  3. You are so creative! I would never be able to come up with an idea like this, it is great! I am so sorry to hear that IT came, when the time is right huh?! I know you've got to be sick of hearing that! "diagnosis--stupid dog" that was great!

  6. Love the bag! Love the stupid dog! So sorry about Aunt Flo, she's a beach. :(

    My Christmas was great...except when we drove 7.5 hours on a trip that should have taken only 3 at the MOST. Dang Texas Blizzard...and I aint talking about no Dairy Queen treat.

  7. Thank goodness you were able to get the bag clean. It is adorable!

    All four of my Christmases were great. My son made out like a bandit, being the first grandchild and all. My cats did try to eat the Christmas tree, however.

  8. I'm bummed that your adorable bag got puked on, but I was even more disappointed that it was Mr. MacDuff who vomited in it; I'm sure it's insanity, but I keep hoping that your dumb dog will win out even just ONCE. I give him credit for you not having to return said purse though... :)

    My Christmas was FABULOUS and I'm deeply saddened that the entire week didn't somehow stretch into more than that...

  9. Awww, maybe Barnaby was being clever? "Mom really wants this bag, but Dad says 'No way!'. How could I help Mom keep this bag? I don't really have anything...I'm feeling kinda wrecked. Oh, I'll yammy in her handbag, then she'll HAVE to keep it! Yes, yes, yes, that's what I'll do..."

    Timing is everything!

    *hugs* Hoping for a Happy New Year!!

    (oh, yeah, and Christmas was nice. lots of family time is a wonderous thing! well, luckily i love spending time with my family! heh.)

  10. Love the bag! Maybe Barnaby was helping in the only way he knew how...at least it was only puke and not something worse!!

    Babies when come when they are supposed to...and not a minute sooner, even though we want them to. And that sucks for us.

    I will pray that 2010 is the year your baby is ready! Have a blessed New Year Nat!

  11. Sorry about your Christmas, I must say it sounds kind of sucky with the period and everyone sick...

    Great bag, though!

  12. Ugh. You are so darn CUTE! Sorry about your stupid period. Lame.
    ReplyDelete
  13. Stupid period. 2010 is your year, I can feel it!

    That dog of yours is a super-secret genius I suspect. You should be thanking him instead of calling him names. Next time he might not be so thoughtful...just sayin'.

  14. I love the bag! Sorry about your period, I was praying for you to have your baby. It will come soon, don't you worry! Hope you had and otherwise wonderful Christmas!

  15. 1) Christmas on your own is TOTALLY overrated. All three Taylors have vowed never to let it happen again!!!

    2) Slippers from your husband that NEARLY force you to ask if a zip-up velour housecoat comes with them are ALSO overrated. One Taylor in particular has vowed never to let them happen again (how? not sure--by buying her own gifts next year, maybe?).

    3) Verdict? We survived severe homesickness and seriously tactless questions that most certainly would have ruined everyone's day if voiced. Beyond that, I can't say much for the day. Thank goodness Christmas is OVER!!!

    4) P.S. my slippers would look SMASHING with the Holbs's new Snuggie. Perchance is he a size nine? in women's shoes? If so, I've got a treat for him! ;)

  16. That bag is FABULOUS. You wouldn't want to trade it for a pair of slippers...would you?
