My Own Personal Monotony

so my husband goes to visit his parents for a few weeks, and apparently this leads to all kinds of CRAZY spending on my part..

Big mistake – I just jumped on over to AmEx to check my balance. Eeeuuufff.

Keen Presidio shoes.

They’ll hopefully last a few years,
they are comfortable as heck,
and I got them 20% off,
and used my dividend at REI.
Justified.

nice, right? Yup.

I also bought pedometers – one for me, one for my mother.
Green tea bars. Yummy.
A new hummingbird feeder.
Emu oil for Hamish.

And the best, I think – a summer pocketbook.

I’ve been using a Jen Groover Butler Bag – Hybrid in Espresso. Great bag, but huge – and really dark for summer.

So I got a smaller lighter one – the Classic, in toasted almond.

This isn’t a picture of my bag, but it gives you a good idea of what the inside of a Butler Bag looks like, and it’s major selling point. My father looked at the inside of my bag and said “all you need now are alphabetized folders.”

So now my OCD is lovingly stroked – everything in it’s own place IN MY PURSE!

You know I’m obsessed when I buy something this pricey – yes, pricey – TWICE.

My last bag was from the Brookstone outlet and cost $4.99. It actually had a Brookstone label on the front – well, a plastic thing that said “BROOKSTONE” glued on the front flap. Classy. I thought that bag was organized. Ha. Amateurs.
