    OMG, not Charlene too?! I had such hopes for her. What, they’re not ranting about the purses being black?? Slaves to fashion, nothing, they’re slaves to the retailers whims.

     

    And, by the way, the store is expecting the whole population of a tri-state area to come in and buy a simple new black purse? No shoes? No flashy dazzely funky clothes that they’ll never wear? No hats? What is the world coming to?

     

    Yup, here we are, 3:00 a.m. You know, Cathy seems twice as nutty when it’s way too early in the morning.

    I’m not a huge shopper, too many more important things to do.

    Good morning legaleagle, frightenup, GSmom, Aaron and the rest.

    Reorganizing Cathy’s whole life starts with a simple new black purse? Okay. The male brain is just not made to understand certain female brain things. Trouble is, Charlene was Cathy’s last hope at sanity. Sad to see her corrupted. Sigh

     

    Morning Susan (maybe already here?) when you arrive. Morning frightenup LOL still loving the Halloween name. I’m thinking I can do better than last year’s ScarinAaron. Hi fellow Cathyites when you come ’round.

    Where do women get the idea that making a new purchase is going to help get them organized??

    They are going to be there all day…too many purses to choose from. I bet they can’t buy just one purse and get out of the store. Hello to all of our fellow Cathy nuts.

    I’m not a big shopper either. I just shop when I need something, and it’s usually a quick trip and a variation on what I already have. My husband makes fun of me because he bought me a fancy purse about 12 years ago, and I’ve used it twice.Good morning, Veridian, legaleagle, Billy, Shyygirl, Aaron, Susan, Wolf Emperor and mollie!@Billy – Why were you up so early/late? worried about Aaron? :-( @Aaron – I like ScarinAaron!!Hello to the rest of the clan….

    Hmmm. I wonder if I should get a new purse. The one I have [and only one] is still perfectly good, but it seems that if a person doesn’t have several purses, pairs of shoes etc. they must not be keeping up to speed. Call me a slowpoke.

    I don’t really get how the “simple” black purse can jump start the organizing. Myself? I’m into buying pretty baskets, boxes, and containers to get inspired. But as a mentor reminds me, “You just can’t organize junk! You’ve got to throw it out!” Still hard for me sometimes.Hello to *veridian, legaleagle, dr. billy, shygirl, Aaron, Susan, Wolf Emperor, mollie, frightenup, ncalifgirl, serenaskitty, and the rest of the Cathy Clan yet to come!

    I hate to be the one to point this out to you, Cathy and Charlene, but . . . each of you is already carrying a black purse . . .

    Do you intend to put the new, wrapped version inside the old to transport it home?

    Cathy and Charlene just need to take their existing black purses home, dump them out, vacuum out the crumbs and start over.

    Anona Mouse gets the prize for best comment of the day and sharpest eyes! legaleagle48 is also right on with “women collect.” That’s why the disorganization grows worse as the “collection” grows bigger!

    You can have color you want as long as it’s black (which, in this case, is not a Ford. I prefer black for my Jettas.)

     

    frightenup Yeah, worried about my Aaron. Is there a better reason to be awake 2 1/2 to 3 hours early? Even LMB cuddled closer when he knew I was awake. :-)

    I bet LMB is happiest when all his family are safe at home. My boys are the same – they know when their “Dad” should be back, and they go and sit by the door until he arrives!

    Hi Cathyites!! Hmmm might be ok if the new black purse is smaller than the old black purse — if you look back at yesterday’s strip, it seems to have shrunk already.

    “Small” and “Simple” must be relative terms here. Just sayin’.
