I want this purse

I want this purse. I love that it is both a cross-body AND a clutch.

I mean seriously...how awesome is that?

It comes in quite a few colors and I've seen some pretty decent prices on various websites...hmmmmm....thinking about it.

Moving on...

On the house front...we're still set to close this Friday. What I found out today though, is that the seller will probably use all 60 days occupancy we gave her.

Part of the contract states that we give her 60 days occupancy in the house after closing with her paying us $XX/day. So I know we'll get our payments eventually but I was hoping she wouldn't use all 60 days. Oh well...I guess that gives us even MORE time to clean and pack and get ready to move out. At least the weather will be nicer 2 months from now.

Oh and check it out...I actually updated all three blogs in one day today! Can you believe it?

And yes...a shameless plug for my own blogs, my food blog and my photo blog.

Shopping = good = anniversary gifts

I hit up DSW and Marshalls / Home Goods today. I had two $10 gift certificates for DSW so of course I had to spend them. I went in there looking for a really nice pair of brown riding boots but I didn't really see anything that I loved. So I decided to look around. I currently have these 1-1/2" - 2" heel boots from Payless that I bought like 3 years ago. I love them, but they've definitely seen better days. So I walked over to the shoe bootie section and came across this cute little ankle boots. I was sold.

Then I headed over to Marshalls / Home Goods. I found a really nice purse and some cute sweaters. I really need to start stocking up on fall clothes! I also found an ornament for the D&R Ornament Exchange over on The Nest.

The leather shoes and purse were my anniversary gift since we celebrate our 3rd tomorrow and that's the traditional gift. Yeah I buy my own stuff. It's just easier that way. If I waited for Jim to get me an anniversary gift I wouldn't have it until Christmas. Jim got a gift too - Simple shoes, in black. He loves them! I think the pair he has now he's owned for like 2-3 years. It was time for a new pair.

So yes - I bought my own anniversary gift and yes, I gave shoes to Jim for his present. Whatever...we're practical people. At least he made reservations for dinner for us for this Saturday!
