Seriously? Who would believe this - other than the two women who did? A stranger knocks on my door offering to feel me up is gonna get a kick in the nuts and a slammed door.

omg people are stupid!

Thanks for the link, Spidra. I caved and bought the Kara B bag at Zappos, but now I'm looking at the Soft Cell for my laptop anyway...

Both of those bags looked really nice, Suela. I guess the question is if you carry the laptop all the time or not. If not, it makes sense to invest in a smaller day-to-day bag.

And she doesn't even like to hug!

Heh.

Seriously. Although one time (high school? home from college? I was pretty old) I let some people in who wanted to pray for me or something. Random.

I think that is the best - haveing a laptop bag that doesn't look like a laptop. DH has so many other parts for his ( just call him roadboy)that an envelope would never work. but it might be good for me if "my laptop" ever gets working.

and people stupid- but really - door-to-door breast exams?

and my motivation is low . But DH is still on east coast time. so there was breakfast. and then I cleaned and reorged the laundry areawhich it really need I watched a little bit of tv. He is still in the garage. should I nap or play with beads?

Napping is often a good idea. I would like to nap. Alas, it is not in the cards. I went and Bought Stuff and now I need to finish my paper.

it is cold and rainy and yuck outside. I am in for the rest of the day.

Especially if the stranger looks as skeevy as that guy's mug shot. I mean really.

It is totally cold and nasty here. Thank goodness for Tivo and DVDs.

I vote for beads but that's just because I'm also trying to urge myself to get the flock out of the house and be productive. While seeing loads of ugly shoes yesterday I saw one that had a good idea (while not well-enough realized). They were a pair of slides with round mother-of-pearl beads (flat rounds, not spheres) encrusting the straps. I would like some ballet flats or something of that nature completely encrusted in that. Really really elegant. Like something a tsarina would wear.

beads won. as in I sorted thru a bunch and now have a list of stuff to spend my gift certificate on
