Very crazy stressful week so I am really shopping my closet . Today's bag is my one and only Cole Haan Hobo!

I like their older bags more then the newer ones, but I am not giving up on them .
If thye keep making solid bags like the one you have, I'll never give up! And I love thier shoes haha

This thread is wonderful. It's just astonishing how in such a welcoming community there's people who want to ruin it for others. I guess it really shows how it's a microcosm of the world, but I typically come to tpf to escape the dramas of life and enjoy handbags.

I won't leave, tpf entertains me during my downtime. Lol but perhaps I should stop reading other threads. I typically only post in the handbag side, minus a few things in the money talks, so it's really sad to see such attitudes and bad demeanor or the handbag side.

So I'm still here, I can't find another forum that's generally as welcoming as this one.

ETA: My scarf is ready for pick up! Will share photos when I get it. So excited. I'm terrible at being good. [emoji85]
There are lot sof times where I visit other threads and I write a response, only to delete it. I delete it not becuase I've said any thing offensive, but looking at some of the resonse some ppl get for very objective comments, it's not worth the potential backlash. Even if I don't deal wtih it, i jsut dont' think i need the emotional bleh, evne for a second. I participate in only a few threads =) Thanks everyone for making this an awesoe thread. Can't wait to se eyour scarf, and glad yo'ure feelig better.

Happy mail today! Reveal when I get home from class!
Can't wiat to see!

Same. People get offended and angry at opposing opinions. A lot of times I just end up reporting and not replying. We're all grown adults, we should be able to converse like so.

And thank you. I'm glad I no longer have headaches. They're terrible. [emoji37]


ETA: I got an A in one class! Unfortunately, my second class literally was one quiz and I'm getting a B. He was a terrible lecturer too, an online class has to be better than that.

Well, I often say to myself that people have different background and mind set. And when you don't really know about each other, some just let the dark side out.
There're some community on Facebook in my country that's very controversial and people just jump in. They post so many nasty things about other people and it's sad to see coz most of the time, the moderators only want us to think about the message. And on Facebook, it's so easy to find out who you are, yet people, without thinking, are just simply mean. I don't know if that's stupidity or ignorance. :( And why can't they simply be nice?

Anyway, I can't wait to see your scarf, Bake! Can I request mod shot? ;) The petit H is cute. I'm not big on bag charm, but it really add the character.

This week is still a long way to go. I have my own plan, but something just come up and kind of screw that up. I'm still mad for people who just think that other people's time and business are not as important as theirs. Too much drama only a couple of hours start into the day. :(

Well, maybe the afternoon will be better. At least, I get to go home and meet my dog.

Everytime I think of Jenny, I remember her so wide eye with that blue bag from her clip. She's beautiful. Maybe she's busy with her work? I remember that on her latest post, she mention something about getting offered a new job, but she decline or applying for a new position but the outlook isn't so bright? My memory isn't as good now. :(
 
I'm on the process of editing my bag content now. I took out some lipstick and indeed changed into a smaller wallet. I even think about change the size of my pouch so I won't be tempted to fill it in. I found my old wallet that I didn't forget but couldn't find when we did a wallet project the other day when I was looking for the keys. So, within a heart beat, I changed into it. :) It's blue and although not as easy to spot as the orange one I had before, I like it more.

In chaos, I also found a long lost small case (a Japanese magazine freebies as usual) that fits my next year planner so I now put it in there and it looks a bit more organized. I found shopping my stash this week has been pretty fun and creative in some way. (Thanks to the inspiration in the planner's community. I'm not up to their level of creative yet, but it's been very fun.) My Kikki K compendium, although beautiful, is a bit too big for my liking. I can see myself using it for meetings, but it's not a portable size. (I should remind myself more often that I shouldn't shop out of boredom and mocked up is very important and a must.)

My brother's wedding is near and my tailor just called she lost my measurement. Arg! Such a painful weekend that I have 2 unexpected things pop up. Normally, I'm fine, but when I also have plans, it's not really pleasant.

So little time, so many things. :) Hope you all have a great Friday!

I understand that. I sometimes really want to reply coz I think I know something or I have opinion that I think maybe I should voice it out or maybe I should share and maybe we can discuss something. But people sometimes just couldn't take it as a discussion. They feel like they got attacked or called out unfairly. Maybe we don't see things the same way. After I notice this fact, I comment less. I still want to share my opinion sometimes. I love discussion, but being the boss at work, it's not like people will feel comfortable discussing with you all the time. And there're many things I can't talk with them. And it's the same thing for them. Being here is a fun thing for me. I prefer not to get involve in any drama myself. It's upsetting. :(

Congrats on getting an A. Well, don't be upset about the B. I once had a very boring lecturer. He's so boring only 20% of the students attended his class. (It's in my undergrad year.) Well, you will be fine. ;)

I dared once to give my opinion in the ebay subforum. I didn't like how one lady dismissed what I said. I exercised restraint not to reply back. I just felt somewhat vindicated when the thread starter appreciated what I said and said it was exactly what she wanted to know! Hah! Never again I told myself!

Congrats on the good mark! I can't imagine an online class. Sometimes a regular class is lready unbearable, what more a boring online lecture! [emoji12]

Vink, look what I found during my drawer cleanup the other day! A souvenir notebook from your local company! I'm in the same industry. [emoji4]

I also got a message earlier that caused changes in schedule, I didn't like it. [emoji20]

Reveal time! My new Epi Pochette!

I went to the Beverly Center on Veteran's Day and ordered it there. Wasn't home to sign for it on Tuesday when they tried to deliver it, so I had it sent to the UPS store near me. My sweet friend was kind enough to rearrange his schedule a little bit to take me to pick it up at lunch today. Ended up getting back from lunch about 40 minutes late. Oops.....Bless him. He's one of things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving.

But I love it! It's a great size for the basics plus a little. I often go and sit in Starbucks for an hour or so on the weekends, this would be great for that kind of thing. The monogram pochette I was looking at a few weeks ago (when I went home with the Pallas BB!) was much too small. This is more realistic.

This is so chic! It will be good for those holiday parties too.

I'm surprised at how awesome the freebies are for you! Magazines don't give anything good for free!

Bummer that so many things came up, but I'm sure it'll be fine.

I will share my scarf once I get it! :)

I'm bummed because it was literally 7 questions at 10-15 points each. Miss one, and you're at a B. Like who does that? The lectures were terrible. The lecturer kept bragging about past accomplishments which did not teach me anything. Ugh, I can keep on ranting, this was the worse class I've taken, in person and online.

Luckily, it was balanced by the other class in which the teacher is a saint, and really knows how to teach an online class.

Can't wait!!!

I'm so glad the terrible class wasn't a regular class. I would never attend.
 
This may sound crazy because I have had it for so long but I am loving this hobo. My old iPhone fits in the outside pocket and my glasses fit in the other. I do not know why I have not worn this bag more. Loving it!
