Purse

I'm not a big purse person. I've had my share of bags, but I prefer not to carry much with me unless I'm traveling. Still, I do carry a big bag with me, preferably one that fits my iPad. Inside my bag right now is my mail from yesterday, a wallet, a checkbook, a flip video camera, a MAC compact and lipstick, coupons, gum, keys and my iPad. Just looking back at that list makes my purse seem fuller than it actually is. My oldest daughter has always appreciate a cool bag more than me and has spent much of her hard earned allowance while growing up on bags. When Gwen Stefani"s LAMB line came out I thought this kid was going to learn how to apply for a loan at our bank. Her bag holds a list of items three times the size of mine. This will all change when a diaper bag comes into her life (which better not be for quite a while as she's getting set to graduate college.) My youngest girl prefers no purse at all, so whatever fits in her pocket is what she uses. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum. Funny, I can't use the term "like mother like daughter" on either of these.
