Those of you who know me personally or have spent any time at all reading this blog will probably recognize that I am NOT very concerned with impressing people in ways such as buying expensive designer clothes, bags, shoes, etc.
Well some of that is because I'm broke anyway, some of it is because I grew up with everything I needed but not lots of extra unnecessary expensive things, so I don't feel the need, and part of it is because seriously, some designer stuff is just WICKED UGLY.
Case in point, I have a special intense hatred for Louis Vuitton. It really bothers me that most of their "design" centers around putting a tiled image of their logo (which is also ugly) on their bags. Wow, how innovative. It really REALLY bothers me that anyone:
- Finds this aesthetically pleasing
- Finds the accompanying price tag acceptable
I would now like to show you the latest example of hideous ugliness they are bestowing on the world and ask you, dear reader, really, is this a joke?

Important notices
Notice my new header photo! I will try to put a note here anytime I change it. This is from my trip to Italy last September. We had a lovely day at the Avignonesi Vineyards and Winery in Tuscany.
Questions about my new weblog platform?...
Glad you asked. It's a super awesome new platform for creating weblogs or any other dynamic site created by my genius boyfriend Rob (robreed at gmail dot com). Email him and tell him how awesome he is.
Why you should visit this site regularly
Because I'm totally hilarious and mostly all I ever do is get too upset about everything, which is typically entertaining for everyone else.
What's going on right now
We're still working on getting settled at our new condo in East Boston. The living room paint color took four tries and we had to paint the final color twice because we screwed up the wall after the first time trying to put a shelf up. We recently discovered our kitchen sink isn't properly sealed to the counter and leaks. The garbage disposal was also leaking and getting worse. Then it fell off recently and I reattached it, after which the leaks from the disposal stopped. Good thing we're not too scared to do some home repairs ourselves. Someday I hope to decide the place is settled enough to have a long overdue housewarming party.
