The Bag Lady

 
Ok, this is a what works for me post....I am a bag lady.  Not the kind who lives on the streets, but one who definitely lives out of a bag.  Case in point, these are my two "work" bags.  One I carry to work everyday with my mail to read, umbrella, sometimes lunch (encased in it's own "lunch" bag), etc.  The other is a bag I use while at work for when I have appointments, etc. 
 
I also have my library book bags at home.  By the way, I frequent 3 different libraries.  I have my church bag and my children's church bag.  I have started to combine these two.  We also use to have a 4H bag, we have a piano bag, and the list goes on and on.  If I did not have my bag system, I would be A Mess!!
 
I must admit, I am a complete and total lover of all things totes.  I have so many, I would probably have heart failure if I tried to count up the number I own.  I practically become giddy when I go to a conference and a free tote bag is included!!  I was also very disappointed when my youngest daughter said she could just use her school bag from last year....really?? 
 
I do feel like this system works for me, and I am an easy person to buy for because of this little obsession of mine.  However, my shoulder would probably like a break, and I also still carry a purse....that obsession would be a complete other post.
 
And that dear friends, is something that works for me!!

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

Winter Items I Can't Live Without

  If you have read my blog, like ever, you know winter and I have kind of a tolerate, bordering on really dislike, each other kind of relationship.  If I could have snow without ice and in 50 degree weather, life would be fine for those 4-5 months.  I don't really dislike snow.  But I can't handle being cold.  At All!!   Ok, Rant over, for today, maybe, until it is brought up again....   What can I not live without?   A Warm Coat...my favorite coat is my black puffer coat.  It was super cheap from Sam's eleven (yes, eleven) years ago.  It is the warmest coat ever and luckily has never went out of style.  The zipper is being a little iffy this year and I just might cry if I talk about it too long.  This coat washes and drys so well and does not look like it has been a winter staple for eleven years.  I also have a North Face that I love but if it is below 20, the black coat wins hands down, every time. ...

Friday's Fav Five

Today I am joining it with a new link up for me.  It is hosted by  Living to Tell the Story .   My Friday Fav Five list goes something like this... 1. My three older girls were still up watching television together when I went to bed last night.  My room is right next to the living room so I could hear their conversations.  Although I wasn't ease dropping, I did start to listen.  They were talking about casual and personal things.  I realized that they are all growing up and their conversations with each other are growing as well.  It was like listening to a group of 3 women talking over coffee.  My heart wanted to burst and I may have teared up or actually cried..... maybe. I am so thankful for this wonderful bond they will have with each other for the rest of their lives. 2.  I am just thankful it is Friday.... we have had snow and strep throat at our house this week.  I am ready to shut the books on this we...
