NO - She did NOT

Yes, I did.
My name is Macey, and I'm an addict. It's been 5 days since my last confession, or am I mixing up my stuff here? I think that's a Catholic thing, NOT an AA thing. Whatever. I'm feeling guilty, is the point here.

It's been 5 days since I last fell off the wagon. Remember that I'm addicted to purses? I think I've blogged about it...here, here, and even here.

Whoa. Didn't realize how much I've blogged about it. That may be a sign.

See this?

 

These are my bags. Just some of them, really. I have given tons of them away and took some to the Salvation Army or Goodwill. These are the bags that I've narrowed it down to. As in, the bags I'm for sure gonna keep. (this may change tomorrow, you never know with me) You can't see it very well, but there are actually 3 rows there, stacked on top of each other. I usually buy inexpensive bags, $30 or under, because, well, I'm cheap, and because I have so many of them, I can't justify really high prices. Well, okay, if I'm honest, I could justify it I'm sure...

Anyway. So I've sort of put a moratorium on buying bags because, like everyone else, we've been slammed with the poor economy, and I just got 2 new awesome bags for Mother's Day!
I wanna show you something though, in the name of healing and honesty...

The MOTHER of all bags...

Oh how soft it is...fake leather (cause I care about cows ya know) made to feel real. It's roomy. It's a little showy, sturdy, will hold a few paperbacks, necessities for the kids, iPod, huge wallet, camera, etc. The color is called "cloud." How dreamy...
Here's the inside...

Zebra print, satiny sorta lining...extra pockets...I.must.stop.
See, it's more than a bag...it's kinda like me in a way. It's nice and sort of plain looking upon first glance. But inside? It's a party!
And in the interest of full disclosure, if you must know...I didn't pay for it. Not really. No, I didn't steal it...! I had a gift certificate and I used it all! And the bag was on sale and it still cost the entire gift card! Well, except for a penny. And in case you're wondering, the bag, before the sale price was priced below 100 dollars, so we're not talking FANCY TOP OF THE LINE here. But, it's more than I've ever paid for a bag...I promise I won't do it again. At least not right now. Er...at least not in the next couple months. I guess.
Ya know what? Talking about this has made me feel better. I think I've really healed some. Oh my gosh! I had an epiphany! Just now!
I'll tell ya, Dr. Phil, I know why I buy purses!! It's cause no matter how fat you get, PURSES ALWAYS FIT!!! It's a "fat" thing. It all goes back to the "fat." Sheesh!

No matter how fat you get, purses and shoes will always fit!!

It's my new motto...oy, the shoes! That's a whole OTHER post.

(this one's for you, mama-face!)
