Proof That I Have a Pen Habit

Purse Crisis

Equal to the calamity of the current NFL officials crisis is the ongoing Purse Crisis of 2012. The following list shows why it is near impossible to find the perfect purse, as these are our only options:

• Option 1: Really awesome purses that cost anywhere from $200 to $600 and up. Way way up. Even if you can do that, do you want to do that?
• Option 2: Cheap purses. These are, well, cheap.
• Option 3: Affordable handmade purses. Etsy is lousy with these. Sometimes they are great, but they run the risk of looking handmade.
• Option 4: Vintage. Vintage can be affordable! It can also smell like a used purse. Vintage isn't always practical for the everyday purse, as ladies of the past did not have key fobs, cell phones, etc.

What's a girl to do? Will I ever remain happy with a purse purchase? Will Green Bay not get into the playoffs because of the replacement refs?
