FOUND!

It took almost 2 years, but I have found it; the "perfect" white bag is MINE ALL MINE!!! (insert evil laughter here)
Here is a pictured of the bag:

It very nicely works as a tote and also has a strap for slinging it over my shoulder when getting Freya into or out of the car because I can't seem to be able to streamline the whole getting going in the morning thing.
Many thanks for the super gorgeous suggestions - lots of drooling was involved looking at them. I found this bag at New York & Company via the website like.com. And if the truth were told what makes it perfect is that I could go and get it on my lunch break and that it came in at under $40.

Ode To a Target Wine Cube

Also known as sometimes the stress of finishing an entire bottle before it gets that nasty vinegar edge to it is too much when one goes to bed at 9 p.m.

Wine from a box is hardly something that I would consider as a fantastic thing. That was before I discovered the Wine Cube at Target. Take a nice wine (award winning even) and put 2 bottles worth into a cute little square that fits nicely on the kitchen counter.

I guess when the most stressful thing going on is whether or not I can finish a bottle of wine, things must be going pretty well!

In other news, Freya had her tear ducts opened last week. It was a huge success! She doesn't look like she's always crying. Now I just gotta get the chapped cheeks under control. Oh, and you know you are a new mother when you kick a nasty diaper rash to the curb and want to brag about it to everyone you work with.

"Hey Sivy! What did you do this weekend?"

"OH! Just kicked some diaper rashes ass!!"

Yeah, I'm totally the party girl! Here it is, only Tuesday and I am planning my weekend: I WILL go to Ikea if it kills me (need a comforter cover, toddler tubby and Swedish meatballs) and I need to hit the super-mega Target and get me some wine cubes. At $10 a piece -LOVE-!!!

The Elusive

I have started on a quest - to find the perfect white bag. My prize has become probably the most elusive thing I have ever decided to search for. I don't want anything very expensive, because however much I am longing for the PWB, I am also fickle. And will suddenly decide that the PWB is dead to me, and I must carry this lovely orange bag I just found at Target instead. I guess that I would help if I had some inkling of what I wanted style wise - tote or hobo or some cross-body thing. Currently I am leaning toward hobo, and thinking leather or a nice pleather. Because as much as I don't want to spend big bucks, I also don't want the damn thing to fall apart on me. Or get all scuzzy looking and have no cleaning options.

Sigh.

I did get my pedicure, and my toes look wonderful! My hair however is still a tragic mess because I can't decide what I want to do with it. One day I want to shave my head and the next I want it all piled up in a messy knot. Actually - it spends most of it's time up in a messy knot. I really should just get over myself and get it cut already. Sheesh. I'm acting like it won't grow back or something.

Anything else??? Not really - I'm getting ready to do yet another purge of the closet. I have managed to go down a size or two since last spring (when I was the size of an ocean liner). I really enjoy cleaning out the closet and making it a nice and tidy. Makes room for pretty new clothing. I'm thinking that this spring I am going to focus on dresses and skirts. And see if I can finally find an apple green cardigan (ooh - perfect with the white pants).

I seem to be doing a lot of searching for elusive items... I also want a pretty sundress (instead of you know an ugly dress, lord) for Freya's birthday. Her cute dress will be much easier to find, the stores are full of cute as hell brown and pink polka-dot's!

Off to search the interweb's for a white bag, because I haven't already worn a hole in the search engine's yet...
