I just saw a co-worker walk out of here with a Coach cross body satchel. It looked pretty cool! All of a sudden, I want one! Nothing will tempt me to want for anything but the moment I see someone I know with something that catches my eye, boom, I want it! The Chinese silk bag that I won last Christmas at a white elephant party I use to lug all my stuff to work and the Microsoft nylon briefcase that my brother gave my son eons ago, which I'm also using has become passe. Forget the Timbuktu briefcase that I got from the Tech dept; I don't like it anymore. I should really return it. Maybe someone has use for it. I don't like taking my laptop home anymore. The damn thing's too heavy. So much easier to surf on the ipad. Isn't it a bummer that you can't view anything with Adobe flash player on an ipad?
Donna, your cool satchel is not on the Coach website. It must be a discontinued item. I will leave it at that. Kinda looked like this without the lavander border
Just don't have anything to blog about. Sorry for the boring topic folks!
Excerpts from "Persuasion". One of my favorite movies with Sally Hawkins and Rupert Penry Jones.
Is he married? I do not know that he is And yet, so eligible a gentleman would truly by now have formed an attachment Would he bring his wife here with his children? I only pray that I am spared any meeting I know my chance at happiness is past forever But to be reminded of it by his presence here It would, I am certain, be more than my spirits could bare.
The worst is over I have seen him We have been once more in the same room A bow, a curtsy I heard his voice And then, he was gone He has not forgiven me I have used him ill deserted and disappointed him And worst, have shown a feebleness of character in doing so Which his own decided comfort and temper could not endure.
Once there were no two hearts so open No feelings so in harmony Now we are strangers Worst than strangers For we may never become acquainted It is perpetual estrangement And tonight, I am to be tested once more.
Now I understand him He can never forgive me He condemns me still with the past And is becoming now quite attached to another And yet Still he cannot be unfeeling He cannot see me suffer Without wishing to give relief This is where the proof of his own good warm and amiable heart I cannot contemplate without infinite pain and regret.
You will be delighted to hear that I am at last resolved to settle down. Indeed, Frederick, I am delighted to hear it Pray, do you have anyone in mind? No, no! I am quite ready to make a foolish match with any woman between 15 and 30. A little beauty, a few smiles and a compliment to the Navy and I shall be lost forever! Oh, come Frederick! After all, what wife is a humble sailor to expect any better?
But if I am to speak in earnest What I desire above all in a wife is firmness of character. A woman who knows her own mind. A weak spirit which is always open to persuasion first one way then another can never be relied on.
I will not allow a woman's nature to be more constant with a man's And yet, you will allow the poetry they tell us endlessly, the thickness of women? And they are not all written by men? Yes, Miss Elliott, perhaps they are. I see we shall not readily agree on this I would never suppose that true constancy is known by women But the one claim I shall make of my own sex is that we love longest when all hope is gone.
Miss Elliott, I can bear this no longer It pierces my soul with half agony and half hope I have loved none but you You alone have brought me to Bath For you alone I think and plan I must see you I must go, uncertain of my faith A word a look will be enough And tell me not that I am too late with such precious feelings are gone forever.
Captain, I am I am receipt of your proposal And I accept it Thank you! Are you quite certain? I am! I am determined! I will! And nothing, it may be sure forever persuade me otherwise!
This movie is so achingly beautiful! I cried til the end.
If it were up to me, all my clothes would be in black and white, period. The only pop of color would be my accessories, bag and shoes. What's wrong with that? Ever watched Fatal Attraction with Glenn Close? Did you know that she only wore black or white in that entire movie? Does that mean I have a personality disorder? Not!!!!!!!
