Bless Your Heart

Living out loud in the Carolinas

It is 3:17 am.  I can’t sleep.  CSP is at work.  Poor guy has to work all night then come home and drive me to surgery.  We have to be at the surgical joint at 7 for my 9am surgery.  I don’t know why it never really clicked in my head that I would be practically immobile for at least a couple days.  I’ve accepted a purse party invitation for Saturday night and even coordinated a ride since I can’t drive.  I need a Spring bag and come hell, high water, or surgery, my accessories will not suffer!I’ve lost my mind.  I have a feeling that at 6pm Saturday, instead of perusing adorable bags I will be knocked out and doped up on my sofa with my swollen knee under a pound of ice.  Hmmm maybe I can get a girl friend to snap some pictures of the bags for me and email them over.  Perhaps instead of brainstorming bag buying strategies I should go shave my legs and paint my toes.  I don’t want my doctor to have to hack through the growth to get to my knee.  And I should probably pick out a pair of cute panties.  Who knows what they talk about while you’re under anesthesia!

    GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

    AND I love bags; what sort of bag are you looking for to take during springtime? Personally, I love the newest bag from Coach, Heritage Stripe collection in either Geranium or Grass. I can’t decide.
