Princess and the Purse

I finally did it! I bought my Coach purse! I am in my own little state of Nirvana. It is the Soho hobo small flap (camel color). it is the perfect fit for my shoulder and it holds everything I need with some spare room. I even bought the special cleaner for it to keep the fabric all nice and beautiful. I feel especially grown up carrying it around. I also stopped at the Origins store and bought a tube of their lip saver which is amazing!! I did go to Barnes and Noble and I bought a magazine and I bought the paperback edition of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver. I originally checked out this book when it first came out in hardback at the library. There is just so much good information and it is really well written.

We also ate at The Cheesecake Factory. Even though they stuck us at the tiniest table there, the slice of cheesecake I had for dessert was completely awesome (and totally worth it even though I don't really tolerate dairy well). I would like to state for the record that Sunshine spoils me rotten! He is so patient with me when I drag him on all of my shopping and yarn expeditions. He taped a bunch of my Bravo shows for me so I got to watch them on his big new tv and crochet and it was just fantastic.

It was definitely a cultural weekend. I went to a band concert and an orchestra concert and listened to NPR (which I secretly love). Sunshine and I drove over to A's house to see her and L. That was a very interesting experience. I don't think I will be having kids any time soon.I think the best part of the visit was the light up crochet hook she gave me (it lights up really bright) and the brief trip to Jo-Ann's Etc store which is like the supercenter version of Jo-Ann's. I bought a skein of Debbie Mumm's Traditions yarn in Chocolate Raspberry because it was so pretty and soft and it is 75% acrylic and 23% wool. If it didn't say Debbie Mumm for Jo-Ann's on it you would mistake it for fancy yarn store yarn.

I finished a pink placemat made of Sugar n Cream. I started the Malabrigo purse but I don't see how in the hell one skein is going to make this purse, so I think I am going to have to call my mom and have her interpret the pattern for me. I am happy to report that Sunshine's cat loves her new kitty bed and that he liked the plarn bag that I made for him.

Anyways, now I am back home and have to go back to work tomorrow. Boo! I don't want to deal with annoying HR and Relocation people.
