well my dad asked me what to get mom- he already had a few presents but needed some other little things. I said she would like a movie- either The King’s Speech, Young Victoria, The Help, the new Jane Eyre, etc.
What does he come back with?
Cowboys and Aliens.
I had to rectify the situation- went out and bought a different movie and made him pay me back. haha.
Great, CoTH has gone VB. If y’all start touting the merits of Uppercase Living I am outie

I’ve hated VB for a long time, but lately I’ve seen a few patterns that I didn’t detest… and then yesterday I went to pick up a VB jewelry box for my MIL, who loves VB, and they didn’t have the one she wanted so I bought her a purse instead in a different pattern. That, the more that I look at it, is becoming startlingly attractive. And my purse did just break. So I found myself ordering her the jewelry box online, and now the purse is just sitting here, growing in beauty and desirability.
The pattern, incidentally, is “Happy Snails,” and just the name/thought of it makes me want to vomit, but, well, here I am and here is this purse.[/QUOTE]
TJ Maxx on Transit has some really cheap VB purses! I just got a super cute one for $15 :D.

And when you’re done, you can start your own jug band.

I really like this. And this. And this.
COTH, you’re a bad influence on me.[/QUOTE]
No joke! I live under a rock, so I’d never heard of Vera Bradley until this thread, but my tastes are pretty unabashedly flamboyant, so I actually really like the loud patterns. :lol:
Of course, I’m also a total cheap skate, so unless they show up at Goodwill, I’ll probably never buy one. :lol:
Chapter Two:
As the snail is coming back to the house (it took six months) he got run over by a tortoise.
Emergency room doctor asks the snail to describe how the accident occured.
Snail says…
“I don’t know, it all happened so fast!”
(There is a Chapter Three…)
OMG. I need Chapter Three.
Here you go…
Chapter Three
The tortoise was very sorry about running over the snail and visited him in the hospital.
Tortoise said" I 'm so sorry and when you are discharged I will give you a ride on my back."
The big day comes and the tortoise gives the snail a ride on his back.
While enjoying this ride, what does the snail say?
“WHEEEEEEE!!!”
OMG
:lol::lol::lol:
It is so sad how funny this was to me…
snort OMG. Easy peasy. Somber and morose? Horn hoobies are droopy. Irate? They’re laid flat against their heads. 
I have seven games you can play with snails…
But do you have the specialized stick and…well, can’t be rope…thread?

Well, I have one that is not funny and not horsey. But since Christmas is coming up again, and we’re all talking about it, I would be interested in what you guys would do with this.
A few years back, at the end of a very serious relationship that went suddenly and unexpectedly sour, my soon-to-be ex-BF gave me a VERY expensive watch. Here is how he did it. He called me and gave me his cc # and exp. date and told me to go online and buy it. He really wanted me to have it, but was too busy to do it himself. ??? At any rate, the danged watch is a Cartier and it cost a bundle.
Fast forward to today. I love the watch. In theory, at least. It’s a wonderful watch. But I hate the whole situation surrounding it. I always think of it as my “booby prize” (no pun intended) or “parting gift.” I think the guy felt very guilty for the very slimey thing he was doing, and this expensive watch made him feel better. In many ways, it made me feel worse. Definitely my worst Christmas gift ever.
AND, to keep it horse-related, I have nowhere to wear this watch anymore. King entered my life as the ex- exited. Now I live on a small farm with two horses and absolutely nowhere to wear this expensive watch.
So … do I keep it and wear it occasionally and forget about the whole awful-ness of the thing … send it back to the guy with a hateful note … or sell it on ebay?
Hate the guy. Love the watch. What to do?[/QUOTE]
Sell the watch and buy something HORSIE!
Murphy-your mom might like Cowboys and Aliens, just turn the sound off and drool at Daniel Craig and the other eye candy.
And KR-I second the sell the watch and buy something nice for yourself or the horses.
My mother and father in law are staying at our place for two looooong weeks. sigh
