Happy Friday, Ludmilla! :wave:

I’m trying to adjust to the new look as well. :rolleyes:

On other fronts, my argumentative younger sister is taking up much of my time as both our younger brother and baby sister have left on their respective vacations and won’t be back until next week. :facepalm:

Then there were the deer mice. For some reason known only to them, a cluster of them decided to make the blower fan in my vehicle their new home. :confused1:

Unfortunately they lacked the foresight what might happen when I engaged the air conditioning in my vehicle. :panic:

The ensuing carnage resulted in their swift yet incredibly gory demise and necessitated a trip to the auto repair shop to replace the whole blower fan assembly. :pout:

Then there were my bags. Their sheer number has a tendency to overwhelm me with choices rather than allow me to fully appreciate them individually.

So with that in mind, I chose the 32 bags that I’m apt to wear most often and tucked the rest away in an ample unused closet on the other side of the house. :sleeping:

There they’ll remain until the occasion arises when I want to wear them rather than feel I should wear them. :speedy:
Poor Fim:hugs::hugs:
What a week.
I wonder what is worse..Your sister or the mice…:-s
Hopefully, your brother and younger sister will allow you to have more free time when they come back. It would be fair, wouldn’t it?:yes::yes:

Actually, Mariapia, it’s probably healthier for everyone concerned that I’m presently “the only game in town” when it comes to my argumentative younger sister’s ceaseless demands. :rtr:

As I’ve pointed out to her, while I’m more than willing to cater to her more reasonable requests, my patience is neither infinite nor my penchant for violence entirely suppressed. :whistle:

Nor are you a punching bag my friend.
 
Happy Monday, fellow Islanders! :wlae:

It looks like it’s going to be a day of unrelenting (though much needed) rain here by the Lake.

Which gives me the whole day to stay inside and reconsider some of the bags I tucked away on the other side of the house. :rolleyes:

Contrary to the notion “out of sight, out of mind” I keep asking myself why I’d bought them in the first place? :thinking:

Some answers are easier than others. I liked the particular style, am familiar with the brand, love the color... etc. :speedy:

Others fall into that black hole of boredom and bargain hunting that inexorably sucks many a bag lover in. :panic:

Hopefully I’ll avoid this hazard in the future. :noggin:

Love the Neverfull!
Which reminds me of my neglected Speedy.
Happy Monday, Tomsmom! :wave:

If your weather is anything like ours Upstate (rain and more rain) I can’t think of a more iconic bag to combat the elements in grand style. :tup:
Can you please, please send some rain our way. We are becoming a desert at the moment.

I have those bags, too.
Eventually I take them out. I made peace of mind - not every bag is meant for everyday use. And sometimes a neglected bag gets tons of use out of a sudden.
