He tried to help, but I'm so picky: "No, that one doesn't have an inside pocket. No, that one has an inside pocket but it doesn't zip." It took forever but I finally found one.

Funny! <br /><br />All this angst is why I will, if elected president, institute an immediate 30-day trial period on handbags. I'd call it The New Purse Purchase Act because you just can't know, after 20 minutes in the purse department, if it'll pass the test in the grocery store.<br /><br />I fully expect a landslide election. :)Rhonda Schrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512423397478708632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-70430882574709016632012-03-16T23:38:30.165-04:002012-03-16T23:38:30.165-04:00What a fun purse.

Nah, a month later, I was shaking my head, wondering what I'd been thinking. And then one day I saw this pink Kathy purse on sale! I climbed over this little old lady to get it. Just in case she had the same idea. Now 2 years later, the thought pops up every so often that maybe I should buy a new purse. I mean, you have to change once in awhile, right? <br /><br />Nah. I love my bright pink leather Kathy purse. Even when I wear my purple 3/4 length jacket. I feel so kewl with it hanging off my elbow. <br /><br />Great post!Joylene Nowell Butlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04497637513532136615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-63045148539761261182012-03-16T16:11:17.504-04:002012-03-16T16:11:17.504-04:00Oh, I fully understand your dilemma, Rhonda!

I bought it because it was big enough to hold my laptop, but finding anything else in there is pretty much impossible. :)Sarah Forgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09101753891967001104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-68701401418878629522012-03-16T13:41:13.105-04:002012-03-16T13:41:13.105-04:00Tyrean,

Somehow my bigger one comes in handy, even though my kids are grown, I am the go-to person for tissues, bandaids, pens, and of course, Chapstick. Thanks for the award! :)<br /><br />Laura,<br />It does, and I am thinking we need to buy more than one when we find it!<br /><br />Rachna,<br />I'm glad - not that I want you to have purse challenges of course. But it is nice to know others can relate! <br /><br />Nancy,<br />My current purse has some little slots for pens, so that's really handy. I may sew them into the next one if they don't come with some. Perhaps otherwise we should invent a purse GPS that locates items for us?<br /><br />Happy weekend,<br />KarenKaren Langehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177923284595298347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-7904793495187649742012-03-16T13:19:43.737-04:002012-03-16T13:19:43.737-04:00I know where my Chap Stick is but what I can never...I know where my Chap Stick is but what I can never find are pens. They drop to the bottom of my purse and hide. New purses won't help.<br /><br />I have been on the perfect purse hunt. Last year I searched for the perfect straw bag.

It worked, but it is wearing out so now I have to start the search again this year.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163662759281341381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-47057149813310678342012-03-16T12:15:08.659-04:002012-03-16T12:15:08.659-04:00I can completely relate to this purse quest.

One is a tiny one that is for going places like grocery stores and other errands, another resembles a huge carryall with pockets that I can carry books and notebooks, plus chapstick and all that other stuff in too. Then sometimes I just take my wallet and zip it in my coat pocket. I don't think there's a perfect purse for all occassions.<br /><br />BTW - Karen, I have an award for you at my blog today.<br />http://tyreanswritingspot.blogspot.com/2012/03/lucky-meme-award-and-my-toughest-beta.htmlTyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-48552092703916828052012-03-16T09:36:11.146-04:002012-03-16T09:36:11.146-04:00Becky,

Nice to have someone around who understands. :)<br /><br />Laura,<br />Now see, you are a smart lady! Chapstick in the pocket may just be the answer. As long as it doesn't get left there through the laundry cycle as my husband's has sometimes.
