My Boyfriend and the “Tattooed” Bags
I went on a weekend getaway with Mr. Boyfriend last weekend.
However,
Before we left, he insisted on putting all our stuff together in his enormous bag *sigh*. What is it with men and their fascination of gym bags? Mr. B said it’s a ‘travel bag’, but I insisted that it was indeed just a bigger version of that thing he brings to the gym everyday.
“It’s a traveling bag, baby”
“I still think it looks like a gym bag. Whatever happens to traveling with style?”
“This IS stylish!”
“It’s not. It doesn’t match my new Capri pants.”
“See, honey, that’s why I’m the one carrying it. You just go ahead with your tattooed bags”
“Tattooed? They are handpainted luxurious leather bags!”
“Well they look like tattoo to me.”
I marched down my side of the walk-in closet and pulled out my work bag.
“Baby, this is a PAINTING. A work of art on a leather bag. Not a tattoo”
“Okay.”
My man knew I would defend my bags. As he continued packing our stuff into the now overstuffed large gym bag, I ran my fingers on the delicate leather. Tattoo or painting, I love it.
“Phew. Anything you want to add before I try to zip this bag up?” he asked me.
I remembered something, ran out of the room and quickly grabbed something from the top armoire in the study.
“Put this there.”
“Oh babe…”
“So they’ll know this gym bag belongs to the both of us.”
“It’s a traveling bag”
“Whatever.”
And he attached this on the zipper.
Oh and um… the weekend was excellent!

OMG, your posts are so much fun to read. I could totally see the whole thing happening. You illustrated it so well. What a crack up! I love these bags too! And yes they are works of art. I know the time that the artist must have put into these and so I appreciate the hard work.
Beautiful!! Boyfriends will never understand, but thats ok. I think they are here on this earth to entertain us. I loved that story. Thanks for sharing. And BTW I found you on Twitter, or should I say you found me?I will be following you too, for I find that you are very interesting and I might just get some inspiration off some of your favorite bags:) I can use to get inspiration every now and then.
