I'm trying to find a new gym bag. You know, one that will actually hold everything I need so I don't accidently leave my running shoes by the door when I leave. But man is it frustrating.
I want something that's stylish and has good pockets and is waterproof and is a good color and is the right size and it'd be just peachy if it's under $50 since that's the amount of Christmas money (yes, I nerdily save my Christmas money for things like this …) I've got left.
Anyhow, I checked a few of the big boxes yeterday. The new Galyans by us had the best selection, but nothing that really suited me. And I also checked the huge selections at Amazon and Ebags. But nothing there worked either.
Now I'm looking at Nike. Their websites scare me. Everyone on their is strangely intense. Like little children will be murdered if they don't run the mile in 4 minutes. They've also gone all “stylish” with they're stuff. But it ain't my style. It's just … weird. No no, Nike. I don't want a gym bag that looks like a bowling bag. I don't want a gym bag that's a rolling suitcase (what the heck??). I don't want one that's all squarish. I don't want one that's black!! Well I guess black's OK, but not if it has your stupid huge logo all over it!!
Adidas.com … useless! Reebok.com …. What the heck is that Kylie Minogue look alike doing on their front page? Kylie Minogue or not … doesn't even sell bags online!
I've just had a brainstorm. My mom sent me a Title 9 Catalog. I should check their website. They've got six bags. None of which I'd be embarassed to carry, in fact, some of them are quite cute. OOh! I really like that one. Not to big, not too small. And it comes in black AND purple. A bit expensive, but not in comparison to the other's I've seen ($90 to advertise for Nike. I think not!). Have I found it??? Yep. That's it.
Lovely!
