Gwenyth Paltrow and Purses

I did yoga this morning, first thing. It's really different, before breakfast, next to the window while the fog is just beginning to break. It was wonderful. Aaaand Shiva Rea can do things with her body no one should ever ever be able to do (such as a full lotus while holding up the hips in a shoulderstand posture)!

Matt and I saw Gwenyth Paltrow in Union Square in the city today. We thought it was strange until we realized Coldplay was playing tonight. She looked soft, together and beautiful. And I was so busy going through a, "Huh, that woman looks a lot like Gwenyth Paltrow! Wait a...no.. Wait.. no no.. Wait, yes!" that I didn't think to look in the stroller she was pushing. We always see celebrities together (by always, I mean two confirmed, a few maybes) -- our first was Jameel White (Steve Urkel) at the Adidas store on 3rd St in Santa Monica. We're totally not celebrity obsessed, don't follow up on that stuff or anything, but whenever we see people we think we recognize it throws us off balance.

I've having a really tough time finding a purse for Italy. As Matt says, I am not a purse person. I can't find any I like, so I think expensive ones are what I want since I won't have to worry about them because of their, you know, cultural significance, as in money can't be wrong! But when I get up to the point of actually slapping the money down on the counter I get antsy and can't follow through. Which I am thankful for, that good sense, but dammit it certainly doesn't help me find a purse!!
