2020 resolution - shopping my own bag and wallet collection. Any one else?

Thanks! Have not moved yet this weekend assuming we get out. We are going to have to do quarantine when we arrive, oh the fun.

Here’s wishing you safe travels and uneventful move!

Two words. Bvlgari Serpenti!!
Me too! I had them growing up because I had bad fur allergies.
Thank you! Please send good energy that the recovery wraps up well. I’m so tired of hurting.

Agree! I was going to mention that but I’m not “ready”..whatever that means

Thank you for the explanation. We've just had two confirmed cases of COVID-19 in our county, and our shelter in place order goes into effect at midnight tonight. DH and I are taking it very seriously. DH is picking up a couple of scrips for us at the pharmacy tomorrow, but we have everything we need for the time being from the grocery store, so no need for that. Both cars have gas (not that we're going anywhere!), no other appointments for the foreseeable future. DH had a haircut scheduled for Thursday, but he cancelled… it's not essential, and he definitely can't get his hair cut and stay 6 feet away, LOL!

The weather here is chilly(ish) but sunny for the next while. We plan to walk every day, just so we don't get cabin fever. I'm stress-cleaning. But I figure that's a whole lot better than either stress-eating or stress-shopping… yes???

I’ve been cleaning as well! I’m telling y’all ..there’s something to my epiphany. “When your world is (turned) upside down, you really see the crap” (So ok I’m not Tennyson..) but seriously downward dog reveals a lot

Tomorrow I want to go to Trader Joe’s to see the mayhem in action. All I gotta say is that there will be a lot of canned beans donated to food drives this winter. It’s also quite chilly here and I really need to change my bag! I never posted for green or blue week. And now we’re on purple so If I don’t hop to, I’ll just fail the semester.

Good luck with the move and stay safe. Please let us know when you are there.

It feels so weird to have all these bags and I have not worn one in days. My dh has been doing the long walks with the puppies while I have been painting.

I went out to get groceries earlier and I chose my Tumi nylon bag for the errand. I seem not to care for "nice" bags during these times. Or, maybe I really care for them since I don't want to expose them to the elements?

I posted my 3 red bags in the 2019 thread and have not added or sold any since they give me great coverage across bag types - 28 Kelly (day bag), tpm Evelyn (casual bag), and medor (date night, formal bag).

What a lovely and well rounded collection! Looking for your pic....

Yesterday I took out my Dior lovely which is classified as a "useful bag" for a quick trip to the grocery store. I only wanted 2 tins of baked beans, but ended up getting some sweets and little bottles of smoothies, too, so came home laughing as I had crammed all my purchases into the handbag and was reminded of the "Charlotte has pudding in her Prada" scene from Sex and the City.

Sending warm wishes for a smooth, uneventful move and quick quarantine. I hope you’ve got contacts on the other side who can help you with groceries, etc. when you arrive.

Thanks! Luckily we had lined up a helper to help until we have hired someone permanently and they are able to get us everything. My admin at work has been great too and she is sourcing me kids masks. All these things to consider!

I wish I stress cleaned. I usually do the other two - one which is bad for my weight and the other is bad for the bank account.

Well, my house is looking pretty good… but I think I'm driving DH a bit crazy!

I heard on the news today there is a federal 90 day penalty free period for paying but I didn't hear anything about filing. If there isn't going to be a penalty, people could file extensions but I imagine many people don't know how to do that.

There is this page at IRS. https://www.irs.gov/coronavirus
It hasn't been updated to show any relief yet but hopefully soon.

Thank you. That's good to know.
I was supposed to meet with our CPA today to go over my Mom's tax info (we already met with him for ours) but I called, and they told me that they're having people just slip their paperwork through the mail slot. So DH will walk over this afternoon and do that. He'll get some exercise… and get away from me and my cleaning supplies!!!

I was born in the year of the rabbit. Could be cute but not really as interesting as a pig!

I was born in the year of the pig, but I really don't know what that means. I'm also a Capricorn, and I TOTALLY fit that sign.

Oh, gosh, I hope it all goes well for you. This is a scary time to be relocating.

We have two Trader Joe stores in our area… a little one (two minutes away) and a big one (about 15 minutes away). I've heard that they both cleaned out over the weekend, but I didn't see it for myself. I shopped where I always shop, at our small, locally-owned market, and they had very nearly everything I wanted. They were cleared out of paper products, but I have enough. I don't belong to Costco, so I missed that craziness, thank goodness!

I have put myself on a "restricted news" diet. I'm not watching TV news coverage, because it's just too stressful. I'm following the outside world via the one on-line newspaper I subscribe to, but only twice a day for 15 minutes each time.

We're taking the "shelter in place" order very seriously. Because I'm at risk (I feel fine, but I've got Stuff), I won't be going out at all, except to take neighborhood walks, which I intend to do every day for the sake of sanity. If we need supplies, DH will be the errand-runner, but I doubt that will be necessary.

What's everyone else doing?
