Big News. Huge.

I met with Jess about an hour ago. It was absolutely great. We didn't get to chat for a long time, but it was terrific to see her and get a little NH loving after two weeks of being away. Then I rented Pride and Prejudice from Magdalen Library (they have a HUGE movie collection. Score). And then I walked home. And this is where it gets good. As I was walking down the street, observing people as they walked by, I realized what has been missing for the past two weeks. A sight that I encounter probably hundreds of times a day at home; the absence of which has no doubt made my life better. Ready for it? I have not seen a single Vera Bradley or Vinyard Vines bag anywhere. Not one. Dear OWU/American woman, you actually can survive without one. Who knew?
