I'm a Grown-Up

I'm on the phone with *my* trader. Which actually isn't as big a deal as I'm making it sound but I think I'm entitled to live in the moment. He's babbling on about short-term trading fees or something like that. I'm just high on the fact that I have a trader and something to trade!

Before you all start thinking I'm loaded, this is simply the roll-over of my previous 401k accounts. I've just never had to deal with it on my own.

The other day I spotted one of my super-fashionable co-workers in her very cute and expensive Fighting Eel dress and her gorgeous Marc Jacobs bag that would make me choke if I ever knew the price. I was instantly envious of her bag to point where I started to dislike her in my head. It was such a beautiful bag! I only came to terms with it by reasoning that I can't buy Marc Jacobs now so I can save to buy groceries when I'm 70. I sure as hell better live to 70... or think of the joy I've missed owning that bag!

Food vs. stylish bag? Hmm, I sympathize as I have a love (or some call an obsession) with handbags myself. Some day you'll have ten Marc Jacobs bags, so just dream of that day :) But for now Target and Gap have great alternatives!

Non-handbag related... how did you get the photo of you and Brian on the righthand gutter of you blog? I am encountering technical difficulties...

How quickly you have forgotten creating envy with your "Prada" purse!

By the way - I had to Google Fighting Eel dresses - had no idea what they were!

I had a chance to get a Prada bag last summer.....or I could have gotten a pretty good summer wardrobe and a 'woulda coulda shoulda" knockoff....I choose the knockoff!

Buy the bag!!! I bought a Furla last weekend and feel like a million dollars when it's slung over my shoulder... even when I'm in my pajamas.
