If the inside of a woman’s purse is the window to her soul, then I am very much screwed.

It dawned on me the other day as I reached down into my once beautiful Marc by Marc Jacobs bag, that my purse has now become a laboratory for filth… an endless abyss of coins (not the kind that help at a meter), leaky pens, tampons (that scream toxic shock), and crumbs from snacks that look like they’ve gone through the food processor…. I’m scared to reach inside. I’m scared of my own purse.
I don’t quite know how I have become LITERALLY a crazy bag lady…. But I have. Want a broken bangle? I’m your gal! Need seventeen health insurance cards… from 2004? Hello! Looking for a lip gloss that you’d have to smash open to get the last drop of color from? Look no further!
Friends, my purse is a danger zone. Stick your hand inside and it’s MANICURE SUICIDE.
But what can I do? The state of my purse is a direct reflection of my life and right now I’m on over drive and in auto pilot… I’ve got A LOT on my plate… A lot of messy, scattered, and unorganized things going on……
Fortunately, it’s the little things in life right now like Baby-Ko’s obsession with Lady Gaga (aka Goo-Goo Ga-Ga) that helps the state of affairs feel a little less frantic. That is… when I don’t have a headache from listening to it on a loop. Of course, I shouldn’t complain. My purse IS chock full of ibuprofen packets should I need some….

    Mine is horrible too!!

    If you need to know what I've bought three months ago you can probably find the evidence in there.

    I've lost things in my bag. Someone will ask me to put something in there while we're out and when she asks for it back my bag has digested it!

    Marc bag? MY dream bag!

    Thank you for being brave and coming forth confessing to your membership to the "The Pursezilla Club"! Oh and the video of your child singing Paparazzi. Priceless!

    Dirty purses and cars are a sign of intelligence.
