Finding the perfect purse

Leave a reply

I’m thinking about starting a weekly series on here called The Search for the Holy Grail.

I swear, I have been looking for the perfect laptop bag for something like seven years. Any ideas?

Here are my requirements:

  1. Light- my crap weighs enough, the bag can’t be heavy on it’s own
  2. Pockets, and lots of them.  Right now I’m using an old diaper bag as a purse.  Need I say more?
  3. Pockets on the inside too.  I’ve got a Timbuk2 bag that I love, except that it becomes a black hole where things go to be lost forever.  I like organization.
  4. Needs to be big enough to put my laptop in when I want tot take it with.

The hunt is on.  I’ll keep you posted.

Morning Routine

Do you have a morning routine? Does it include a lot of time reading the paper, watching the news, or sitting with your cup of coffee?

That sounds nice.

I have a morning routine: snooze for between 3 and 45 minutes. Realize if I don’t leave RIGHT NOW the trip to the gym will be pointless. Rush out of bed, into the workout clothes and contacts, out the door to the rec center. After 30 minutes and zero seconds on the elliptical rush back home, into the shower. Out, brush my and the kids’ teeth, fix make up, clothes, hair. Start coffee, make lunch while it’s brewing, pour in the cup (when my aim is good) kisses all around as I run out the door.

I would LOVE to have a leisurely morning routine, but the first time my alarm goes off is at 4:45, so I’m not seeing how that would happen. But, I’m willing to trade that picture perfect morning for the time I have with my family in the late afternoon when I get home from work.

That doesn’t mean I’m not jealous of the family breakfasts I see on tv.

Yeah for 2011!

I thought up this little ditty while freezing my tukas off this afternoon.  Sing to the tune of Prince’s 1999.  Enjoy!

Two zero one zero is over it’s out of time

So today lets rollerblade like it’s nineteen ninety five

nineteen ninety five

I rollerbladed just over five miles through my neighborhood and the attached sudivision.  I haven’t been for more than two years, and I felt like a little kid again!

Watch

My watch battery died. About four months ago. I finally went to Target to get it replaced, and the don’t do that anymore. Of course.

On the bright side, I have a reason to shop! I’ve decided I’m going to get a battery-free watch. Go back in time and get one that winds. I’ll post the options I find!
