My brows are in a tragic state right now. And my bras aren't that great either.

I am Jesse. Except without flowers.
I seriously have a note on my perpetual to-do list (sort of the intermediate-term to-do list, unlike the short-term, which has things like "PAY INSURANCE BILL," or the long-term, which has things like "New car???") that says "You need bras -- GET THEM."
Apparently the to-do list holds very little sway over me. (Although I did pay my insurance bill.)
t edit I also really REALLY need a new everyday purse, because my current one makes me look like a hobo. I'm just really picky about size/number of compartments, and then when you throw in color and material, it's fucking hard to find anything acceptable. So I continue to rock the hobo look.
I have a newish pleather Target purse, which I like fine, but is mostly too big. I can't get away from the notion that I need to be able to carry a book around, even though I hardly ever do anymore! And this isn't big enough for files, which I carry around even less frequently. In short: fine, but too big!

My current purse (and previous one, I think) is a pleather Target one. But the current crop apparently doesn't meet my exacting standards. I am sometimes a pain in my own ass.
Perkins recommended a great leather Wilson's small leather backpack that's just big enough to hold my tablet, my Nook, my phone, my iPod, etc, without looking crazy teched out. In the trial and error of looking for the perfect black leather backpack I ended up with a much bigger one which is big enough for at least a sketchbook, maybe even Macbook in a sleeve, and apparently is fetch enough that one of the portacath doctors (male) wanted to know what brand it was. Huh? Overstock.com, dude. I have no other details.
I could be wearing a better bra today. I couldn't find my best-fitting under-white bra, and I thought I'd be wearing the white turtleneck, but it's much too transparent (crazy--who can wear that?), and I didn't bother change into the good black bra before I put on the midnight blue shirt.
Well, my frenemy lunch date will just have to be disappointed.
Hey, Perkins, Ginger, will I ever carry a bag on my portacath shoulder again? And do they always put them on the right? The surgeon never considered my left side, and I'd much have preferred it there, usage wise.
But purses are important! they're with you pretty much all the time, and you carry IMPORTANT things in them! (like books; and makeup; and, oh yeah ... money!)

This sounds a lot like my to-do lists: "Pay bills" "Call Doctor" "Tattoo?" "Christmas travel?"
My purse right now is year-round (even though I do switch it out in the summer for a straw one), Target pleather, sort of a mustardy color which goes with everything. It's just big enough for a book as well as makeup stuff, wallet, phone, cigarettes, a small notebook, with room to spare. And yet ... I want a new one. What shoes are some to people, purses are to me.

There might be some kind of vein differential there. Like when you're pregnant you're only supposed to lie on one side (I can't remember which one now) because if you lie on the other you compress some vein or something.
I have a nice, classic Coach bag. It's black leather and I got it off Etsy for less than $40.
