Uh, I bought a purse....


I must be making up for lost time here - - Another entry!


Thanks for all your lovely comments. I will be around to journals tonight and tomorrow, reading and commenting.


Anyhow, I`m loving my new car. It`s a Toyota Yaris, a new model, of which I have seen very few out on the roads yet. Here is a not-very-good photo of me and my car.


   


Among other purchases, I did buy another purse. :)


   


I almost bought a new green one today at JC Penney`s. Ahh, it was gorgeous and on sale! But I put it back. I have bills to pay. Geesh. I did get some cute earrings at Target and while there, I found the digital camera that I want. So, maybe in a week or so I can buy it. I will also get a memory card so that I can have prints made.


I have a week off in October. I was toying with the idea of going to NY, the Big Apple, but I think I will go to Indianapolis to visit my brother. I have never been there and it`s closer than NY. I was thinking about once I visited him in Indy, I would just keep driving west and see how far I could go in the time that I had, but my daughter is going with me and I will have to have her back for school, so maybe not.


Years ago, on my day off, some friends and I would drive up to Niagara Falls, then onto Toronto, Canada and back again. ( About 7 hours each way, if I remember correctly. ) This was on my day off! I`d be half dead if I tried that now. lol It was 1985 and I had a brand new Ford Escort, my first totally new car. I was 24 years old. I drove it to Florida, too. I guess that road trip bug is still with me.


I really need to clean up this room and figure out what I`m wearing to church tomorrow.


Love & God bless,

The picture came out good, Penny! But I guess your like me and hate ALL pix of yourself! LOL Congrates on the new car, and journal; I like the name you chose too.....question: is that a recent pix of that tree? It's gorgous....our trees haven't
'turned' quite that much yet; ahhh.....pocketbooks! I'd be happy if I could buy one purse every week! LOL I was 'eye-ballin' a purple Betsy Johnson just yesterday at Burlington Factory outlet-but put in down after a second thought. ~Diane~

LOL, Penny and her new ride.  I used to drive everywhere and anywhere for day trips also.  Funny what we could do when we were young and full of energy.  Am I surprised you bought a new purse.  Nope but I am surprised you put the second one back.  I am so glad you have a journal again, Penny girl, you don't know how glad.  Love you, chris

I'm so glad to see your new journal.  LOVED the new purse.  I lost all but one in my moving back to Atlanta.  I'm getting by as it's a Victoria Secret.  Got to have more.  Your new car looks good and so do you.  I believe you need a road trip.  Coming South anytime soon?

I dream of a road trips like that all the time, just getting in the car with no set destination and driving off far far away, of course with good road tunes lol I can just imagine in another few weeks how lovely all the scenery will be with fall colors. Perfect time for a road trip.
I hope you take pics on your trip : )
Is there a support group for women who buy too many purses?? lol
