Love my bag

By Cathy the Librarian from West Henrietta, NY on 1/17/2010

 

4out of 5

Pros: Comfortable, Rugged

Cons: Uncomfortable Strap

Best Uses: Baby bag, Commuting

Describe Yourself: Office Professional

Primary use: Personal

I wish that the bags came standard with the compression straps and the strap pad. I had purchased a small bag in the past, which is fine without either, but I also can’t carry as much. This time I got the medium one and I think it could do with some cinching in when I don’t have tons and some padding for my shoulder when I do have tons. It seems that the bigger the bag I carry the more stuff I have.
Otherwise I love love love my bag. The colors are nice and vibrant and the quality is outstanding. I use it for an everyday bag and baby bag and I’m pretty hard on everything I have, so this is perfect for me. Yay for Timbuk2!

We managed to keep Leila alive four months! http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/archives/444 http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/archives/444#comments Thu, 10 Sep 2009 00:02:40 +0000 cathy http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/?p=444 Yesterday Leila turned four months.

At this point, she’s:

  1. smiling, giggling, squealing and looking adorable in general.
  2. rolling around on the floor and holding herself up on her arms.
  3. attempting to eat rice cereal. Unfortunately, the food doesn’t get into her mouth fast enough.
  4. “talking” in her adorable baby speak
  5. sleeping in her crib. This is a big one. She was finally too big to stay in her bassinet, so last night we moved her into her room. Our bedroom is ours again! … well except for the diapers, picture books, onesies, coloring books and crayons and dollies.

I’m sure that Jeff will have some other things that I’ve forgotten. He’s pretty good at telling me things that I’ve forgotten to say or do. :P

New car AT LAST! http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/archives/448 http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/archives/448#comments Fri, 04 Sep 2009 00:07:40 +0000 cathy http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/?p=448 I just got my new Subaru Outback and I LOVE IT! What a great car! It’s not as convenient as the Mazda with its sliding doors and three rows, but its definitely a nicer car. I love having a hill-holder clutch again and I’m sure the heated seats will be delightful in the winter. Right now, I’m mostly grateful that I can drive again. At first I was going to get a Subaru Legacy, which is a sedan. Nice, but not the station wagon/ hatchback that I really wanted. Jeff spoke to Carl, who is the most wonderful salesman EVER, and after some sleuthing he found out that an Outback was due to come in a couple of days before the Outback. ACES!!! You are awesome Carl (and Jeff) and my new Outback is even more awesome. I love driving again. Yippee!

My car is GONE. http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/archives/446 http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/archives/446#comments Thu, 13 Aug 2009 00:02:43 +0000 cathy http://www.cathythelibrarian.com/?p=446 Leila and I were driving to pick up Jack at daycare today and while we were going straight another car turned left into us. I tried swerving out of the way, but the right side of my car still hit pretty hard and my airbag went off.

We’re both okay, but my car isn’t. Jeff thinks that it might not be totaled, but it looks really awful to me. I guess time will tell. I don’t want to be without a car. Bleh.

Jeff has many of them on his camera
The baby puked on them

We’ll have camping pictures from fourth of July weekend… ah camping horrible and delightful. We’ll also have pictures today of Jack getting his first library card. Plus a lot of random photos that, as I said, are on Jeff’s camera.

Oh well. We’ll get them up someday.
