I was amused this morning. My "boss" came in asking if I could set aside my normal "morning duties" - (I don't know what he is referring to---I don't have specific morning duties; I do the same boring tasks everyday, every hour of the day) to for take a "treasure hunt" task this morning. Okay, guy, it's 11 o'clock, morning and its going to be officially over in about a hour. My boss is a nice guy, but I really think he tries too hard, and thinks too much. "Treasure hunt" task? What in the h_ll is that supposed to mean? Is he calling it a Treasure Hunt to make it sound more exciting? Give me a break already...
Anyway, while I'm listening him talk away about this exciting "treasure hunt", I discover that this task involves me doing data entry on a spread sheet. WOW.. I'm so excited now. He turns to leave and looks over my partition (he is somewhat short--cute, but short), and asks if the purse on my desk is a Coach. I can't stop laughing....
"Um...no, it's not a Coach. I don't spend money on purses." I reply, between laughs. In reality, I don't have money to buy a Coach purse, and if I did have money--I would think twice before spending a lot of cash on one. Again, how does he expect for me to have money to buy such a luxury, when I'm still presently employed at my low paying county job?! HELLOOOO!!!!
"Oh, it sure looks like one!" he replies, "I bought one for Sylvia (his beautiful wife) and it fell apart already!"
Okay! At this point I am so very tempted to tell him that I bought mine at Payless Shoes, but instead I tell him that she should take it back and get a new one. You know those purses are supposed to have a lifetime guarantee if I remember correctly. (I used to work at a department store that used to sell those expensive purses).
"Good idea! I will tell her!" His little head pops up above the partition again, and he slowly leaves the office.
I'm still amused. Husband, if you are are reading this, you should be proud of me, and very thankful that I don't spend money on so-called "luxury items". Sure, the purse I have is made in China as well, but I only spent $12 on mine...

This was great ... And it just goes to show that men don't know diddly about purses! I'm almost fifty two, and finally indulged in a Coach bag, after a lifelong succession of discount store 'finds.' My conclusion ? Although I love this purse, I am not one that should carry a purse like this. 'Coach' people are those that will spend money of one of these babies each season that the new colors come out. Me ... I bought a classic black leather model that should last me for the next ten years, because that is how long I am gonna use this thing. My guilt won't allow me to do any differently ! Lord help me if I decide to go crazy on a pair of shoes. Tina
Okay, well I must be honest and tell you I love Coach. I am the original "bag lady." LOL I love shoes too. Clothes as well. My mother condemned my closet but it ignored her:(
