I don't usually have the patience for subtitles. That means I can't look away from the screen.

DH is somewhat less adventurous with food. He is adventurous in that he likes to try new cuisines, but there are very few vegetables he'll eat and he won't eat melted cheese or cream sauces. When he orders, he never gets a thing the way it comes - he has to tell them all the things to leave off. Once we went to this place that had a great grilled chicken sandwich with melted cheese and pesto sauce. He ordered it without the sauce and cheese, then complained that it was dry. If he has a bad experience, he won't go back to a restaurant. At Italian restaurants he always orders spaghetti with meat sauce (no cheese). I order different things at different Italian restaurants so I could to each of them a day apart, but since he gets the same thing, we have to wait until he feels like spaghetti again.

When I start a new book or start watching a movie, I don't like to read much about it before I start - I want to be surprised, but he likes to know the whole plot practically before we start a movie. 4 or 5 times during the movie, he'll put the description up again. He never watches regular TV series, only documentaries and reality shows. I have lots of shows I watch, mostly crime dramas.

I love to read. I always have a book going, usually fiction. I get bored with nonfiction usually. I like paper hardbacks. I get them from the library.


I read a book about Coco once. It kind of destroyed my image of her.

You are so patient with your DH! That's true love. :heart:

I went back a few pages and saw @Syren is back! Woohoo! I missed you and your purse pics lol. Invisalign’s are a big commitment. Lol I had a few friends who did it too. One friend used to say she’d have saliva stuck in the trays while they were on. Hopefully that doesn’t happen to you lol.

I agree with having so many tv show to watch. It does get overwhelming, but I’m fortunate enough to be able to watch things while I’m working. So I do go through shows and movies quickly. And I try to save the inappropriate shows for home lol. Tbh, I spend so much time watching at work that when I go home, I don’t feel like watching and just kind go with whatever the kids or DH want to watch or I catch up on my manga or books.

On a personal note, I’ve hit the 30 week mark this pregnancy. It’s dawning on me how quickly 10 weeks can go by. Baby gear shopping is so different from before and it’s really distracted me from bag shopping lol

30 weeks already. Time flies by for sure. Not much time left. Hang in there.

I just bought some jeans from AE - black jeggings. Their sizing has changed. I have 3 pairs of skinny jeans from them, all different sizes! I have bought Aerie underwear in the past but I have tons of underwear now from VS. My favorite bra is Victoria's Secret dream angels demi. It fits me perfectly. I've been wearing those for years. My daughter does too. We're both very busty.

My DD wears their jeggings too. I wish I have the bod to wear skinny jeans or jeggings — I need to exercise more, eat healthier, or somehow lose my “maternity” pouch, lol.

I have really skinny legs so they look more like skinny jeans on me. It is rare that I find any that are skin tight on my legs. I like them because they are really stretchy, so very comfortable, and they fit easily into my Uggs. When I wear baggier jeans they don't look good. I don't have much of a butt, so they start to sag there.

Exercise never worked for me in toning my body. I have a lot more fat around my waist than I used to.

Thank you House :smile:. These are so beautiful—I love the look of each one. I think I only remember the purple one. The melon and turquoise colors are really pretty too. I may need the black duffle in my life after all but I missed out on the extra 20 off (I hate knowing that extra discount was just available, lol). And also the fact that I shouldn’t buy any more bags this year — we will see how strong my resolve is.

I always think I'm trying hard not to buy bags which isn't working. Lol! You are much stronger than I. Good luck!

Sold a bag today!

Also bought a bag today haha This one has been on my list for a good long time. It’s been teasing me for about a month and I finally purchased it from a purse friend today :smile: Oldie but a goodie, Black grommet Borough. Haven’t bought a bag in about 3 months? So I don’t feel tooooo guilty LOL

Oooh, I so love this Borough! I actually got it on fos for a steal and I stared at it for a week. It took a bug effort, but I decided to return it because I knew I would hardly carry it. (You know me and black bags...) I almost couldn't let it go at the store. The SA who took the return was in shock at what I was doing. As I told her, this beautiful bag deserves to be worn often and I knew I would not do that. Guess what she put it aside and bought it herself. :biggrin:
So glad you found it! Enjoy it in good health! :idea:

This is pretty too. Yippee for Multiples, just kidding. When I first started liking Coach again, I went crazy with the Legacy Duffles and had around 18 (I rationalize as such — ok, just a couple, then ok, no more than 7 for a different one each day of the week, or 10 is a good round number or 14 is a great number for a different one for every 14 days, etc). I had just joined TPF and there was one gal (no longer active) with about 25 Duffles so I thought it was “normal” to have so many. I had multiples of Dakotahs, Swagger 27, etc. Then when things got out of hand, I decided that no more than 3-5 of each style at the most. Now, I only have multiples in 2 Coach styles (5 or less, lol).

Lol! You really went to town! The most I've had of any bag is 4. this for someone who didn't want any multiples. :lol:

This year I've been recording how many times I carry each bag. So far this year, except for the bags I've already decided to sell or given to my daughter, I've carried every one of them at least once except for one that I normally carry around Christmas.

That's great! There are bags of mine I have not carried because I have such a mess in my closet that I can't even reach them! :frown: Part of my Thanksgiving break will be spent taking care of that. Again. :whut:

Iam, I think if you are going to use the black Tabby hobo (and you like that style) I would get it and not worry about selling another.

First, I’m like @BeachBagGal in that I love black handbags. You can never have enough. They are good all year round.

Second, this bag is in a style you enjoy and would carry. It would be very functional for you.

Third, you’ve been careful over the years and refining your collection. I think you know what you want and use.

I say go for it! Can you get it for 30% off with the current promotion?

ML is right, @Iamminda . Ditto to every thing you said here, ML.
