Why Women Are So Special

I received this forward from a friend of mine and wanted to share it with you.

Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed." She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day lunches.. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning.

She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the excursion and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her bag.

Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails. Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed." "I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and radios, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the basket, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework. In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.

About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." And he did...without another thought. Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...?

Rambling II

I've been cooping up at home for so many days. I finally got out of hibernation as I needed to go to the supermarket to get my fresh fruits and vegetables. We are running really low of everything. What a nice change, to breathe of fresh air once again. This is how I live most of the days. I don't go out often unless it is absolutely necessary.

And I do this more in the winter. The thought of putting on layers of clothing, scarves, and jacket makes me want to stay in every single day. It's still so freaking cold outside and we will be expecting more snow again tomorrow. I just can't wait for spring to come.

While in hibernation I clean up my closet. Need to tidy up all my clothes and shoes and give some away to 'Goodwill' and I remember Cat asked me to show pictures of my shoes. So, here you are Cat ;)
I bought this new pair of shoes online last year and guess what. It was a bit too tight for my giant feet. Is a size 7 1/2 and I wanted to give it away. Just remember this shoe is much smaller then the usual 7 1/2 shoes. So any of you who wear this size send me an e.mail or leave me a comment with your address or email and I will mail it to you. Of course you have to be living here in US and is first comes first serve. No more buying shoes online for me ;)

Handbags Obsession

I love handbags of all kinds. I am sure most of us ladies can never have too many handbags. With so many trendy style it’s no wonder many of us have develop some kind of obsession with this fabulous accessory. One of them is me. I think my obsession start when the company I work with in the 80’s became the sole distributor for Charles Jourdan handbags and watches. I am able to buy it at a very cheap price and I have to have a handbag for all occasion.

My hubby fail to understand why I need so many handbags and he think we women spend too much money on it. I remember when he first met my sisters and we went Macy to shop for handbags he freaks out. He can’t understand why my sisters would pay over $500.00 for a handbag. I told him we paid for the design and name.

Handbags can be very practical. I have handbags for work, shopping, travel, dinner, clubbing and other occasion. I have to admit I spent a pretty good amount of money on handbags during my working days but not so much now. I still have boxes and boxes of it at my mom’s house. Maybe I should bring it here on my next trip home and sell it on EBay. A good handbag will last you a long time. I still have my Charles Jourdon and still in perfect conditions.

The good thing about handbags is that you don’t need to make any decisions until its time to go out and you will never have a bad bag day. You can have a bad hair day, a fat day or even a sad day but you can never go wrong with the perfect bag and we can never have too many of it. Don’t you agree with me? Here are the handbags I used regularly.

For travelling where I can dump everything in it
This is for shopping just to put my keys and purse
This is for short trip to Philly or New York - I can put my glasses, camera, fan, book and purse
The wristlets for my trip to supermarket just for cash and c.card.
For shopping
Night out or special occasion
For travelling
