Bag Meme

Bag Meme � What�s in Your Bag Right Now? I'm not quite sure about how to 'tag' someone else, so if you want to be tagged, consider yourself as such:

Yes, my purse does weigh about 25 pounds. This line-up of goods makes me appear to be very lip-centric although oddly enough on most days I don�t put anything on my lips at all. I usually drink water throughout the day and I hate getting gunky lip goo or lipstick stains on my cups and water bottles so I usually just forego putting any product on. Why do I tote it all around then? Dunno. I also have another make-up bag at home stuffed to the gills with about 25 other tubes, sticks, tins, and pots of lip moisturizing products and there�s probably at least one tube of something in any purse that I�ve used over the last year. It�s not like I�m searching for the perfect product � they�re all pretty OK to me � I just have a compulsive need to keep buying them.

Things seem to be getting back to normal in the grieving process. I read that although you never completely stop feeling the loss of a person, eventually it will get to the point where it�s not the first thing you think about when you wake up or the last thing you think of when you go to bed, and I think that�s so true. I received two fabulously nice cards from Mare and BettyBigHead that each came at exactly the right time. I think that they were particularly poignant and meaningful because I know that both of these wonderful ladies have also experienced the loss of someone very close to them. Thanks also to Spike for the kind words about Ivy � he�s been through similar troubles with a difficult pet and he had to make the hardest decision a few years back for his pup, Shera. I can�t say it enough � the support of friends is what keeps the world spinning.
