Dallas, Keys, and Goldfish

Brian and I went to Dallas this weekend.
(actually we are still there :-)) <<-Smiley w/ double chin?

One thing about the working world that is very different from college is that you can't skive off classes and work is never cancelled. Unless I go home by myself, we never get out of town until 6:00 at the earliest. It takes a whole night off of a visit because everyone we love lives so far away :-( We had a lot of fun anyway.

Yesterday, we went to a store called Sam Moon. For those of you who have never had a Sam Moon experience, imagine that you are watching the discovory channel. You know that rotting carcass with thousands of flies swarming all over it? That is the attitude and atmosphere of this store... at least on a Saturday morning. It was SOOOOOOOO crowded. Flies drive from other states to feed on this carcass. What do they sell you ask? Purses... Weaves... gawdy jewelry... suitcases worthy of Rita Skeeter (lady bug patterns- 8 piece set)... Brian's mom found a nice purse though. He and I had to go outside and escape the buzzing.

We then went shopping and I lost my keys. This is a common occurance. I have been known to loose my keys on a VERY regular basis (several times a day). However, because they are usually somewhere around the house, it's just not that big of a deal. Yesterday though, it happened while we were shopping at random places. I didn't realize what had happened until we got back to Brian's mom's house. We then had to drive 30 mins back into town to retrace our stores. Luckily, Old Navy had them :-) After this rather alarming incident, I finally broke down and purchaced a purse big enough to hold my keys.

I should explain about my purse issues. I am a goldfish when it comes to purses, bags, luggage and houses. I expand to fit the size of my container. For the last several months, I have used a very small grown up purse. This forced me to carry only what I absolutely needed. This keeps me from having to dig around every time I need something, and keeps my neck pain free. Brian's mom kept trying to get me to choose a bigger purse. I finally settled on a slightly bigger purse... and am already thinking of all the things I can fill it with- it's so empty!!!

I may be coming to Bossier this weekend. Who will be in town?

POST A COMMENT!!! :-)

Edit:

Well, Brian and I got home at 10:00ish. We left Brian's mom's house at 3:30, but had to go pick Sinatra up from the groomers, get some Starbucks, get lost in the never ending stripmalls, and be thwarted by "no U-turn" signs. All is good though. Peace be with you.
