So Appropriate July 16, 2008

Prior to leaving for vacation, Casey and I headed to the bookstore to pick up some reading materials. While he was fretting over what smartypants book he was going to read, I decided to wander aimlessly through the store towards the magazine section. I passed by the display for the canvas totes and personal journals and something caught my eye. I own a basset hound and feel that it is the best breed out there…call me impartial. That being said, anything basset hound-esque appeals to me. There was a black canvas tote with a basset hound print on the front. I thought, “So cute.” Then I read the text directly under the picture and immediately took it to the checkout because I couldn’t leave the store without this bag in my possession.
“Well, Susan, this is a fine mess you are in.”

You have got to be kidding! It’s like someone somewhere just knew. I understand why you had to have it, of course it ties in well with your walking fiasco too.
Not only that, but it was the only one that they had. True destiny!
That’s awesome!
So, I was curious and had to research where your quote came from and found this website: http://www.mairakalman.com/elements.html. It’s actually a book on grammar (one of my favorite subjects as you know) but no explanation for why a Bassett Hound illustration.
Clearly, this was more appropriate than I thought.
