Caught!

The other day Marty and I were in Target. On our way to the checkout counter, I was side-tracked by a tote bag. I admit, I have a thing for tote bags, and this one was cute. Real cute. My infatuation with it was short lived, however, because I don't pay that much for a tote bag. So I walked away.
A couple days later Marty said to me, "I looked in the office closet today..."
Right then I knew I was caught. That's where I keep my purses, totes, and other random bags that I'm not currently using. He'd found my stash! (And I thought I'd hidden it so well behind my fabric and card-making stashes--Argh!)
"...You've got like a hundred bags in there! And you were eying a new one at the store!?"
"It's not 100. Maybe 20. Or so. And I've used them all."
"But how can you possibly need another?"

He just doesn't understand. But if I go back to Target and find that bag on clearance, I'm getting it in a heartbeat.

Happy Birthday! Maybe a new tote is just what you need for your birthday - maybe. Love you, Mom

LOL! I am the same way with bags...I don't know why! I have what seems like a billion, but if there is a cute one (especially for the girls) it is SOOO hard to say no!

Try to find excuses to give away some of your old ones, or "accidentally" drop some in a river or something. Then you'll HAVE to go back and get that cutie from Target.

You are cute! And funny! I really can't relate--except for gray and black and white things. I just love those colors!

I totally agree...I have lots of bags too. You never know when you may need this or that kind of bag depending on the outing:)
Ryan has way more t shirts than any one man needs. His shirts date back to high school.
