Try some; it's good.

Wherein I ramble about books, movies, music, TV shows, my life, and occasionally, hot emo boys.

Thursday 13

Thirteen Things you probably didn't know about me

1. Even though I don't craft, I'm totally into people who do. I special order my soap from a woman who makes homemade bars with luscious fragrances. My favorite so far is the Pumpkin Spice.

2. I collect stained glass pieces and scented candles.

3. I enjoy wasting time on Ebay, looking for unique handcrafted items. I want a distressed, vintage suitcase that has something unique painted on it. I believe they call this shabby-chic.

4. I lust for purses and handbags the way some women jones for shoes. I just bought a homemade bag from a lady in the UK. The faux fur looks like pink and white cowhide and it's lined in black satin. I'm going to tote my Ibook around in it.

5. This is my dog, Daisy. She's part basset hound, part dachsund, and she's okay. A few weeks back, her stitches tore, but she's healing fine and driving us all crazy.

6. Daisy is my husband's bitch, and she gets really riled up when he kisses me.

7. I have two male mixed Siamese cats, named Don Quixote and Dulcineo. We thought at first that Dulce was a girl because he had really small testicles. Turns out they're both male, but I think Dulce is gay because he's always humping his brother.

8. My first designer handbag was DKNY.

9. My favorite purse is by Coach.

10. I want a Juicy bag, a pink velour thing that's over the top girlie. I don't care, I want it anyway.

11. I have a Prada bag I've never used.

12. I prefer quirky vintage bags that I am sure I will never find on anyone else's arm.

13. I totally covet this bag (it's a pineapple!) and don't you think it would be awesome for the beach? But I think Andres might hurt me if I bought it.

i just started my handbag fetish about a year ago. Got this GREAT one for xmas with kimonos all over it - only problem was that the straps were attached in such a funky way that i ended up ditching it as unpractical. I kept spilling the contents. Sure was pretty though.

I have a few pair of go-with-anything shoes, a couple of dressier purses and one super-functional everyday purse. So what's my weakness? Watches, watches, watches. I was at Kohl's the other day (ironically to buy a summer everyday purse) and all their watches were on sale. I left with 4 more watches- they just insisted on coming home with me. *sigh*

LOL at #7!! I've barely left the diaper bag behind. I'm just so happy to be carrying a real purse that I don't even care what it looks like!

And to answer your question about the rainwater in Bermuda - they don't purify it. Fresh rain - as good as it gets! We don't have any factories or mills to dirty up the air so the water is crystal clean.

I love bags. I have way to many purses and I barely ever use them. I use bags to organize. I keep on going projects in bags. My purse is really just a one bag dumping ground for stuff I like to have when I'm out, or stuff I picked up there. I have a writing bags too. It contains a baggie of post its and note paper, a bag of pens, folders with rejects or printed stories/story bits, manila folders, a notebook for shorts, any works in progress...

The cat thing... it's not gay, it's dominance. My female used to hump my male siamese, amoung other bullying.

I'm not a dog person, but I could so take Daisy home with me! She's a sweetie. I have a great handbag, it has Betty Boop on it! I get lots of comments and just love it. :)

I'm glad I'm not alone with my bag lurrve. I used to like that blog Bag Crazy, but it hasn't been updated in more than a year. Evil!

I spend all my money on books but dang if I don't like your style. ;-) And I love that bag at #13. I can't believe that is a pineapple.

Thanks for stopping by!

Annie, sister kin, handbags are my thing. So is ebay. I spend an embarrassing amount of time browsing for worthless shit over there. It's an illness, I tell you.

As for the bags, I keep a "primary" handbag - a brown guess leather tote with top drawstring and a front magnetic pocket. I keep it because it's lugged keys and diapers and makeup and baby bottles through 2 kids. The bag hasn't sagged a bit, either. The leather is so hard it could deflect bullets.

Then there are the other bags...the ones I use on special expeditions. I'm currently using (and in love with) a Guess blue/green Hawaiian tote. Very cool for summer.

I hear you on the camo bag, Amie. Girlie rhinestones and manly camo...

Danette, it's available here. It's really not that expensive, except maybe for shipping.

I may do that, Tilly. Mother's Day is coming up, after all...

I agree, Cora. The Hawaiian one sounds really cute.
