This handbag doesn't feel as big as it looks. It also looks less reddish in-person and matches the buttons on the coat perfectly. It's unlined, which I've chosen to overlook. And the flap I thought would be so great wants to curl up a bit. Lining would have resolved that, I believe. I really like the color, though, and got it for a great price so it works for me.
Now...
G Money & I met my cousin & her family at a restaurant. They have one kid, a toddler and a newborn. The bill came and I didn't want to split it in half. The waitress said she could do an estimate, but couldn't split the check via computer. Every freaking restaurant needs POSTitouch. No, I don't work for them. Just know they have systems capable of easily splitting checks. Anyway, it was $190 and I paid $90. I think ours was $80-$85 w/the tip. I ended up feeling bad because I should have just split the thing in half. After all, I rarely see them and it's the 1st time I've been out w/her & the kids. Obviously the newborn didn't eat anything. *lol* But we didn't drink and they drank, including my cousin's 2 glasses of wine for $17. I don't recall what we did when we've gone out before as it was usually just us 4 or a place where they had counter service. In the future I can ask for separate checks to begin with and suffer thru the threats about how our food might come our separately. Whatev. So there's the check issue. Then the second part of this is G Money remarked that my cousin seems to put her husband down all the time. I guess it comes across that he can do nothing right. I haven't seen her in ages and really focused on her and the kids, but I could understand G Money's observation. My cousin did mention that there is a power struggle, which I can relate to. We've acknowledged our power struggle issues in our house, but this is the 1st year we've been able to transcend them without having a major discussion to get there. We're on year 5 and they're on year 4. I told her to hang in there. They had 2 kids within a couple years, so I'm sure there is some adjustment, to say the least.
So...what do you do in a restaurant? Are you known for busting out the calculator and adding up food to the penny? Or do you just split it in half. I'm talking about dinners with family & very close friends, and not asking if you think I was right or wrong w/my choice. And then...how about dining with couples that have tension. If it's a family member or very close friend, would you let her know that she's emasculating her husband? ETA -- here's a bit more info...my cousin & I are as close as sisters. Her husband has specifically pointed out to my cousin how I treat my husband and asked why she can't treat him in the same, favorable way. And she always discusses her relationship in great detail with me. I'm currently deciding whether to broach the topic while it's fresh or wait until she brings up their relationship again. We fell out & didn't talk for 1.5 years because I didn't tell her some things I had on my mind. My position was to just keep my thought to myself whereas she is one to just throw it up and out there off the top of her head. I know what I'm going to do about the situation w/her. My question is how do you deal with a similar situation in your life.
