Because I Need An Excuse

My sister joined us yesterday to celebrate Mister Man's birthday with her new (shelter) dog, Milo. While she was there, she mentioned that she had bought a sweater for Milo for winter (poodles get cold, especially the little ones; they're all around wimps). Hmm, I thought. I remember the sweater we had for our toy poodle growing up. She couldn't find one like that. I be that would make a great Christmas gift for her.

So yeah, after I write this, I'm off to go Google for a pink "poodle power" sweater. Only because I'll never have to see it again after I give it to her, and I know she'd love it. Personally, dressing dogs kind of freaks me out a little.

I also started thinking about what else I can get her for Christmas. Hmm. I realized she was using one of my mom's purses yesterday, which leads me to believe that she needs another purse. Phew -- an excuse to buy a purse, and not even for me. Then I realized this would also be perfect for one of my best friends. Ooo, two of my best friends. Ahhh, those are always the tough people to buy for.

Now all I have to do is find the purses. Luckily, Marcy over at Able's Antics turned me on to a brand new website dedicated to purses that is launching on Wednesday. Handbag Plant is not only launching their new site on Wednesday, but they're giving away a purse an hour to celebrate. All you have to do is head on over and give them your first name and email address. But if you do, promise to leave my 11am giraffe spot purse alone. I really want that one. Ummm, for me. I'll be back to find purses for my sister and friends.
