This has been my everyday purse for the past year. My birthday is in December. Every year one of my sons gives me a gift card to Vera Bradley. I LOVE the bright patterns and the quilted look of her things. I don't really like leather bags. I prefer something I can machine wash if I need to. I also have a much larger bag that holds folders and other things I need for when I sub in high schools.
I really like my tiny purse because I can remove the longer strap, attach the wrist one, and pop it into my bigger bag when I sub. That way I don't have to remember where I put two things when I'm moving from one classroom to another during the school day. I chose the dark blue color because I liked the style of purse it was, and the other color was black. Navy goes with everything.
I'm not a very feminine female. I don't own any makeup. I don't wear nylons--ever. I rarely wear dresses. And I don't own any heels. I have gold earrings because I'm too lazy to change them, so I leave them in all of the time. For years I had fanny packs, until they went out of style. I actually saw some fanny packs in the Vera Bradley store last year! The sales girl said they're becoming trendy again. But I'm happy with my tiny purse--it holds what I need.
Despite its small size, my purse holds my IDs, my car and medical insurance cards, my credit cards, and a plastic holder with a picture of each of my two grandsons. It also has band-aids and safety pins, since you never know when you'll need one. It holds Tums, in case my stomach acts up. And it holds a few bills and some change. I also carry some of my author-business cards, and some of them have a button attached that says, "Reading is sexy." I put my phone into the outside front pocket. I put my keys in my jeans pocket and I'm good to go!
Who is Fiona McGier? I sub in high schools during the school year. Otherwise, I'm writing and blogging about my books--and reading. Not only do I write erotic romance, I love to read it too. I often read while camping with my long-time HEA. Our four adult kids sometimes join us. Shinrin-yoku is forest bathing in Japanese, and as long as there's no snow on the ground, that's what I'll be doing--as often as possible.
I also enjoy sewing--mostly masks these days-- crocheting afghans to keep my loved ones warm, and baking--cookies, muffins, and especially pies. I'm known for my never-fail pie crust, so I put the recipe on my website under the pies tab, along with some of my family's favorites, that I featured in one of my books that had a heroine who baked lots of pies.
Answer these questions:
Red, White or Blue?
Navy, so I guess blue.
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter? Summer--when camping is the
best!
Chocolate pudding, cake, pie? Pie. I make a great chocolate pudding pie!
Coffee, Tea, Champagne? Ooh, tough one. Coffee in the am,
Champagne after 5.
Country music or Michael Buble? Neither. Heavy metal--or blues.
