So, I have been thinking about this for a while. I have never really liked carrying a purse around, in fact, I don't like it at all. I try to avoid it at all costs, but sometimes stuffing my pockets isn't really that practical, or comfortable for that matter. Therefore, because I carry a purse I have become the family pack-horse. Whenever we go out the door, I'm just expected to carry EVERYTHING that we need to take with us... GPS, snacks, water bottles, addresses, medicine, documents, keys, camera, extra gloves. Now, I never liked purses in the first place, but this makes it worse. A place where I really hate taking my purse, is grocery shopping. I can't just leave my purse in the cart to get stolen as I am running down the aisle to get something that I forgot. The most annoying part is that it keeps sliding down my shoulder as I am trying to open the ridiculous produce bags that never open, or as I'm reaching for something on the top or bottom shelves, or as I'm examining a piece of meat! On top of purses being annoying to carry around, they also get SO messy, or at least mine does. Receipts and lip gloss EVERYWHERE! Is there a good way to organize a purse? I don't think so.
Despite all these reasons, I still carry a purse. And I won't deny that I LOVE the way they look, especially cute ones. Purses are an oxy moron. They are convenient, yet very inconvenient. I think I've ranted about this long enough, so I'm done now.
