Life

This is what it's all about. What your parents try to explain, but never quite manage. The struggles you have no concept for as a child, as a teenager, and only begin to see glimmers of as a college student.

See, it all seems pretty rosy at first. You fall in love, get married, buy a house -- somewhere in there you hopefully finish college. In my case, still finishing. But my husband finished his MA, so that's got to be good, right? Sure, we owe tons of money to financial aid, but that's not too big of an issue, cause with his Master's, he should be able to get a pretty good paying job, right? I mean, isn't that the point?

Am I sounding bitter? I'm trying not to. Really, I'm only a little bitter. Mostly I'm shaking my head at the irony of life.

A little personal indulgence can do wonders for the soul. To make myself feel better, I've purchased this handbag, but with more blues and purples than the green in the symbols. I tend to wear lots of blue and purple, so I figured it would match my wardrobe more that way. :)



I also got the matching wallet. I'm so excited I can hardly wait for it to get here. My old purse is just getting uglier by the day.
