My dearest twenty-something singleton friend just phoned with details of her latest wildly romantic escapade. I'm talking bodice-ripper, scandalous yet soulful pirate on the romance novel cover level of escapade. After a in depth dish session, she then asked what sorts of excitement I'd gotten myself into lately.
Having recently covered my tedious thirty-something basics - my job (fine), pets (fine), and mortgage (fine) - I signed off of the call shortly thereafter, resigned and, if I'm being honest, perhaps just a little sad. Not that my friendship is by any means competitive, but our conversation reminded me that my days of calling friends to dissect the man du jour have come to an end.
And then, not five minutes later, inspiration struck me - immature inspiration, admittedly, but inspiration nonetheless - as I grabbed my iPhone. Pulse racing, I snapped a picture, pressed "send", and breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that I haven't left all impulsive love affairs behind me along with my 20s.
Readers, I sent my friend a photo of my new handbag. Yes, handbag. Because I may have happily promised some 2.5 years ago not to have any more romances with other people but, by God, I'm clinging to the right to love & cherish fashion which I find on sale, 'til death - or American Express - do us part.

Amen sister!!
You grab that iPhone and you snap some pics of that fab bag... and ummm then post it to your blog for us to see!
:)
Hey that bag of yours is too fab not to brag about!! I would say it's even a little better (and lasts longer ;)) than the rendezvous your friend had!
mmmmmmmmm pretty bag
Fab bag. Also, I recommend finding some prostitutes to make fun of. Works for me.
Don't knock your bag...that's my idea of a long term commitment!! :)
I'm not a bag girl, but a good shopping trip is better than ... well you know. Anyway, I know what you mean by boring life. Have a great Sunday!

Ah during the Britney Spears induced sorority reunion two weeks ago I went through something similar.
About half of the girls there were married, and I sat there somewhat enthralled by the unmarried half's stories of torrid love affairs.
I was just excited I had found killer shoes on sale...
Ha, you go girl! Over from SITS...very cute blog you have here! Hmmm, what kind of handbag are you snappin' pictures of?
Jamie :)
Yes, but a new handbag goes with everything and doesn't give me any lip!! Im pretty excited over my new black purse,also!!
That's hilarious. You should post a picture of your new handbag on here.
Wait until you get to the point where you are tired of hearing the details of single friends affairs. My BF bores me nightly with TMI about this guy she is currently sleeping with. The whole time she is talking I cruise my favorite online shopping sites. Post that handbag pic!
ummmmmm this.post.is.worthless.without.pictures!
I so completely agree....we married women still get our kicks, just in the form of material items that last a lot longer (and are more rewarding) than some sexcapade relationships!
Pretty please post us a pic?
Way to be lady! I choose to believe that that our thirties hold even better times than our twenties. That's how I get through the day anyway. Ah ha.
And a bag will never cheat on you or get you in the family way...
You're the best!
Oh, good for you Miss Pretty, yeppers! That is one fab find and clearly the epitome of elegance!
tp
wouldn't "wetsuit ripper" tales be more appropriate? ;-) x,IWoM
Awwwww! I so get it!
That bag is divine! love love love (not just a crush!)
Wow, I love your blog and your purse! You go girl! Oh, and I totally agree that a bag is better than any boy will every be. He he. :) Nice to meet you from SITS!

Its gorgeous and I don't think it will walk out on you like a man! Unfortunately I'm just not over the 20-something man darma yet and my 30th is around the corner, oh no! Guess I better lie about my age :)
I'd rather have that bag rip my bodice off than a man any day!
I'd love to see the cover of that romance novel!
I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove that bag! Any chance you'd share where/how you found the super-secret sale?? :)
