So I found this absolutely amazing brown shoulder bag/purse that would fit my laptop perfectly as well as hold my books. It was on sale from $55 to about $32, so I figured I would take advantage. Well, my step-mother convinces me that ‘Santa’ is bringing me an even ‘cooler’ bag for Christmas and that I shouldn’t buy this amazing, perfect bag that I love. This sounds great, but my step-mother has a bizarre sense of fashion. She likes to think I love anything pink, fuzzy, sparkly, or glittery and I don’t - I never even have. Since she’s in the store with me I can’t exactly purchase the bag, so there was no chance of me getting it.

Well, my mom calls me later and asks how shopping was, etc. and I tell her the story. She seems pretty irritated, knowing that I’ve been looking for a bag exactly like the one in question for a few months now as well as because of the hatred she has for my step-mother.

Low and behold, my mom orders me the bag online. I’m a lucky daughter.

P.S. Here’s the bag in question:
