Mortimer's Mom

alternatives

Swe were going to do dinner and a movie, but true to form, Mortimersdad got a case of *traveler's sickness*, which basically amounts to a combo of dehydration, exhaustion and headache. He is sleeping it off and I'm waiting for my alternative diiner: take out pizza aned wine from the bar while I wait. I did score an alternative to the imaginary perfecgt bag at a different Macy's juswt before they closed It's not perfect, but just like my takeFolut, it will do.

Not supporting the Chicago economy

Though not for lack of trying!

the mythical, hypothetical, perfect bag that I imagined in my head, it doesn't exist. I know. Because I dragged Mortimer's Dad into every department store and handbag store on the Magnificant Mile. Every one of them. I cam close at Coach. One was perfect (simple, cut ecolors, nice strap) but too small for what I want to put in it. And the other was perfect size wize, if a little flashy, but with a price of almost 800$, I just couldn't do it. I am not a 800$ handbag person. At least not yet.

So while Mortimer's Dad scored a stylish zippered sweater at Bloomingdales, some cool dog gifts including goggles for dogs (I am so not kidding) and cute gifts for the girls, my haul is a disposable razor and People magazine.....

tomorrow, we tour fancy houses build by famous architects. No bag will be found, but who knows, I jut may feel the need to put a downpayment on a Chicago Pied-a-Terre....

Think many celebs drfob in when they are in town?
