my red bag

This weekend I came home (of course to visit family and friends) but also to grab a couple of things. I only have limited space in my red bag because I have to take the commuter rail and walk a bit but I'm excited about all the things i'm bringing back! Here is a short list: 


Mom's homemade beef and carrots soup that she put in two plastic pint sized containers, secured in plastic bags from the grocery store


My old paints/brushes from studio - they're 5 years old now! 


A box of light shade Prismacolor markers 


My bamboo ink pen 


A box of frosted mini wheats - which I normally would never buy but because my dad bought like 5 of them on sale somewhere 


Dove body wash because I ran out, and we have a stock of them at home .. again probably my dad bought a whole bunch last year. 


Lucky money leftover from the new year - delivered from my mom, from three grandmas: my very own mama, and two others who I forgot what their names were. My mom picked up one of the red envelopes and said that this one grandma always gives $2 to my sister and I every year. I said,  "Mom! you opened my red pocket and counted how much money was there?!"  And then she said, "Just put them away upstairs in your piggy bank and in a couple of years I will find them and keep them". 


And the best for last.. a wicked awesome 100% silk shirt that I found in my grandma's closet .. which I wore today. I wanted to wash it before wearing because it had that moth ball - chinese cabinet smell to it, but then I red the tag and it said: 'Made In Hong Kong. Dry Clean Only'. But I have neither the time or money to bring this one shirt to dry clean! So I just wore it.. mothball and chinese cabinet and all. Who cares! I can't believe it even fits!
