love for my king ranch

last night, for some reason, we traded in my expedition for some mercedes sedan. i'm not sure what prompted us to do so. but i didn't like it. no, not the mercedes, because that was great. but i didn't like the fact that we traded it in.

i missed my car and went frantic trying to find a way to redeem it. nothing was working out. the dealer had already turned my expedition over to a third party. i kept worrying about where i was going to find another king ranch. a mercedes can be replaced. there are plenty of those around. but not another king ranch expedition. i almost cried thinking to myself, "where am i going to find it? where am i going to get another one? how can i afford another one?..."

i woke up this morning so sad about what happened yesterday. i went downstairs for breakfast and walked past the open door to the garage. and what do i see? my expedition was back! it was either an early christmas gift from my honey who managed to pull it off, or it was a bad nightmare. i found out it was the latter.

thank you, Lord. i don't know why you give me these things even though i am more materialistic than you want me to be. but thank you anyway.

my new kate spade bag

i kept talking about the kate spade bag. couldn't let go for some reason.

hubby suggested that we go down to camarillo, i think, to make me happy.

so i called the kate spade store to check the price again.

i couldn't believe it! it was still available and marked down to $67!

although it's a lot more than what i'd like to spend at target or tj maxx or marshalls, i thought it was a good deal.

so what did we do? we hurried down and picked it up.

it was a sweet moment.

ipod touch

belated anniversary gift from my husband. for last year.

i feel like i got something already, although i can't remember what.

but who's complaining? :)

kate spade's delano serena hobo

this is a kate spade delano serena hobo.

saw this one at the factory outlet store today.

it was an imperfect item~ thread coming off a little inside.

i liked that it looked classy, yet trendy. but even w/ the factory outlet price, the markdown, and another 40% storewide sale, it was still close to $200.

couldn't justify the cost. so i didn't get it.

if there was a special occasion, i wouldn't feel bad asking honey for it as a gift.
