surprise mail from friends + little things that made me smile

OMG LOOK WHAT WAS IN MY MAILBOX TODAY!

Surprise in the mail from my BFF Amy! #librarian #littlepeople #toys


My BFF [livejournal.com profile] heiland_coo sent this to me, totally brightened up my Monday (though it is pretty damn bright here in Maryland today, 88 degrees and SUNNY!)

Also, I went to the store after work to pick up some charcoal so I could grill tonight and when I was checking out, the clerk told me that they all loved my R2-D2 purse and it comes up all the time in conversation. I'm a celebrity in Pasadena LOL!

I need to write that gag review for ThinkGeek, telling them how *dangerous* this purse is because people yell at you from across the store to tell you how awesome it is. LOL.

EDIT: Here is the purse



Don't worry, my Mom did not pay that much for it! I sent her the link when it was on sale and hinted that I thought it was awesome and wish I had one. :)

Glad people love your purse. I've got a minion case on my phone and people stop me to talk about it all the time. I've had many a "but you're an adult!?" from children.

That librarian toy is adorable.

That librarian doll made me smile, too and it's cool your purse is so popular.

That purse is super cute! No wonder it's getting so many kudos.

Man it was hotter there than it was here, that's so sad. I've been looking at that R2 purse, it's adorable!

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
It is adorable AND it's like a TARDIS on the inside, I swear! You can fit a decent amount of stuff. I have my phone, glasses, ipod, gum, wallet etc. and still there is plenty of room to shove a whole DVD in there (I know this because I took a DVD to my parents yesterday)

Get it on sale though, I can't justify spending $60 on a purse! I bet they have a sale on May 4th

Cute doll!

LOL that's cool that your purse is such a conversation starter.

Awww, so cute! :D

Which R2 purse is it? Is it the bowling bag looking one?

Thanks for adding the photo. It's awesome! I totally understand why they remember you for it at the store!

So cute! :D

That purse is the absolute best! You have a great mom, and friend. I love Think Geek....OMG I just checked, and they have a Boba Fett purse! I can't thank you enough for the heads up :-)

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
oh man, I wish I had taken photos at the Star Wars meeting two weeks ago, we were at the Boba Fett collector's house, SO MUCH FETT.

Though he did not have the purse. ;-)

[identity profile] dancingdragon3.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, but did he have armor???

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
He did not have any armor, he's more into the collectibles. Though I'm always surprised by how few Mandalorians I see in the 501st.

The R2-D2 bag needs to be part of my life! It's not like I want it... I need it!

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL oh my gosh, makes me think of that scene in Aqua Teen Hunger Force with Meatwad, he's all "wanting is childish, I NEED it, like an adult" or something (I'm paraphrasing)

Also, I love your CraigyFerg icon! I miss that show. Used to watch it all the time. Fun fact: I have a Wavy the Alligator puppet that I use for storytime so Wavy lives on!

[identity profile] erychan86.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL.

Oh Craig... I miss him so much... He has a show on History now called Join or Die... It's just 30 minutes long but it's better than nothing... OMG Wavy... That show was so awesome!!! One of my fav opening was In the Navy ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KlJ2Uyu4U0 ) It kills me every time! xD It's a good thing you have Wavy and not Sid The Cussin' Bunny telling stories xD

I really want a BB-8 wallet that looks just like that basically (but with a BB-8 pattern)!

[identity profile] ragnarok-08.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
So cute!!

I have purse envy! It's adorable (and looks functional, too)!

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what I like, form and function. :)

[identity profile] chelseagirl.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 08:46 am (UTC)(link)
Adorable purse!

[identity profile] kseenaa.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 11:24 am (UTC)(link)
That's a cute little figure! :-D Nice gift!

A friend of mine, who I wrote my national masters with got this one: http://mcphee.com/laf/. Because why not? *lol*

Also, that bag is KICKASS! :-D

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
The Nancy Pearl figure! I have her too! She has "shushing" action. LOL.

Very cute purse! I love ThinkGeek but stopped buying from them - their international shipping is just too much!

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It's made by Loungefly and they appear to have their own online store, not sure if the shipping is any less. Too bad there isn't a geeky store overseas that stocks the same things as ThinkGeek!

[identity profile] eowyn.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a few! ThinkGeek is generally a better one-stop shop though!

OH. I almost got my BFF that purse in Orlando but didn't think she'd actually use it (a backpack yes, purse unlikely).

I LOVE FRIENDS MAIL :D

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I have this purse and the Ewok purse from Her Universe, which has a longer strap. That's going to be my "walking" purse because it's hands-free. R2's little handle means I have to hold on to him.

[identity profile] denorios.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That bag, OMG, I need it.

[identity profile] snogged.livejournal.com 2016-04-19 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That purse is amazing!

The librarian doll is so cute.

Oh my goodness, that Little People thing is SO cute!!

I am not into Star Wars but that purse is amazing. I admired it in the snap that you sent the other day.

[identity profile] twissie.livejournal.com 2016-04-21 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
That's such a cute figurine! And the purse!!!! :D yesssss to geeky fashion. I love it!

HAHHA YES! It is my purse! OMG THAT IS THE HER UNIVERSE STORE!!!!!! I can tell because I have looked at those tops so many times online. :)

[identity profile] erychan86.livejournal.com 2016-04-23 03:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't remember the name of the store but I saw the bags from the outside and I grabbed my husband's arm and I forced him in to take pictures of me and the bags LOL... He knows he doesn't have to ask questions anymore xD

[identity profile] orangerful.livejournal.com 2016-04-23 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well that just warms my little geeky heart on so many levels. :D Thanks for including me on your adventures! <3

That is one epic purse!
