Kyle and the burden of being a trendsetter.

My friend, Sylvia, told me that she thought Florence couldn't go on because I had laden her with an old-fashioned name and she was destined to a short life.  So this time around, it's Kyle.  I think (with all digits crossed) that he is a keeper.  After the initial drive, where I was hyper-alert to any noise - should it be a piston about to fire off in the wrong way - I have begun to relax into the drive. 


Scrappy approves.



I have to admit, it's a burden when people are always looking to you for illumination on the latest fashion trends.  All that flying to Paris, to Barcelona, to Buenos Aires, to Cleveland; being whisked from one fashion house to another - the champagne, the Gucci bags, the celebrity status.  It can wear you right out.  Right.

I did, however, turn the office on its collective ear this morning, when I trotted in through the front glass doors with this beauty on my arm.  It is the NEW rubber chicken.  Bag.  It is amazing!  I predict everyone will be sporting one by April.


My sister finds the coolest things!  I LOVE it!
 They are still murmuring about it.  Or about me - they are murmuring after all, and I can't quite make out the words....

Sweet new ride and I love the purse. Even better if the coin purse is an egg or a chick :)

DFW said...

Glad you are liking your new ride! Love the bag!

LindaCO said...

Congrats on the new car. Hope you get many trouble-free years.

Susan,

Great looking bag! Congrats on your new car :-)

Kyle is a very handsome fella, I hope you two have a long lasting relationship! The chicken bag is waaayy cool! :)

Mama Pea said...

Just make sure when you are carrying your new bag, the chicken head is facing forward. Otherwise, everyone behind you will be laughing. ;o}

P.S. Nice looking new car. But the question is: Can you fit a llama in the back?

Carolyn said...

Just IMAGINE how many farm critters you can jam into the back of Kyle!!

Oh, and I hate to burst your bubble, but my sister gave me MY chicken purse (exactly like yours, but my breed appears to be a Buff Orp.) over five years ago.

Your purse is WAY cool!!! Love it. And the new wheels look pretty good, too.

Susan said...

Thanks, Fiona!

Susan said...

Wouldn't that be adorable???

Susan said...

I am liking it more every day...

Susan said...

Thanks, Linda. I hope so, too. If I could just stop jumping at every noise...

Susan said...

Sylvie! I'll check them out.

Susan said...

Thank you, Sandy!

Susan said...

Candy - I am more likely to develop a long-lasting relationship with a car... :)

Susan said...

Mama Pea - If I fold her up real well and cover her in olive oil, I think she'd fit......

Susan said...

Carolyn - I should have known you Southern girls were way ahead of us... :)

Susan said...

I just love this bag - it always gets attention!

Susan said...

Love the bag. I had a manicure the other day, it felt so upscale. It was for the wedding so I had to keep it looking good for a few days, or as I called them, no digging in the ground days. Makes me think I'm not suited to the pampered life although soaking in a bubble bath, music and a glass of wine is an indulgence I need to ramp up.

Michelle said...

Love live Kyle, and the woman with the cool chicken bag!

Sarah said...

Congrats on the new car. The new bag cracks me up! I'm sure they'll be offering to buy yours as soon as they can't find one! :)

Susan said...

Susan - I don't think I could keep a manicure looking good for more than 15 minutes. It sure is nice when you have one, though. That bubble bath/music/wine scenario sounds fabulous!

Susan said...

Michelle - From your lips (or fingertips, as the case may be) to God's ear!

Susan said...

Sarah - LOL! They couldn't pay me enough.... :)

Janice Grinyer said...

Unknown said...

Pioneer Woman at Heart said...

I've seen those bags, and while on the island, we saw "fish" bags too. Hilarious!
