Yesterday I went to my first purse party. What is a purse party you might ask? My first answer would be do you live under a rock? My next would be a party where you go to buy knock off Coach, Prada, Channel and Kate Spade bags. They usually have sunglasses and Tiffany & Co. jewelery too. The party I went to was held at a bar, so the guy put all of the purses in one great big pile. Seriously, it was like a small mountain of handbags. I circled the table a few times and decided on a large black Coach and some sunglasses. I then took a seat at the bar and had a few Miller Lites. (Coldest beer I’ve had in a long time might I add.) I sat there and watched all of the other women trying to decide on their purchases and thought I’ve seen this before. I was reminded of watching Shark Week on the Discovery channel. These women we very much in a shark like feeding frenzy, circling their back alley Coach’s and Tiffany necklaces. Going in for the kill. I would of found it more amusing had I not just made my own attack. It’s a good thing the guy didn’t sell lipgloss to, otherwise I would have spent a lot more money. I can’t wait for the next feeding frenzy!

Woo me back
As a recovering Catholic I have came up with this idea for the Catholic church to win me back into the fold. Let each Catholic borrow the Popemobile for a couple hours a year. Brilliant isn’t it!? I would totally trade going to Mass a few times a year for time in that sweet ride. This is what I would do with the Popemobile if I were allowed to borrow it. I would make Bridgette drive it and I would sit in the bubble and drink beer and wave at my masses.(Unknowing citizens of Edgerton) I know that drinking beer is involved in most of my dreams, but hey, what would you do with the Popemobile?
SLAM!
I swear if my neighbors slam a door one more time tonight I’m going to go crazy! I can’t wait to move!
Addiction
My name is Jodi and I’m addicted to Etsy. I love that website. I can’t help it. There are sooo many pretty things there. Right now I’m coveting a turquoise and brown purse. It’s oh so cute. I have allergies to most jewelry that isn’t sterling silver or 14k gold, so shopping for jewelry on Etsy is the best. It seems like everything is made of silver and isn’t much more than the crap at Target that makes my skin turn green and my ears feel like they are on fire. Being on vacation this week has done nothing but fuel my Etsy addiction. I’m glad I have to go back to work on Monday, otherwise my mental shopping spree would go on forever.
April showers
I know I shouldn’t complain because I’m on vacation. It’s been raining for like 3 days now. I wish I was better at taking naps. This would be the perfect napping weather. I’m just glad I haven’t had any outdoor plans. It would be nice to open the windows at least. I swear today we are having monsoons or something. The wind is just nasty. I don’t want to go outside today, but I’m meeting my mom in Janesville in a little bit. I wish I could buy a bubble to go around me, because I don’t think an umbrella is going to do shit today. Spring are you ever coming?
Vacation aggravation
Vacation aggravation: The weeks leading up to Jodi’s vacation from work. Has many different levels. Think of the Smokey the Bear fire warning signs you see up north.
The past few weeks the aggravation level has went from low to very high the past few days. Mostly just the sounds of the room I’m in. There are a lot, trust me. Now I’m officially on vacation, annoyances should be few and far between. I’m sure they will only occur in the form of my white trash neighbors. Here’s to the goal of cleaning out the old beer in the fridge this week!
April fools
Today my supervisor asked what the number of the new store was. I replied 867-5309. She believed me! It sounds a lot different when you just say it instead of singing it. I also jumped out of Eileen’s cube and said DANGER! She jumped. It was a good day for a bad girl.
