Never Underestimate the Power of a New Handbag!

Yay! I love my new purse!!! I have been doing some retail therapy this week, and it sure does feel good. I bought myself a few new things at the outlet malls, and I went shopping with my mom on Monday. We were walking through Macy's and I saw the bag. It is rare that I stop in a store because something catches my eye...okay, it's not that rare...but it is rare for me to stand there and convince myself that I need it because I usually do just the opposite. I will say to myself, "Do I really need another white shirt?" "I don't have the money." or "I already have five lip glosses with stuff left in them." Well, although I did say to myself that I didn't have the money, I kept thinking about that purse for the rest of the day. It was not on clearance, and no other stores had one like it, so I got on ebay when I came home, thinking it may be going for cheaper...boy, was I wrong. Apparently they are sold out in stores and are going for more than retail on ebay. Anyway, I called Mom and told her...and being the wonderful mother she is said...just go back and get it. OMG! My mom rocks! Did I mention that the purse I was carrying up until yesterday, which is also fabulous, was one my mom bought me two years ago! I just hope that I can afford to do the same things for Pressley and Lilly Grace when they are older...or maybe they will both get high-paying jobs and buy them for me!!!

Anyway, It is not typically my style to love animal print, but I do love this bag. Apparently, so does Lilly Grace. When I went to pick them up at Janet's it was sitting in the front seat. LG said, "ooh, Mommy...is that my bag?" I said, "No, it's mine." She said, "it's so cute...is it mine?" I said, "No, sweetie, it's Mommy's new bag." She said, "I like the bag Mommy, is it mine?" I guess there's something to be said about persistence...wonder where she got that from???
