Black bag $1.99

It looks a little rough in this picture, but it's one of my favorite things. A little boxy purse bought at Savers in Lubbock, Tx for $1.99.

I've carried all manner of things in this little bag.
I keep meaning to attach a small mirror to the underside of the top, but still have not done it.

As much as I'd love to have it as my regular bag, I know I'd be prone to leave it somewhere since it's just a handle bag. I just do better with bags worn over the shoulder.

It fits several trade paperbacks very nicely.

I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner.

So the battery ran out for my camera and I was full of grump thinking that I wouldn't get the promised picture (well technically two) up today, again.

Why does it have to be a new picture? So here we have my first BPAL imp purchase from sometime last year. Also on top of and beside two of my favorite books, imagine that!

Of these group my favorites were Miskatonic University, Paris and Jack. Now a handy little breakdown of their scents. (taken from the bpal site)

Miskatonic University: The scent of Irish coffee, dusty tomes and polished oakwood halls. How could a girl resist that? Ok, how could this girl resist, it's like a litany of some of my favorite things. It's a sweet, woody smell. Had a lady come in the store one day and go "Do you smell something like...cherry tobacco?", "Oh, that's probably me." Lady: *impressed* It smells so nice, reminds me of my father's pipe. I think it's intended scent was proven there.
I'd probably jump a guy that smelled like the description on the site.


Jack: The scent of warm, glowing jack o'lanterns on a warm autumn night: true Halloween pumpkin, spiced with nutmeg, glowing peach and murky clove. I honestly just found this and I don't know why I haven't worn it until now. Sweet and spicy, one of those you catch yourself sniffing all day. Not so foody smelling that you're hungry all day. (Not to mention that whole "murky clove" thing)

Paris: Lavender, softly underscored by lotus and spice. Something nice to wear with a dress, it's the girlier of the two. Also, surprise, not a food scent.

I'm leaning towards buying a big size of Miskatonic, it's just that delicious.

Midnight...

Has snuck up and bit me on the butt.

Two pictures tomorrow. I have to be up early for work. So long days off!

Still not brave enough to try the fizzy chocolate.

Fizzy chocolate. While I'm all for a number of unnatural things; I just don't quite know what to think of fizzy chocolate.

Chocolate cokes are good, but they're not crunchy.

This was part of a secret Santa gift from a co-worker, I guess she figured of anyone she knew that I'd probably try it.

So how about...

A picture a day starting tomorrow?

Sounds like a plan to me. Just random things because I'm getting tired of all this text.

Words, words, words. I love 'em, but sometimes you just need pictures.

Oh mah head

Can't tell if it's eyestrain or the weather giving my sinuses a sound thump.
Perhaps it's both.

I did finally get that listing up on etsy! So there's another new years resolution in the bag.
I've been keeping this updated daily, except I need load up things earlier in the day so this isn't just, "It's 11!!! blatherblatherblather" all the time.

I still can't believe Wiscon is all the way over there in May. I'm so impatient for it that I think my hair is curling. (yeah, even more than usual)

Off to sleep, get rid of this headache and attack another tomorrow morning.

Making sure I have everything in line for classes this semester.

Now I remember why I don't go to the mall...

I forgot how LOUD they play the music in some departments. I nearly ran screeching from one dress department when Beyonce's Put a Ring On It started to blare. Jiminy Christmas.

Found a hoodie that I liked, but alas, the medium was made for girls with no boobs. Where were these clothes back when I had no boobs and was built like a #2 pencil? WHERE?!

The return process was easy, so now I have a nice gift card. I'll probably try to hit another Dillard's soon, maybe one that doesn't require me to hire a guide and ring my brother up for a search party. He found 3 jackets at Macy's

Although I did find the most perfect robe and sleepset ever. It had me written all over it, unfortunatly it also had $$$ written all over it.

If I'm plunking down a good slab of cash it needs to be deliciously made and made to last damn near forever.

The good? Amazing smoked salmon, and milk in the fridge.

Milk in the fridge means cereal for breakfast.
