Saturdays can be fun!

Here it is, another Saturday, and I decided that today I'm going to do things different.  Or rather, I'm going to take some time to do something for myself.  I rarely do that any more, because I like being a home-body, but sometimes that's not enough!

This morning, I jumped in my car and dashed over to my fav park to try out the new camera; not happy with all the results, there are areas I need to work on!  But 40 minutes away from the house was nice.  When I uploaded the photos, I found that there's an issue with bright light that I need to compensate for.  Perhaps I just need a UV filter.

Then I changed clothes and decided that I would head for the mall (mostly because it's AC'd and today's weather was a warm 99+ )   I shopped for a couple new work shirts, and ended up with a navy tie dye tshirt and another tshirt with a dragonfly embroidered on it! 

Then I shopped for a new purse, mine was getting a little ratty on the handle.  But deciding on which one?  Wow, that took a long time! 

  • First there is all the lovely colors: beige, tan, navy, black, red, purple (and every other shade in between!)  
  • Then there's the fabrics - leather, vinyl or actual fabric 
  • What about the size:  too big, too small, not enough pockets, way too many pockets
  • Lastly, the most important part for me is the handle.  Can't be too short, because I dislike carrying a purse in my hands.  I want a shoulder bag.  

Narrowed it down to a lovely light denim printed one, but had to discard that choice because my wallet didn't fit in the purse.  lol   Then I found a navy quilted one, but it was too large, too many pockets.  A lovely lavender one that would fit cross-body, but my Kindle didn't fit.  I ended up with a medium size bag with two pockets, one fits the Kindle, the other my wallet and glasses.  With a couple of fringed tassels on the zipper pulls, I decided on the black one.  Mission Accomplished!
