back to the original post...

Ok, so a funny thing happened this weekend. Or maybe it isn't so funny... who knows. I'll try to make it short, but I'm not exactly known for being frugal with my words. (Haaaa Christine!!! Told you I'd do it!)

So, I was G00gling Ryan this weekend. I do it pretty often right now because I'm trying to catch any of the crap from the UNT deal before a reporter calls her (can you believe they do? ugh) Anyway, I noticed that her name has finally appeared on the UTA women's basketball roster (no indication yet whether or not the NCAA will grant a waiver. Should know in about a week or so) and a VERY short bio is listed. And then I noticed her picture.

Jesus H Christ! What the hell happened there? Don't get me wrong, I think my kids are the most beautiful things on the planet (we all do- and should) but this was a picture that even a mother, ESPECIALLY a mother- would NOT love.

So I called her up and asked her what the hell happened. She was sort of confused so I really went into the whole story of explaining why I g00gled her and what I came across and that everyone knows I'm going to put a link up but I just can NOT let anyone I know see my daughter looking like THAT!

She busted out laughing and said, "RIGHT! OMG I look BUSTED!" I laughed so hard I damn near choked on my tea. Busted? Wouldn't have used that word, but once she said it I really had to admire her choice of words. She was dead on. And speaking of dead... seriously, she doesn't look right. She said that she had taken a shower and fallen asleep with her hair wet then just got up and threw her practice jersey on and walked to practice. And it was 103 degrees that day. So she gets to the gym and all the other girls have their hair fixed, faces looking... not busted... and all she could say was, "Shit!" But then her trainer heard it or something and they had to run. Viola! Sure enough, its a busted version of Ryan... and her awesome mini bio with lots of grammatical and typographical erros. Altogether busted. Hopefully, they'll blur out the pic or something and maybe when they get her track bio up she'll be cute again. (Dear Jesus, I don't really ask for much... do I?)

And lastly, in May we all trekked down to San Antonio to watch the TABC All Star game that Ryan had been invited to play in. During the first full day there we went to this great little outdoor mall to pass the time. I stumbled across an oh-so-incredible Salvatore Ferragamo red patent leather bag that I was DYING to buy, but somehow really felt that Craig's extraordinary tolerance of my shopping habit would have come to SCREETCHING halt if I'd have even tried to come up with a way to spend $900 on a purse. A red patent leather purse, at that. I mean, how often would you really even carry it? They had a $400 version of it that I briefly considered but quickly realized I'd fare no better with that. So I held her and stroked her and told her I'd visit every chance I get. And I've been true to my word (well, just not in San Antonio)... until now.

See, remember that fab red trench I picked up for almost NOTHING in Rhode Island? Well I got to thinking how much I'd love a black leather Ferragamo bad and some spectacular Ferragamo high heeled dress boots. I mean, really? Can you imagine? Except that all that lovlieness would still be on ME, it'd be GORGE!

Before I get to the end of this story I may need to point out (just in case a few select people don't know this) Salvatore Ferragamo was the creater of the ruby slippers. THE. Ruby. Slippers!!! NO one knows patent (especially RED) like he does!!! Plus, I have a serious addiction to all things red, and a sick addiction to purses. It never ends.

So anyway, all that thinking about the black Ferragamos reminded me of my sweet little bag. So I decided to get one. Just not the really expensive one. But while I was looking at THAT one I stumbled across yet another red patent bag that was SCREAMING my name. Seriously, I heard it!!!

Wanna see 'em both? I thought soooooo!

Ferragamo... This picture doesn't show just how truly lovely the patent leather is. It's a thing of beauty, I tell ya! But actually... I'm thinking I'm happier with the cheap ones. I have three days to decide on this one. Hrrrrmmm?

... and the cheap date. This is a horrible pic because you can't copy the file except when it's tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny... anyway, I'm also getting the black patent one. Yay!

And while I was busy finding these treasures (and they're new, btw) I ran across this gem that I COULD NOT PASS UP. I mean, seriously, when you get THIS for $4, brand new? You go to jail if you don't buy it. That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

And just for good measure I'll show you what I was actually looking for when this whole thing started.
THIS AMAZING PURSE... can you suddenly hear the angels singing?
This would NOT go well with the trench and black boots but I'd be willing to wear sweats with it if I had to, just to carry it. (God, could you imagine THAT? Not good)
:::sigh:::

...plus these boots, but black patent leather, rather than just leather. Still stunning, agreed?

And with that, I really must depart. This whole thing has left me emotionally drained! hahaha
