Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Perkins, that's great!

Beverly, I completely understand. The whole point of carrying a bag around is to have with you what you want/need, so it's easy to get carried away. All of those things you listed sound perfectly reasonable to me!

Well, maybe it is time I tell you all............I am Craig Ferguson.

Have I told you my ideas for his shows? I think he should do a week of all Scottish guests. Then a week of all Fergusons. Then a week of all Craigs. They should hire me, right?

Yay Perkins!

The most I've ever spent on a purse was slightly over $100, but it was a specific design with loops for holding a folding parasol. I need to dig it out tonight and reinforce the stitches that are holding the skeleton hand on it.

I should go get my brows cleaned up. They're a good shape, there are just some strays that I could make someone else deal with.

Exactly.

The weeks in France were some of the best/funniest late night TV I've ever seen. I adore him. Stephen does, too, actually. I think we *both* want to marry him.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

The only thing I ever use that's close to a purse is this awesome rag handmade thing that someone else fixed for me years later. I put my knitting in it. Then I walk around pretending it's a purse, but I'm always busted because then I pull my wallet out of my cargos.

So today I went out for my constitutional, and it was awful. Super muddy and slick. I almost called the SO to tell him not to go out, the roads were so bad.

Turns out I should have, because he got into a wreck. Single car, he's okay, but he's at the shop and he can fix the mirror for $336 or all the damage for $5000. For a car we got free. Yeah, that's not happening. Sucks! But I'm glad he's okay.

But seriously, yo, we need all wheel drive.

I still remember at the San Francisco F2F you asking someone to hand you your purse and - for some reason - felt the need to describe it. The pink, coffin-shaped purse.

The phone hasn't rung in an hour and a half.

So I turned my attentions once more to what the hell I want to do with the rest of my life, and I made the mistake of going to the website for Oxford University, and I think I want to take every single postgrad program they have. I am in academic bliss reading these course listings.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

My one true bag -- and I mean one true bag, for I only ever use the one -- is from Queen Bee Creations. Apparently they call this style "Truckette"? [link]

Mine has a different design but is otherwise the same. It's small enough to be cute & easy to carry around, but big enough to carry everything I need, including a book, a notebook, phone, wallet, keys, iPod, chapstick, pens, gum, etc. etc. And I love that the strap can be made long enough so you can carry it across your body like a messenger bag. Truly, I will never love another.
