I was surprised to hear handwriting, and being able to read a clock, are no longer necessary. I teach my boys handwriting (with Handwriting Without Tears) and they have analog clocks. My middle one never wanted to write lower case until he learned handwriting.

How can you make us wait a few more days? Please hurry (the weather is nice now so great time to take pics, lol). Ok no pressure.
I haven't gotten it yet. I bought it on ebay. I'm waiting until it gets here. I am so excited! It is really hard for me to wait.

In the meantime, here is the vintage purse I bought a few weekends ago.

I need to go do a little cooking, but I cannot help responding. I had a conversation with a community college instructor who teaches microbiology, maybe going back 6 or 7 seven years ago when I was teaching. Her students had a lab assignment and it involved estimated the growth of a bacteria colony. Something along the lines of if it takes X minutes for Bacteria A to reproduce and you have YY # of bacteria, how many bacteria are there after 2 hours?
She had students, more than a handful, debating the correct answer. After getting nowhere with them, she had them explain their calculation from start to finish. The students were basing their calculations on 40 minutes in an hour. :huh:

Congrats. This red is absolutely fabulous. How big is it? I am not familiar with this bag — guessing it is smaller than a City Bag or Stewardess Bag. Ok no problem about your other bag (lol, I thought you already received it).
 
OK here is my random purse thought of the day. It is hard to resist buying bags when you start buying a lot for a period of time. I think I have to approach it as follow — my purse-resisting “muscle” (for a lack of a better word) must be trained to be strong or at least back to normal (lol). Like if you break your leg, it gets weak and needs to slowly be trained back to normal function. So that’s what I need to do. I will start slow and go a month at a time so no buying bags for me in March. It’s hard to remember but outside of TPF, our/my level and frequency of bag-buying is not the norm. Anyone who wants to join me (after receiving your already bought goodies) is welcome to do so.
 
My favorite travel purses are my pebbled Legacy drawstrings. They seem indestructible and are big enough to hold a water bottle and lots more. The last trip I carried my Bleecker woven hobo. I've also carried my Bal on trips when I want to impress. If I want more than one purse, I'll pack my chevron Sophia because it is nylon and won't get crushed in packing. I used to have a saffiano tote that I used on a very long trip because it is waterproof and doesn't show damage. It still looked brand new after months of use.

All so nice and as per usual jealous of your fobs!

The one day I don’t check my email or look at Neiman Marcus website the sale items go an extra 20% and I should have known because Bergdorf Goodman went 20% on sale items on Sunday but I went to Yoga this morning and then never checked and at lunch time I checked and saw the extra 20 off and the one item I wanted was sold out online, so I do what anyone else would do call the store, well they have it but they won’t price match online - are you kidding?? That is their policy, the store and online are two different entities- what is this 1999?

Thank you for letting be b***tch a little maybe I didn’t need that SLG item and NM is making sure of it!

That's frustrating!
