One of my very, very favorite things!

For those of you that know me well, you know that I have an obsession with purses. I would rather have a new purse than new clothes or shoes. There is something about purses that makes me so happy. I don't know what that is or where that comes from. I could shop for purses everyday and not get bored.

My favorite purse of all time that I have been dying for is an authentic Juicy Couture pink and brown Daydreamer bag. Oh my goodness. It's so beautiful.

I have been on ebay looking for a decent used one because they are a little on the expensive side and I couldn't justify spending money like that on myself. But when I'd find one and get close to purchasing it, I'd chicken out at the last minute.

Recently, my friend Kurt and I were at the Keystone mall shopping when we passed through the purse section. There...in front of me...staring me in the face was the pink and brown Juicy Couture Daydreamer bag! OMG...I started having heart palpatations. Kurt, who knows of my Juicy obsession, goes over to the purse, grabs it from it's display and says, "Christy, come over here and look at it. It's so cute. Rub it on your face. Put it on your arm and see how it looks." Inside, I was dying. As close as it was to Christmas there was NO WAY I would purchase this item for myself. I had to leave the store. I knew the longer I stood there, the worse it would get and I had to get as far away from that Juicy as I could get. It was just too tempting. You'll be proud to know that even though Kurt thought I should buy it, I resisted temptation and dragged myself from the store.

When I got home from Indy that day, I told Chad about my close encounter with the Juicy and he got quite a kick out of it. He laughed at how Kurt teased me about the purse and how I had a near coronary while in the proximity of the aforementioned obsession.

Two weeks later, Chad gave me an early Christmas present. He gave me this huge box and when I opened it and saw the Juicy paper it was wrapped in, I began crying. Like a complete idiot, I cried for about 20 minutes. My heart was in my throat and beating so hard that I thought I might need some extra oxygen. It was a genuine Juicy Couture pink and brown Daydreamer bag. I couldn't believe he bought it for me.

No one ever got me anything like that. It wasn't necessary, it was something that I didn't have to have yet he bought it for me because he knew that it was something I really wanted.

I had to include a picture of my new Juicy. Isn't she pretty? Even if you don't think so, I love her....she's totally yummy!
