Did I mention that I'm planning a trip to New York?
Someone talk me out of buying a new shoulder bag for my trip to New York. Even though I don't really have a good overnight bag. I have one, but the straps are super uncomfortable, and that's a perfectly valid reason to buy a new bag, right? I was considering an L.L. Bean Boat and Tote bag, because they're classic and durable and I'm a New England girl at heart. My problem with them is the lack of organization inside. (No pockets.)
I have basically wasted my entire afternoon trawling ebags and Modcloth and a ton of other sites looking for the perfect bag, then talking myself out of spending the money. This one's my favorite, even though it's completely useless as an overnight bag.
All in all, not the best use of a Sunday afternoon! I should probably just make a bag. Except I never get around to making any of my sewing projects, so that's not going to happen. I did find a pattern for making purse skirts for my Thirty-One purse, though, and considering how much I hate most of their fabrics, that's a project I do want to master. As soon as I finish the jacket I started cutting out today and then wandered away from. ::sigh:: I am useless when it comes to follow-through.
Still, New York! I don't care if I have to carry my stuff in a garbage bag. Though they really will turf me out of the fancy hotel if I show up like that.
Last night my sister and I went to see the touring company of Les Miserables. She bought the tickets for my birthday, and I had a gift card for the popular sushi bar in town (also a birthday gift) so we had sushi and really good French wine and then I sobbed through the entire show. As per usual. I think my sister thought I was having some kind of breakdown, but the truth is I always start crying at the overture and pretty much don't stop until the end.
I have a bunch of e-mails to send and also a couple messages on OkCupid and some comments to answer. Instead I'm probably going to look at more bags.
I really love that bag. I'm not going to buy it. But I really love it.
