My NEW Big Blue Bag
This is my first blue purse, but far from my first BIG purse. I usually go with black bags, or brown. Then again I have had red, rich green and transparent plastic leopard printed bags I have loved. All of these bags have been large, oversized infact. Why this museing on the bags that have gone before? Mi Mama recently commented on the pink and green canvas LL Bean tote I have been draging around since April. She pointed out that it a bit large. I looks at it, then at her and pointed out that my bags are always bigger than they need to be and that I like them that way. It was then I realized that my love for big bags is a defining characteristic. Now and again I have flirted with a little bag, but never found the satisfaction I was looking for. I love being able to purchase a book, sandwich, or bottle of water and be able to leave the plastic bag at the counter because it will fit in my handbag! I love almost always having a pen or whatever my fellow travelers might ask to borrow. Mint perhaps? Need a Post-it? A therapist my tell you it all links back to my desire to be needed, that being prepared to outfit world with gum and napkins is a typical behavior of overweight women who feel compelled to take care of others. Whatever! Like my bag because it allows me to be ready for anything. Besides it is a delightfully Smurfy blue!
All hail the big bag!

I love the new bag--and your ability to pull out a mint/post-it/pen whenever the occasion demands!!
