Sometimes I amazed that I have all this “stuff”....that I am, by most people's definition, a “techie”....who knew. Two years ago I didn't own a laptop, my camera was crappy, my portable music choices included only a portable CD player or the songs inside my own head and I vowed my family would remain video game free for years to come....so WHAT happened? If you figure it out, let me know.
What else can I tell you about myself? I am a fairly upbeat person who tends (as you will see here) to use sarcasm as a coping mechanism....it works. Unfortunately, my 9 year old uses the same mechanicism. The 6 year old is a pretty cool kid...except he lives in his own world where every minute he is conscious must be used to fight off “video game enemies” complete with his own sound effects...ugh. And then there is Cha...she is 4. Hard to believe she is only 4....I swear it feels a little more like 14. She should have a blog of her own...her antics could write a book. Someday they may. Who knows.....it would have to be an online book...to keep with the digital theme.
What else....OH, right....I work....well, sort of. I have JOB, but it really feels more like play....except when I am beyond a deadline.....like I am now.....and should be working instead of blogging while sitting in the carpool line. I guess I didn't mention I am a photographer....I guess professionally because sometimes people give me money for it, but truthfully, I kind of feel like a thief. Here is the website....you can judge... Most of the family gallery is me....and all the newborn and maternity stuff. The wedding stuff is mostly split between me and my co-workers...unless it is really really good and then I will accept credit for it.
Ok, I feel like I am boring you now......let me see if there is anything else that you might want to know before I sign off....I love my new Coach purse. There's something. Seriously. I love this thing in an unnatural way. It brings me total happiness. I don't consider myself materialistic...seriously...even with the above collection of techie crap (I could live without everything except my Blackberry). But this bag.......wow. I didn't intend to buy it....and I REALLY didn't intend to buy the matching wallet.....but......well.......I was having a really bad night. I met the BFF for a nice Mexican dinner. Apparently the OMG-I-am-about-to-go-postal look in my eye scared her because she offered to take my kids home so I could have some alone time. I am not much of a “drink alone” kinda gal so there was really only one choice of where to go.........the Coach Outlet to smell the purses. If you haven't done this, I highly recommend it. Anyway, as I was walking around putting my nose on one leather bag after another I spotted it..........a pink leather handbag with shiny silver buckles. I think I heard angels sing....well, maybe not, but it was a really great moment. Gone were all homicidal thoughts.......all I could think about was the pink purse before me................in another customer's hand.....and it was the LAST one. I tried not to look to anxious as I stood shoulder-to-shoulder with her waiting for her to decide she didn't want the beautiful-meant-to-be-on-my-shoulder tote....I couldn't imagine why she would put it back, but after an eternity, she placed it back on the shelf. I knew I wasn't going to buy it....even at the HEAVILY discounted price..did I say HEAVILY? (That kind of looks like HEAVENLY, doesn't it...hmm). Anyway, I wasn't going to make this purchase until Amy, the chipper salegirl said the magic words (to another customer...I avoid the sales women because I am sometimes easily persuaded)...”unpublished sale.......20% of your total order”.....I grabbed the wallet, paid for both and never looked back......then I sat in the car and smelled my new bag for about 15 minutes before heading home. Here is a picture of the bag....
.......now you understand, don't you?
