mama's got a brand new bag

i bought this and it's huge! so far it's been great to haul various and sundry items about, namely a game of uno (to j and c's bbq), dinner (to babysit), dvds and books (thanks, lis!) 8 bottles of pellegrino water (looted from a catering event) and new shoes (post-shopping).


it's so purdy!

i'm still laughing about a couple of friday nights ago. lis and tim called me up to do dinner and general hanging out, and off we went to a local pizza joint. who should happen to be there unexpectedly? jewels and cy! great minds and all that. funny thing was, i couldn't place cy. i knew who it was, but just couldn't figure out what he was doing there.

sometimes my brain just doesn't work.
