Just the other day I was out shopping, I used my debit card at one store and returned it to my purse. Thirty minutes later, I was at the next store buying some more cute clothes when at the register, I was unable to locate my debit card. I checked with my gift cards, in my open wallet, my smaller change purse, the pockets, the clumps of receipts... my card was no where to be found!!! I pulled out the credit card that I could find, paid for my items and went to my car to tear apart my disaster bag and successfully found the card I thought my bag had eaten.
So as I sit here and procrastinate my day away, I weighed my purse. It weighs 5.7 lbs!!!! A sack of flour or potatoes weigh 5 lbs, a half gallon of milk only weighs 4, new born babies could weigh 5.7lbs, but we are talking about my purse!!! Something I primarily use to carry keys, a phone and a wallet (which I really only need a card or two). I asked myself how on earth did I go from the girl who carried the mini bag, to a mid sized, and now a bigger bag carrier? I know plenty of women who carry bigger bags, and in addition to my handbag, I do carry a work bag, for things like my umbrella, school books, lunch extra pens etc. But the amount of time I carry that is minimal. What could be in a 5.7lb bag? How important are these items? Do I really need them all?
