My Christmas Purse


So, What part of this does not scream Louis Vuitton? I got a wonderful gift of goodies in the mail that was waiting for me when I got home from Oregon for Christmas. The delicious items were packed it a very convenient/on-the-go shoebox, that I thought was perfect for any occasion!??
Cami and I decided to hit the movies for New Years day and as we were going out the door in our usual hurried- late surge, I grabbed the snacks and put a few other items in the box since it was sooooooooo convenient! I thought the shape of the items that fit into it and the perfect under the arm transport fit were a match made in heaven. Little did I know this was not the apparent fashion statement that I should have been going for. As we were walking out the door Cami asked me if I would like to use one of her purses - that she had a LOT I could pick from (she is so good to me!)
**Now I have to tell you about a very sacred pack that Cami and I have that would instigate this conversation (not that she would not have politely made the suggestion with out the pact… however this is a free license to make wardrobe or fashion ‘suggestions or strong recommendations’ at any time! Due to the following:
Once upon a time I can across a picture that was really awful – you know, the “Why didn’t somebody tell me that looked so awful?” kind. So Cami agreed that from there on out ( as she could have told me before) she would – as ALL dear friends do – tell me if something about my wardrobe or presentation is particularly just WRONG!**

Since that time she has ‘helped’ me innumerably which brings us to said story… before we went out the door I received another STRONG request to use one of the many purses that might be available, and declined.

So –off we went to the movies and enjoyed the curious case of Benjamin (not to be confused with Bengerman, because that is not a word) Button – which was a fun movie I thought… and on the way out of the movie --as we are most usually the last ones out before the cleaners come in because we like to chat about the movie (if it was any good that is), Cami says while passing the cleaners “ I can’t believe you brought your Bird!” I looked around asking what bird? I don’t see any bird? I didn’t know what she meant then one of the cleaners asked the other one -“ Is there a bird in that box!!??” as Cami is laughing all the way to the car-

Haha Cami thought she was funny – and when I finally go it, I did too. That was the last adventure with my stellar box purse. I’ll let everyone know what the official line will be out as I am sure that you all can hardly wait to have one of your very own!

- Don’t be jealous!

ha ha they are funny! :)
NOTE: I offered her a purse more than once! I have many. I mean a back pack or something - no she chooses a shoe box. You guys I was laughing so hard I couldn't even stand it!

Yes the bird - they really thought she had a bird in the box. She's looking up, "Bird? What are you talking about, where's a bird!" I couldn't even talk I was laughing so hard!

Okay first of all there is a limit to how many comments you can make , hello Heaton's!!!! Ha-Ha! And second of all I was laughing so hard the night you guys told me this, but I am laughing even harder when I am reading it, this is so funny, and I have spread the news on the famous box, and Dorothy thinks this is the most practical thing ever invented so I wouldn't doubt that the next time I got to the movies with B and Dorth that she will have one of these amazing boxes in hand with not that much space between her side and her forearm!!! Ha-Ha I love this story and I think it is even funnier because you guys tell it, thanks for making me laugh at work and look like a fool because I am giggling with my self!!!

Hi Sis, I love the box story. Maybe this year you can upgrade your wardrobe to a garbage sack with a colorful drawstring? Happy New Year. Cami has a great sense of humor.
