I put the kaibosh on my gift from the hubby-

[ame]

Turns out that he was going to buy me a new Powerbook!!! I have one that is the original Titanium Powerbook and while it's fast it is lacking some serious options I am used to from work. We realyl shouldn't be buying a badass machine yet no matter how bad I want it. I need to pay off the car and credit cards before we go sinking that much.

SO I think instead Ill get a nice purse (maybe a dooney?) and a new cell phone. I told him I maxxed out on him at like 300 something including the $100 map he got for himself on Ebay. I don't know how I feel about him spending $500 or more on me...

So help me pick a purse....

Option A:
In the color SADDLE

Option B:
Cognac color

Any other ideas?

Definitely option A!!

Although, I would be happy with either

(in black for me though hehe)

LOL You and me both. Tell me more about this $100 map. Better be a pirate''s treasure map with a large red X on it.

haha. He collects old maps. He particularly likes egypt, etc. and tends to go with maps from 1600-1850. He has been looking for this particular map for months because he spotted one similar while we were in Hawaii. He did research and found out that the one he was ogling there was actually a print of the real thing and boy was I glad we didn''t plunk $1300 down on it...he just bought the original for $100 on ebay! The seller didn''t really want to sell it that low but he was $50 below reserve and I guess really wanted to sell it still, he emailed us and said "Id still like to sell it, Im asking $125 and Ryan said can we go down to 115 because my wife will kill me, so the guy said 115 with free shipping.

Ryan got it checked out and it''s the real deal and for free shipping this guy went all out. I have never seen such an immaculate package.

Only a little.

 

[Kaleigh]

I give up!!!

HAHA. I actually only really reach into a purse with my right hand. Partly because 1) it''s on the carseat and 2) at work its on my desk next to the computer, which is on the right. Its maybe a habit as a result of this ring thing but genearlly I carry it with the left and on the left.
