What's in your (new) wallet?

I got a new wallet last week. Normally, that's akin to the classic lame-o post about having "a cheese sandwich for lunch," or "you wouldn't believe what my cat did today." But I had my previous wallet for 15 years. Yeah, that's a long time to keep a folding strip of leather close to your butt. But it served me well through college, and launching into the professional world, and getting married, becoming a daddy, taking long road trips where it was smooshed into the seat, etc. etc. etc. Good times.

But the good times had taken their toll. Even after several cleanups using black shoe polish, the thing was looking ratty. So I replaced it with a brown one, same brand and hope it will last even half as long. Maybe another stumbling block was the fact that I've always had a hangup about spending money on a wallet ... which is for holding your money. Wouldn't that mean you have less need for a wallet if you spend money on one? I exasperate myself sometimes, people.

Yeah, it's the same reason our garbage cans are about to fall apart. Kind of like it would be "throwing money away" to spend money on something we're just gonna pile stinky garbage inside, drag to the curb and then have the sanitation engineers let roll down the hill. I'm not really that stingy, just overly practical to the point of it not always being fun.

But on that note, me and the fam had a blast at Turner Falls near Davis, Okla., and then I was semi-disappointed at the classic boat show back home. But with a new wallet, there's always a bright side ... even if there's no cabbage lining its insides.

fascinating.

We must all give up the leather one of these days.

That sounds exactly as profound as it is.

At risk of sounding like a Seinfeld rerun, I gotta say, "What's the deal with men and their wallets?". Hub is sooooo resistant to getting a new wallet, even if the one he has is falling apart at the seams and won't even do its job of holding money. And I know that he's not alone -- every guy I've ever known is stubborn about wallet replacement.

I'm the same way about my purse (sorry, out East it's a 'pocketbook' something I'll never get used to). It's ratty and forever old but I'm used to it, and I know exactly HOW it holds things and things have their PLACE in it, so I can totally relate.

And I also agree that I hate spending money on such things. A trash can is supposed to be trashy, right? Just like washing my car, it's just going to get dirty again, isn't it?!

Glad you were able to deal with the change without the need of therapy!

I think you should win an award for 'most mentions of cheese sandwiches' in blog posts. :)

Glad you guys had a great time.

Mmm. Storage room discovery. Nearly everyone I know has given me a purse or fanny pack. I always hear: You should carry a wallet, you wouldn't be looking for your ID all the time.

So, there they are. In another city. Safely stored. Empty, of course.
