Not sure how much I'll make it on here this summer. I'll need pm's if anything exciting goes down (weddings between members, baby cowgirls, new coaches).

was just telling DH how I was considering getting a smallish purse from Kate Spade with my 5 year work reward. But there isn't one around here so I couldn't see stuff in person. I have a wallet he got me a couple years ago in Vegas that I love and use every day, but it's still a pricey thing to buy without seeing in person. Was reading the news today and boom, one is opening in town this weekend. I think he actually told me about it last fall and I had forgotten. So now maybe we need to go have a look-see this weekend.......

There is a Kate Spade outlet that opened in Omaha about a year ago. I keep going back and forth between there and Michael Kors to decide if I want a new bag, but I get anxious when it comes to making those decisions. I love the colorfulness and simplicity of Kate Spade though, you'll have to post what you get (assuming you go) :)

I won't get anything right now but I like to look. Their colors are so pretty - the one I like right now I guess is new and only in a few colors so I'll probably wait til more come out. I at least want to go and see if I like the size and wearability of what I think I like by looking online.

While on this topic of shopping, women of CF. Opinions needed on this watch or any other watches from this site.

I'm not a huge watch guy, but looking for one for a conference I have to go to in NYC.

Guys can chime in as well. Not looking to break the bank and don't know of many good watch places.

Can't decide if I want to troll the basketball section with stupid posts, slam the people trying to spin Hoiberg leaving as a good thing, or just ignore it all together. Everyone there is getting on my nerves but I may not have the chance to do something like this again for a very long time.

Won't those just blend in? :smile:

Can't find a thread to post this in. this title seemed appropriate. So, what do I do with my "in Fred we trust" t shirt?

Feel for you. I almost invested in a Hoiball t-shirt at Hilton Madness but was too cheap to get it. If I had, it would just be mocking me now.

Went for an early morning 15 mile ride. I tried to get a good picture for you guys of the lake and moon but the camera didn't want to cooperate. They post tiny on here anyway. Not much of a report for this ride. I saw/heard at least 30 rabbits. It's kinda scary hearing them run in the weeds and tall grass because I never knew if they'd cut out in front of me. About halfway through my ride I decided how terrifying it would be to go around a corner of the trail and see someone just standing there staring at me. Not sure why that thought came to me but it creeped me out.

I stopped trying to see how fast I could go down the hill path at Theodore Wirth Park because it is woods on one side of the path and I see deer there all of the time. Got thinking about what I would do if I was going over 20 mph and hit a deer. Ack. I bike slower down that hill now.

looks business-y. I don't like gold though so I'm biased.

Tell him it looks like a watch an old man like me would wear.

I actually like these more contemporary watches:

I'm not a fan of "shiny gold", and I'm not sure about the darker brown leather. But, on that particular brand, the lighter leather is too yellow.

Boil it down to...I particularly like the silver banded watch. But again, my personal opinion.
