Hubby doesn&#8217;t worship at the altar of pizza like I do, so I suggest we go to the mall and eat at the food court where he can have his burger and fries and I&#8217;ll get my pizza fix. Naturally my eyes are bigger than my stomach so I order two slices and can barely finish one. Friendly pizza guy wraps up my second slice and refills my drink. Hubby and I wander the mall, me with my hands full, when suddenly I realize my purse <em>isn&#8217;t<\/em> one of the things I&#8217;m carrying. Uh oh!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I left my purse at the food court!&#8221; Hubby takes off at a jog and I waddle behind. When I reach the food court, he&#8217;s nowhere to be found. Neither is my purse. I grab the clean-up guy and ask if he saw my purse hanging from the chair. He doesn&#8217;t understand me and tries to give me a high chair. &#8220;No, my purse. It was on that chair!&#8221; He shakes his head sadly. I think he&#8217;s sad that there&#8217;s a crazy lady standing in front of him who can&#8217;t figure out how to use a high chair.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"2d2eo-0-0\" data-reactid=\".1rq.1.0.1.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$2d2eo.0:$2d2eo-0-0\"><span data-reactid=\".1rq.1.0.1.0.0.$editor0.0.0.$2d2eo.0:$2d2eo-0-0.0\"> I ask friendly pizza guy if there&#8217;s a lost and found and he gives me directions to the security office. I rush over there only to be told that no one has turned in a purse. Already my mind is spinning with all the things I&#8217;ll have to replace and oddly enough I&#8217;m congratulating myself on having accidentally left my phone home. At least those rotten purse thieves won&#8217;t get my new Note 4!<\/p>\n<p>I stand by the empty table and chair, feeling desolate. Then I spot hubby walking toward me with a smile on his face, and he doesn&#8217;t look any less manly carrying my paisley Vera Bradley purse. <a href=\"http:\/\/bleser.com\/linda\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/purse.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-30 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/bleser.com\/linda\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/purse-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"purse\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bleser.com\/linda\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/purse-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bleser.com\/linda\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/purse-500x281.jpg 500w, https:\/\/bleser.com\/linda\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/purse.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Heroes come in all shapes and sizes.
