Long Time, No Post

I know, it's hard to believe, but it has been almost a month since my last post. So with that in mind, I must warn you ladies that this post will probably be one of my longest. In fact, I think I'll have a couple of mini-posts within this one. There is just so much to share!

A Total Wreck:

No, unlike the rest of the world, I'm not referring to Britney Spears, I'm talking about my little brother's car. I have attached a photo:


Chase was hit as he drove home from school on Thursday, causing his car to flip. He is fine and we are very grateful for that. Now to the funny part of the story (now that we know he is fine, we can find the humor in it) - He called Rusty after it happened to tell him he had a wreck, but failed to mention to Rusty that as they spoke, he was hanging upside down in his car. Rusty only found out Chase's car had flipped once he called the police to make sure they were on their way to the accident and they told him they were on their way to a roll-over. Chase basically hung upside down until the authorities arrived on the scene to help him get out.


Stupid, Cheap, Ghetto-Purse:
I have always been a firm believer in the old saying, "You get what you pay for." So I honestly don't know why I thought it would be a good idea to buy this stupid cheap purse in Dallas. Don't get me wrong, I really like the look of the purse and enjoyed that I could hold it on my forearm and it wasn't a bucket bag. I even overlooked the cheap leopard print on the inside of the purse.I told myself, "I'll just keep it zipped up and you'll never know it's in there."
Sounds like a great solution, right? WRONG. See, here is the thing, when you buy cheap purses they don't last very long and it's usually the fault of the zipper. Take this purse for example, I bought this purse on December 30, while shopping in Dallas. The dang zipper broke on the purse on January 11, while I was on my way to work. And the best part? The reason the zipper broke is because it got caught on the cheap leopard print lining of the purse. So now I have reverted back to my Tano, and have decided that I will never carry a cheap purse again. Let do the math: You can spend a smaller amount on a cheap purse, but you'll probably only carry it for two weeks, or you can spend a little bit more on a nicer purse and carry it for years. It really all boils down to the cost-per-ware and believe me, the "CPW" on my Tano, is much lower than the "CPW" on that stupid, cheap thing.
Moral of the story: Less is NOT more when it comes to matters of the wardrobe.
