My Pink Purse

Notorious for losing things... (things, not kids!), especially at critical moments, I opted for a BRIGHT pink purse this spring. My tan purse that I've used for over a year now was often found hiding even in the most obvious places. I really liked that tan purse... lots of pockets & zippered areas made an interesting filing component for my couponing habit. The new pink purse has cute side pockets for my virtual cell phone & matching sunglasses, convient for crayons & chapstick instead. A big middle pocket just lets me "dump & cram" & by using the same wallet from 2 purses ago I have a little bit of vintage "old faithful" with me. I'm not one for pink, especially bright pink, but now I can spot that purse from across the house. As often as my husband hangs it up on my office (read: cute nitch under the stairs with a door on it) door, I leave it laying somewhere... usually thrown about casually as I run in from one errand or another, picking up or dropping off kids, choir practice, church, you name it. One sweeping glance, or a quick gallop around the first floor & TA DA! There it is. You would think I would learn, you would think I would be able to find a safe place for my purse & put it there consistently, you think I would be smart enough to want to save myself the headache & hassle & just be a bit more organized, but... there are small miracles performed still today... someone had the insight to make a pink purse!
