I have an addiction, and as time goes on, it is becoming a serious addiction. Thankfully it's not drugs, and it's not alcohol. But, it could be as costly to the budget (although so far I've done well to not let that happen). But, never the less it is an addiction and it's time I admit it.

Hello, my name is Dena and I'm a purseaholic.
Yes friends, it's true. I love purses. It doesn't matter if they are big or small, al
though I don't like them too big, because honestly, I'm short and it throws off the whole balance thing. Those who know me, know I have issues with my balance and tripping as it is. I don't need more help. They will agree with me on that. I have had 3 of them send me this button. Need I say more?

I'm not real crazy about the giraffe print on purses this Fall, but maybe in time it will grow on me. But I do love the metallic look. Way cute! And much more practical than a cloth fabric on your purse. I remember the days of spit-up all over everything. Why do you think diaper bags aren't meant to be cloth? Because one little mess and it'll never look good again. Since I seem to attract messes (it probably has something to do with the whole clutzy, tripping & falling thing), I run the opposite direction when I see cloth on purses.
My addiction has gotten bad enough that even family members are noticing. Recently when I took my son to the mall, we walked right by an entire large display of purses. I slowed down and slid my hand across the front of each one as I ambled by. Austin grabbed my arm and said "Mom, seriously, just keep walking. Geez, we really need to get you a set of blinders".
I made the mistake of going online yesterday to a site full of purses. Purses in every size, shape, color, and design. I sat there with a smile on my face loving every moment of looking at all those beautiful purses. The only way it could have been any better was if there was a way for the site to have scratch-n-sniff, or even better yet scratch-n-feel capabilities. That would have been so awesome! I could picture myself with my cheek against the computer screen feeling the soft, cool leather on my skin.
I scrolled through page after page, wishing I had a money tree out on our deck, wh
en I saw it. An adorable bubble gum pink purse. I couldn't take my eyes off it. Now, I do like pink, but only in small doses. I don't like pink everywhere, so it looks like a Pepto-Bismol bottle exploded. I own a few pink clothing items, but they are the soft, baby girl kind of pink. This purse wouldn't go with a single thing I owned. I couldn't put my finger on it as to why I was so attracted to it. Then it hit me....it was Pink. Ok, I know you're thinking "Well duhhhh. Hello, Captain Obvious". But what I mean is what pink signifies to me, and that is ultra-femininity. I'm not an overly feminine lady. I prefer wearing darker colors like navy blue, plum or purple. My nailpolish and make-up is also darker or more neutral colors. Even my vehicle is black. I dress for comfort. I wear jeans daily and I love the feel of a good cotton shirt. This purse is the complete opposite of me. Think about this, who does this 
purse remind you of? Who could you see carrying a purse like this? Elle Woods from Legally Blonde of course! That girl had so much pink that I'm betting she had pink blood running through her veins. She was as feminine as you can get, and she is so dang cute, you could just squeeze her (Don't worry Reese, I'm not a stalker). I evidentally have a secret Elle Woods living inside me. No matter how much I subconciously try to supress her, my Elle is trying to come out. Fortunately, the purse I saw is well over $300 and even I am not that much of an addict to pay a ridiculous price like that, but I'm thinking a shopping trip to Target and the mall might be in order this weekend. Hey, if Elle is trying to get out and buy me a purse, who am I to argue?
