the very, most special, perfect one

So, I am in the market for a new handbag. You really do not know what a tremendous task that is for me. I have a handbag obsession BUT I am not an impulse buyer when it comes to making the purchase of one. I will put down some pretty good money for the right handbag but it has to be the very, most special, perfect one.

My husband learned my handbag buying issues the hard way. Before we were married I told him I was going to go purse shopping and he said those regretful words "I will go with you." TWO days later I finally found the very, most special, perfect one. We hit almost every store in the metro area before I found it. Needless to say, he does not go purse shopping with me anymore. He did "give" me a handbag for Christmas last year but I went out on the scavenger hunt for the very, most special, perfect one, bought it and then he wrapped it up for me.

I typically do not carry a handbag longer than 3 months and that is really pushing it for me. I do hang onto quite a few of the prized ones and switch out from time to time. However, I have been looking for the past 3 months and just can't find that very, most special, perfect one. It seems that the older I get the harder it is. I am hoping that special one will jump out at me soon because it is defeating not being able to find it.

You are such the girly girl! :) Let's see, I do spend a pretty penny on mine as well. BUT, I carry mine for, are you sittin’ down, at least a year! I've even carried one for 3 years! Yes, I spend lots because they have to be durable. I am very hard on them. Gook luck to you, you’ll know when you find the "very, most special, perfect one" ; )
