I heart (expensive) purses

Purse lovah. I have a thing for white purses, but then who’d want it to get dirty? I certainly have no idea how to clean purses.

After browsing online for some purses, I was lusting after a nice brown one. I headed into the local Coach store and found a lot of ugly purses. I don’t like the name to be sprawled everywhere, and I’m more a fan of leather, than I am fabric. The leather one’s weren’t that eyecatching to me.

The other day I went into H&M after work and I spotted a purse that was inexpensive and pretty. And in brown! I don’t own any brown or black purses. So, I snatched it up and bought it instantly. This is the type of purse I would like to have last me a long time. If it was real leather I’d be happier. But this bag will probably only last me six months to a year.

But it’s nice, right? I am definitely bringing this purse with me to British Columbia on the airplane. Well — I’m off to make some custom luggage tags. Seriously. I am. Benefits of being a Graphic Designer!

Featured on Healthy Living Blogs

Totally random but sometimes I can be a really awkward person, even with writing blog entries. Other times I’m not — but I wanted to mention that I blogged on the Healthy Living Blogs website today, and was featured on the main page. Super cool. You can check out my blog post: What Healthy Means To Me there!

What is everyone up to this fiiiine evening? I’m going to sit my butt down after a long hard week and watch some TV online… either Big Brother 12, or some other shows that I don’t get from not having cable on our not so fancy bulky mini tv. We’re actually looking at some new tv’s at Future Shop, like the huge flat screen television sets. We definitely need a bigger place though too… all in good time.

Health talk

Remember when I sweet-talked my Family Doctor’s receptionist to make an appointment for me to have a pulmonary function test done? It worked! She booked one for me for the middle of September which may seem like ages away, but it’s perfect!

Meanwhile, I also had my ferritan (iron) tested again. I knew it was going to be low since I rarely eat iron enriched foods such as red meat, spinach and the like. I ended up taking iron supplements such as Palafer. I used to be really strict with myself, taking the supplements and then ended up stopping because I had to take so many pills like Docusate Sodium  (don’t make me explain, just google it lol)to counter-act the affect Iron had on my body. My iron is back down to a low grade at 7. Apparently iron is supposed to be between 10 and 291. Quite a range, so 7 is pretty low. I think when I had it first checked in 2006, it was down to 3 or something crazy. Well that explains why I’m feeling tired constantly. I just thought “that was life”. Ha!

Anyway, enough of this health talk, I’m outta here. But don’t forget to enter my contest — you can have a chance to win a $60 gift card to CSN stores. Just tell me a good story and maybe I’ll pick you. Also, has anyone seen any movies lately? I don’t frequent the movie theatre that often, but the Boyf and I saw Inception on Tuesday (cheap night) evening and it was insane! Have you seen that one??? Wow, is all I can say. I wasn’t expecting the movie to be like that at all. Leo is such an incredible actor, and that Cillian Murphy guy (who I blogged about years ago) is still creepy as hell. His cheek bones and deep set light blue eyes scare the heavens out of me and if I was to have a nightmare with an axe murderer in it, he’d be the culprit. Just sayin’.
