You see, I lovvveee it, but because it was so expensive ($1040 to be exact), I find myself making tons of excuses not to carrying anywhere. Plus, when I do carry it, I'm paranoid about not getting it dirty, rubbing it up against anything, not setting it on the floor; you know, all the stuff I do will all my other purses. It's not even fun to carry it because of that!! As we speak, it's sitting in my closet carefully placed in it's dustbag. I realized it right after I bought it, but couldn't return it (even tho it was unused) because LV Boutiques have a crazy strict return policy. Lesson learned!<BR/><BR/>Second thing I regret buying is a brand new car. Mind you, it's now 5 years old. But I could have paid much less for a car that was 1-2 yrs old and could have let the first owner get stuck with the depreciation!!!Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242089361142959939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535141909888580823.post-5829501680485551542008-05-23T12:33:00.000-05:002008-05-23T12:33:00.000-05:00My laptop.

They are utterly incompetent and rude, the wait to speak to someone is FOREVER, and they are always trying to push me into buying stuff I don't need at inflated prices. The laptop constantly has a slew problems (the power jack breaks every few months, the computer overheats, etc.) due to design problems very common to the model. Oh yeah, I also purchased the laptop model whose battery was known for literally bursting into flames and exploding, which I discovered later on the internet--but it took me forever to get the replacement battery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535141909888580823.post-50390303977940728832008-05-23T06:41:00.000-05:002008-05-23T06:41:00.000-05:00My regret?

Retail CAbi in sizes too small because then I was just a mere whisp of a thing, too thin, just wasting away. Then, getting diagnosed with manic depressive illness, gaining weight and not being able to wear any of those VERY expensive clothes. So, I've given some away (the ones that were tailored and thus not the size they started) and the others I sold on e-bay. I'm feeling much better now for having rid my closet of those painful reminders of when I was SKINNY and CRAZY.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535141909888580823.post-771671339350539822008-05-23T00:45:00.000-05:002008-05-23T00:45:00.000-05:00I deeply regret buying a house on a busy street. ...I deeply regret buying a house on a busy street. But this confession would just become depressing and whiny and obnoxious, and no one wants that. So I will say instead that I deeply regret the fact that my gall bladder went crazy and refused to participate in my body anymore, thus necessitating surgery, pancreatic enzymes (every 4 hours) and having to buy new clothes from the weight loss (the only part I don't regret). So I guess I am regretting buying the bigger clothes from before, and not drinking more margaritas while I could. <BR/><BR/>So there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535141909888580823.post-54016919775610302842008-05-22T19:11:00.000-05:002008-05-22T19:11:00.000-05:00A year after buying my Toyota Sequoia, I am weepin...A year after buying my Toyota Sequoia, I am weeping openly every time I fill up the tank. I do have 4 kids and two large dogs, so I need a vehicle that size, but DAMN YOU OIL COMPANIES!!! <BR/><BR/>My mission this weekend is to find a little trailer for my bike so that I can go on weekend shopping trips without having to use my truck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
