goodbye

i sent back my poo poo colored dior wallet today. it is typical of me to always procrastinate a bit (not intentionally since i do feel anxious thinking about the things that i have to do until it gets done) but it happens. today, i finally had the opportunity to visit a local fedex shop to mail the wallet back. it felt good to do so though i'm a bit annoyed that i had to spend roughly 15 bucks (the cost of mailing the wallet back) just because i ordered something that i should have looked at first in person. another tally mark AGAINST online shopping!!!! let me count...that's like 3 tally marks already! ugh!

when i was in the shop, this woman in front of me had many of her personal items laying on the counter. i can tell you what she had: keys with a public library card attached to it, cell phone, planner, a few bills and coins (no wallet!)....AND no purse. what a mess. she started apologizing to me when she took a bit of time to gather her things at the end of her task. in my mind, i was thinking "stranger lady, might i recommend a purse for you? the kooba nina small shoulder bag in slade is pretty hot, though i only saw this online and if you only knew why i am here in the first place...but i digress. it's on sale now on eluxury for under 300 dollars. if i wasn't already traumatized by the poo poo colored dior wallet quite recently, i might have bought this myself."

well, the lady finally gathered her things and left and i FINALLY mailed the dior wallet back for a refund. so what is the lesson learned today? buy things online if you've already seen it in real-time AND we ALL need a purse...even some men do, too.
