What to do…think ahead!
I have lots of things going on right now that are bringing my down…friends in the hospital, cold weather, and lots to get done. I’m doing everything I can to stay positive – working out daily and cooking for those who can’t right now (and sitting down with a beer and friends every now & then). January is always a tough month…but this one is really getting to me!
So, I have started thinking ahead…way ahead…to a cruise we will be taking this Summer! It is so nice to have something exciting to look forward to. I found this amazing company called Tom Bihn. They make all kinds of great bags. From travel to laptop bags they have it all. All of the bags were designed in Seattle by Tom Bihn himself…and he seems like a pretty cool dude. In fact, he is so cool that his dog is named Riley (you know, like my daughter). Riley accompanies him to the factory just about everyday. So I wanted to be cool like Tom Bihn and carry my very own Tom Bihn bag. The first giant dilemma is which bag to pick…they have a ton to choose from. Messenger bags, knitting bags, backpacks, briefcases and much more. I picked out the Medium Cafe Shoulder Bag. I picked this one for many reasons – but mainly because it is small enough to use for an everyday purse but will be very handy when travelling. Isn’t it cute?
My bag arrived yesterday and I love it! The fabric is super sturdy, there is a big pocket on the back, the colors look awesome, and the “Tom Bihn label” with the vintage airplane on it is great. The best part is the innards…after you open the secure buckle on the front your mouth will fall open with the features that you will find inside. A front zippered pocket that will make finding wallet, tickets, passport, etc. a snap. A key strap (that clips on & off) that holds onto your keys to make certain that they never sink to the bottom of the bag. And then you will see the organizing pockets…4 of them. Two for pens and two more for cell phones or ipods. I am in love with my Tom Bihn Cafe Bag 
I might even have a secret crush on Tom Bihn too (I’m a sucker for men with dogs). Go visit Tom and find the perfect bag for you…they are made in the USA, very low-priced, and have a slew of bags & color combos to pick from. Be cool like Tom!
