as long as it was leather with a wide shoulder strap, black, messenger-style with a pouch on the outside of the flap, NON-VELCRO close, and had many pen holders.
This is EXACTLY the bag I'm looking for now. But I need it for $100 or less (altough if someone wanted to give me a $500 one I'd be more than happy to accept it). I am kind of clueless about where to even look though.
I turned on CBS at 7:30 and it was an insanely inane local "news" program. I'm sorry I missed the makeover. I love makeovers! Sounds like it was fun.
Oh, I meant to mention. I got given a french press for Christmas and I've never used one. The instructions came in every human written language, but don't say anything about how much coffee you should use. Any suggestions out there?
JSw, I use a tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee per *mug* (b/c when the instructions say "a cup," well, a coffee mug holds more than an actual 8-oz cup). However, I like my coffee as dark as Dark Willow, so take that into consideration in reading my recommendation.
Soy latte right into the expensive bag.
Sisters in fashion disasters. I once dumped one of my uniform hats into (flushed, but still) toilet. Those buggers were not cheap to replace, yet it got replaced.
When I was working, I would spend money on clothes. As long as whatever you're spending on isn't so trendy that it would look dated in a season or two, it can be a good investment. Cut, fit, materials, workmanship, are somewhat price subjective.
I can't really wear wool these days. It itches too much, so most of the stuff I like that I can wear, isn't going to be expensive. I will pay money for coats, and things like that.
Good shoes are worth the money. The fit and look better, but I don't really have need of them, these days.
the shoes clock in at an affordable $235
See, I have no problem with paying $235 for shoes if I love the shoes. I do have a humongous problem with calling them "affordable". No, my darling, they are not affordable to most of us, and it's patronising and insulting to call it that.
Gods, I am weary.
I have spent $200+ for a suit for work, back when I had to look a certain way for the corporate world, and I've spent $80 for running shoes, but that's about it.
I do own all five seasons of Babylon 5, though. The Puritans kicked my ancestors out of Massachusetts.
You're welcome!
ION -- Ahahahahahahahaaaaaaa!!! Chatty!co-worker just told me a story about his 7-year-old son: the son comes back from spending the night at a buddy's house, and the following conversation ensues:
Chatty: "Did you have fun, buddy?"
Son: "We played a ton of board games. And Jenga! That doesn't have a board."
Chatty: "What else did you play?"
Son: "Tommy and I played Nazi!"
[crickets]
[light bulb goes on]
Chatty: "I think you mean Yahtzee."
Mine too, Ginger. Did your guys go to RI, too? Also, the ones that didn't get run out then, ran off to Canada during the Revolution.
