the clutter that is my bag

rummaging through the cabinet for an alternate bag last night, i suddenly realized that all my bags were big. no, not big... huge. there they were in an assortment of colors, huge bags that can accommodate a week's supply of clothes.

now why do i carry a bag that could dislocate my shoulders?

i emptied its contents, staring in amusement. i had a purse for id cards, credit cards, membership cards, insurance cards, sss & bir cards, discount cards... another purse for paper bills, a coin purse, several pens, pencils, note pad, keys, handkerchief, folding fan, purchase receipts, several letter envelopes with papers inside, a comb, a bottle of cologne, a digital camera, a small plastic box with rosary, a cutter, a small golden buddha, toothpaste and toothbrush, a cellphone, a snake... (kidding).

i have small bags (all of which were gifts) but never get to use them for the only thing i can put in it is my purse. and i can't leave home with just my purse. my husband jokingly remarked that it just might be the bag causing my back and shoulder pains. i go to work with that bulky thing and a heavy portfolio with office stuff to complement it. i just love giving myself a hard time.

on second thought, if i can find myself a bigger bag i could probably bring my granddaughter to the office with me everyday.
