No Bag

My order from endless.com arrived yesterday. Remember how I said the bag was sold out and not available by lunch time on Wednesday when I had ordered it? Well, they must have run out of them before they pulled my order to ship, because they sent me the wrong size bag. I hope it was just a warehouse pull error, and not a "just send her this one, we don't have any of the others left" type thing, where they were trying to pull one over on me. It's an adorable bag, but this particular style doesn't have a shoulder strap. I can't go clutch or wristlet for an everyday bag. So back it goes. I'll just have to keep looking. It was quite the deal too. Phooey.

Boogers and Bags

My mom told me this story last Friday after she babysat my nephew, Anders.

He was down for his nap. I guess he only slept for about an hour, and my mom wanted to drag it out longer. When he woke up he started calling for her. He was yelling "Grandma" a couple of times, so my mom went and peeked inside the cracked door to see what he was doing, hoping maybe he'd go back to sleep. She said he was standing up, stacking all the toys in a corner of the crib (clearly awake). She walked away, and tried to see if in a few more minutes he'd lay back down. Nope. He kept calling for her. So she felt guilty and went to get him. She went in and said, "Who is it? Whose calling for me?". Then she says, "What have you been doing?".

He replies, "Tasting boogers." Totally like it was a normal thing for someone to do when killing time.

This is what your kids learn at day care. LOL.

*****

Last night I got another Victoria's Secret catalog to browse through. I get these things several times a week, I swear. No wonder the prices are so high, they have to make up for all those printing and mailing costs.

As I thumb through, I'm convinced that I've become, or am becoming an "old married woman". No longer will I spend a great deal of time looking at the lingerie, picking out cutesy, little matching sets of bras and panties. If they fit, and they're clean seems to be only criteria I adhere to these days. I've moved onto the $2.99 clearance, lace undies from Old Navy, and I've gotta be honest, I love them.

But anyway, I love the clothes from Victoria's Secret. They have some really chic stuff. I've noticed that they have started pairing handbags with the outfits recently. And that got my mind to wander. I need a new purse. Last March I remember seeing a Jessica Simpson handbag in the catalog that I fell in love with. When I hopped online to order it from VS, it was, unfortunately for me, sold out. So I scoured the Internet in hopes of finding it elsewhere, and had a really hard time. I pretty much gave up. My mind kept telling me there was no reason to spend $100 on a purse anyway.

This morning I was thinking about the catalog again, and with handbags on my mind when I arrived at work, I jumped online to a new favorite shopping stop of mine, endless.com (thank you, Keri). I started with the Clearance/Sale section, because hey, who doesn't love saving a few bucks? With intentions of finding the Guess tote I saw the night before, I stumbled across the Jessica Simpson bag I had wanted for 45% off. I ordered it right away.

Then I logged back on after lunch, and it's gone already. Very popular item. Good thing I moved fast. I can't wait to check this thing out. They can hardly keep them in stock anywhere! And at almost half price, I was patting myself on the back. The Husband thinks I'm total geek for buying a Jessica Simpson bag. He was happy about me being a smart shopper, but laughing at the product. Hmph, what's he know anyway?

Your Daily Dose

It's time for me to push my style and taste on you again. I woke up with this song in my head this morning. Not a bad one to getcha moving.

You know the drill, give it a clicky-poo, and then switch windows and do something else while giving it a listen...

Went To a Reception

The Husband's old band mate got married in May and had a reception at a park in Lansing this last weekend. I was a little bummed I couldn't wear my fancy dress, but the one that I bought this summer was perfect for the occasion. Someone needs to tell me that I really shouldn't wear baby dolls, even though they are inceeedibly comfortable, however, not always the most flattering. Oh well, I thought it was cute.

The reception was fine. We knew a handful of people, got to socialize, and got to play disc golf since we were at a park. I've got more I could say, but I'll leave it at that for now. :-)

Here are some photos of the flowers that I grew from seed this year. . .the ones that actually survived anyway. . .

The family celebrated Anders's second birthday on Sunday. It turned out to be a beautiful day.

The yummy John Deere cake made by Barb Hoek of Sweet Cake Designs. It was delish!

Grandma and Grandpa checking out the new bubble machine. The bubbles were a big hit. That hot, little item cost less than $3, and included a battery! Five hundred bubbles in up to sixty seconds...holy moly!
