Can a girl have too many bags or flip flops?

Thursday, July 15, 2010

So we are in the middle of packing up the apartment, moving my stuff to our new house and from the bedroom I hear a "Oh Dear God" come from Mike, and might I add not in a good way ;). I walk in and say "Baby what's wrong?" and I see he has reached up to top of the closet and under the bed and has discovered my stash of bags and flip flops. He looks at me and says "Seriously?" and I am like "What??", and  he says "What in the world would you need all these things for?' and I said--well you get the picture! He is horrified by the number of shoes and bags I had, and I must add here, there is NOT that many!! I will say I LOVE flip flips and bags! Especially bags! All kinds- colorful, big, small, stripes, the free with purchase ones you get from buying Clinque make up (love those), and Jazzercise bags. There are cooler bags, make up bags, small purses for the small events, big for big events! There is the day trip bag, the overnight bag, the airplane carry on bag (which I bought the CUTEST stripe one for our trip that I explained just screamed VEGAS BABY when I was at the store.) There really is a bag for every occasion and situation. Personally, I have a bag for suncreen, beach toys, beach towels, food and just the extras to spend the day outside for the summer alone.  I explained to him that every bag has a purpose! He looked at me like I had just grown 3 heads! WHAT? Then I had to go on to explain the flip flips. Different colors, styles, fit, beach, dress up, outside work, jazzercise-again the list goes on! There is a flip flip for every occasion and situation just like the bags! I personally find this VERY logical and necessary and does not need an explantion nor justification, right ladies??  I will always be on the look out for the perfect bag or flip flop, because you never know WHAT situation you may find yourself in. See you at the alter baby! I'm just sayin....


ARE YOU KIDDING ME BERNAICHE??  (well in 1 day....)  Let's start with bags, shall we?  I have 1 bag that can serve many occasions and you have how many??  I'm going to guess 25 minimum.  Heck, it took it 2 car trips back and forth when we were moving to bring them all over.  So I pull the box down with at least 12 bags in it, and how many of them have I ever laid eyes on??  maybe 2 - SERIOUSLY??  Yes, the "Vegas Baby" bag was nice but I'm certain you had 8 others to do the job!  Maybe they screamed "Tulsa baby" or "Charlotte Baby" but they would have done the job and Vegas would have been none the wiser!  Baby, lets be honest... you have bags that their only purpose is to hold the other bags!!!
So now we move on to filp flops!  Mother of God this is a illness!  When I say she has a lot, I mean she can fill up 2 large totes!  I guess it would be ok if when you bought a pair of flip flops we tossed a couple away - but NOOOOOOOOO!  Here is a little story to back this point up...  So Casey has a favorite pair of black flip flop type things, not really sure what to call them but I do know this..... THEY HAD A BAD STINK!  So we search and buy a new pair to replace the old pair thinking that we could finally be rid of the stinky pair!  NOPE, they sat outside and I'm guessing that Casey had the hope that perhaps a few months of fresh air would cure the smell.  We finally threw them out,  MONTHS later.  Ladies, is it too much to ask that when we buy a bag or a pair of flip flops we get rid of the older ones??  See YOU at the alter baby!  I'm just saying....
