't mind that I got it two montsh early; I really just fell in love with it. So, as absurdly silly as it sounds, I'm enamoured with my new purse. It holds everything, the strap's perfect, it's got pretty stitching on it, I love the color, it's the perfect size, etc. I've never really been that excited over something so normally practical for me in my life, but I like it, my mom likes it and even my Love thinks its a classy bag. *laughs* How silly to be talking so much about a purse! Well enough babbling about it, might as well show it to you:
Hrm...I had something else to talk about but darned if I can remember. I need to upload some pics to show off my new glasses and sunglasses. Just been lazy. (even the pic of the bag I snagged from Fossil's website) I think I feel like taking a shower, and since I heard the dryer stop a little while ago, I know I have some clean towels in there. (four to be exact. stupid mini w/d for apartments. yeah it's better then nothing, but having room to do only 4 towels means a LOT of loads)
Oh well. Alrighty. Think I'll close for now. Shower, get dressed and check the mail. Sounds like an exciting afternoon, hu? :)
edit: Ugh...it pains my heart. The Bombay Company chair I mentioned I love is now on clearance. *waaaa* That means I'll really never be able to get it since they'll be gone soon and there's no way I'll ever have the money for it. You can bask in how lovely it is...
See the product info here. *sniffles* damned being poor.
