Guest Posts & Tote Bags

So, tomorrow night I finally take leave from Pennsylvania and all it's many summer smells and travel to the much needed oasis provided by the OBX beaches. I still have 17,000 things to do before we go and I haven't put together the guest posts that folks have kindly sent in yet... That means, if you have been tempted to send one but felt weird or shy --do it! Take this last post as a sign :) SEND ME your rant.

This year, I decided to treat myself to a new beach bag (any excuse for a new bag right?) I get many emails alerting me to online stores run by fellow bloggers, fellow conservatives or just entrepreneurs offering killer deals. So I went through my "stack of stuff" and found one such site: Simply Bags. I ordered this huge Damask bag with my name (I wanted Blonde Sagacity but it was too many letters) on a Friday and it came that Monday or Tuesday...QUICK! So I started thinking about all you guys out there scrambling for gifts that look like you put a little thought into them (I also get tons of emails about that believe it or not). What a perfect gift. Completely reasonably priced, personalized so she knows you didn't grab it off the shelf of the Halmark store 3 minutes before she came home and practical. Imagine all her girlfriends commenting on her cute bag and her saying YOU got it for her. Major points. The only problem you might have is that there are so so many great bags to choose from... And thanks to Bob at the site, I got to check "new beach bag" off that list of 17,000 things that need to get done before tomorrow night!
