Pickle 2.0 and purses...

Alberto says I am the world's worst blogger.  I told him between raising two kids, holding a full time job, being Booster Club secretary, hanging with our neighbors, traveling for family, traveling for dance and driving the kids around I hardly have time to eat pickles, forget about writing about them!  Really, I am not quick on my feet, so I said, "I know."

Let me start by saying that Jenny's pickles has EXCELLENT customer service.  Miss Jenny read my blog, sent me new pickles and apologized for the previous jars.  Two thumbs up for Miss Jenny's pickles.  Since the event occurred so long ago, I cannot re-review them at this time, but will order from them again.  Customer service like that does not happen in this day and age.  As extra incentive to order from them, they are offering free shipping over the summer to all orders over $25!  Everyone should take advantage of this:

My family recently visited the Lone Star state.  While we were there, my daughter and I did our requisite vacation shopping.  Claire and I went into the Coach store at the Barton Creek Mall in Austin, TX.  My old coach purse is starting to show signs of wear and my fashion conscious 14 year old pointed out all my other handbags are winter colors.  Claire also really does not like that I usually carry such big bags.  She is pretty happy that my current Coach is small.  The problem with this, is that my current Coach Purse can hold exactly one pickle.  If I need to carry a jar, like most of the time, Blue Betty (yes I name my handbags) does not do the trick.  Claire thinks the bigger back I carry, the more junk I carry.  That is probably true, but for me it is all about pickle capacity.  This was my choice:

This is the bag we compromised on.  One jar capacity with little extra room for junk.  After our big debate and our compromise I didn't buy it.  Why, you may ask since it was perfect?  I am cheap.  So many pickles could be bought with $350.  So instead I went down to Williams and Sonoma and bought McClure's instead.  (Yeah for this, our Williams and Sonoma NEVER has them on the shelves!)  I will find a bag at Target with a one jar capacity that costs less than $30.

Any purse suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
