"If I could, I surely would"



Boy would I love to have this baby. I've had the same wallet since I was fifteen. Yeah, it's time to upgrade. Both elegant and functional. But what makes it functional is what really attracts me to it; it is without doubt the most functional handbag-wallet-type-ish-thing I've ever seen. And it comes in any number of colors; conservative browns, black, coral, robins egg, and my favorite, (shown here) saffron. A friend of mine has one and let me play with it. It was so choice! Too bad I don't have petty cash or it would so be mine:

the "International Lauren Clutch" made by HOBO. Sold at overpriced stores everywhere. Ballpark cost: $100, + or - ten. The cheapest I found online was $85. Tempting! But no, I can't justify it. *sigh*

You SOOO can justify it!...I did. Hobo wallets are the BEST!! They last FOREVER, their designs are timeless, and you'll look super hip too!!! I LOVE mine!

As your Grandma used to say..." if wishes were horses...beggars would ride." We don't want to make you a beggar here, do we? Hmmm...food and tuition, or Hobo... I guess the debate is over! ( It is nice though!)

Mom's right. Cell phone, rent money, SPAC, tuition, clothes that fit... "can't quite decide which sounds more fun."

Heather, I didn't know yours was a hobo! That must be why I love yours so much! And it IS true that I should get something quality. I think I'll just wait five years before getting a new wallet. Hmmm...
