I Like It- It's the Perfect One

Oh - I Like It

It's Perfect, I Think

I am always looking for the perfect one.  I've been looking for the perfect one for twenty years.  Sounds familiar for a lot of things, doesn't it?

I ponder and ask myself, over and over, is it going to work? - always buy it telling myself, yes!   Now this ONE really is perfect - it will be great - look, it has a pocket for my cell phone - a zipper for my lipstick , mints, and gum - and, oh look, even a place for my sunglasses, and plenty of room for my regular stuff - plus that item I need to stick in every now and then.  It's perfect.  It's stylish and expensive looking, right!  Oh, I love it.  I'm going to get it.  Don't you think I should buy it?

I'm referring to the perfect PURSE / HANDBAG!
Seriously, I have been looking for the perfect handbag for twenty years! I always think I've found it every time I buy a handbag. Now, handbags are not cheap, I don't buy inexpensive handbags, so it is critical the bag is perfect!  It is an investment, and I can't keep investing over and over in the same thing. Too bad you can't trade in a handbag after you've carried it a while and it's no longer perfect.  I'd like to trade in my previously owned handbag, please - sort of like a previously owned car. 

Yeah, yeah, I can sell it in a garage sale or on ebay, but that's not the same.   That takes a lot of time.  Taking pictures, posting it on ebay, sitting up an account, deciding how much to ask, figuring out how to ship it and how much to charge for the shipping, then there's pay pal.  That is just way too much for me to mess with.  I'm talking about a trade in - a place to go trade in one handbag for a newer better model.  Hmmmmm, maybe I could lease a handbag.  Oh, I need to look into that!  Kidding!

Well, no, that's not me.  I'm too attached to my handbags to lease.  I don't think I would be able to turn her back in after I've had her for a while.  I mean, I really loved her.  I remember when I bought her.  I thought she was the prettiest thing in the world.  I have to keep her.  I just can't sell her or get rid of her.  I'm attached to her.  So, in the top of the closet she sits - very proudly too!

You might not attach to your things, but I do. Whether she is perfect or not - I loved her when I bought her and I still love her - but she just needs to scoot over and share me with others. Others need to ride my back, sit on my shoulder and / or hang on my arm.   

So, I'll just keep searching for the perfect one.  In the meantime, the one I have now is perfect - until I run across one which speaks to me and convinces me she is even more perfect.

She's perfect, for now!
