When a Love Affair Becomes an Obsession: Then There Were Three

I am now resuming my love affair with Enid Collins. By 1994 I had over a dozen Enid Collins bags. The operative word here is "had". Now I own three handbags. Please take my advice; NEVER, EVER put a non-fashion conscious male in charge of placing your collectables in storage. I started collecting in 1986 when I could purchase most bags for under $20. Now, I must start over. All you folks who know and love me, create an ebay account and let the spoiling begin.

The Past Few Days
I attended a Desperate Housewives party. Not a viewing party, but, the kind where the females on my block meet and you know... The next night when the actual show was broadcast, I did my usual "viewing" thing. This time was even more special because it was the two hour season finale! I liked the allusion to Norman Bates at the end.

I was a hostess at a literary function. The first guest to arrive was from England. I really enjoyed our visit. Her next work is coming out soon. It was due this month, but had some delays. Pauline , I really enjoyed meeting you. I shall be in touch soon.

Our Houston area professional organization had our annual awards luncheon. I regret that I had to leave early, before I had a chance to do my part on the agenda. I even missed dessert. I can be sure I will be on the program next year. I shall be president for 2010 - 2011. I think I'll start planning our 2010 winter holiday party, our 2011 legislative visit, and our 2011 awards luncheon, now.
