Random Tidbits

30 July 2009

I have been reading the Number One Ladies Detective Agency books this summer (by Alexander McCall Smith). A couple of summers ago we listened to a couple of books on tape from that series and liked them pretty well (a little slow but still good) and I have started reading the rest of the books in that series. They are easy reads, not stressful or heavy, which is what I have been looking for in a summer read.

You might notice a new widget on my sidebar. Feel free to use it to search so I can earn some swagbucks :) or sign up to earn your own swagbucks here. My friend Ashley just cashed in some of hers for amazon gift cards, so it does work!

Speaking of amazon… we got a Amazon kindle. It is neat. It is great because you can read without having lots of books taking up space. I thought I wouldn’t like it because “its not a real book you can hold and turn the pages” but it is really okay. It is not like looking at a screen so it doesn’t really hurt your eyes.

I am now a Vera Bradley fan. I have a wallet from there and it is just too fun! I wanted a new one, my old one was bulging and didn’t match all my purses. I also wanted it to have a wrist strap and be able to put my cell phone and chapstick in it. Well when I bought it, it didn’t have a wrist strap but I thought, oh well, I like it anyway. Later after I got it, I found it did have one! It was just hiding!

Anyway, I want this Vera Bradley one day when I have a kid in Mod Floral Pink and/Or I want this Vera Bradley for a laptop bag (also in Mod Floral Pink).

I think the pinks will make my wallet go okay with that color so that I can stick it inside and it isn’t totally matchy-matchy but it “goes” as Stacy London says. What do you think? I also really like the large duffel bags for travel! It is all quite expensive but it would be fun for a Christmas/Birthday gift…hint hint mom and hubby! :) hehe There are so many fun colors, it is kinda hard to pick. I also like Peacock, Hope Garden, and Java Blue.
