There is no place to put it there, the floors are WAY too gross. And even then he says let me hold this while you go, before I can even ask him to hold it! Maybe he is so good about it because I never ask any other time! Who knows!
Yeah, I don't mind. My wife saw the look and had to take this picture. She was laughing while taking it. :)
Yes, you'll see what the men say when they get here and see my face. :)
Yes, there's even a little teddy bear on the top. She digs deep when she goes in that bag. :) Yes, there was food for my trouble. Good to see you.
Yeah, I'm smiling because she is straight laughing while she takes the picture. :)
Great shot.

I don't mind the shopping. I just don't like to shop too long and I'm not crazy about holding my wife's purse. :)
I am. My wife is taking the picture and laughing at the same time. Thanks. :)
Why? You think that purse is my color too? :)
Gooders-
I know. I'm a sucka for her love.
I understand. Well, you can say that the purse is my color. That's what everyone else is saying. :)
