I am always careful about where I set them down when I take them out. For example, yesterday my hubby and I went out to an early dinner at The Cheesecake Factory. I noticed a few crumbs on the booth seat and so there I was, bent over with my rear end up in the air in front of all those hungry diners, wiping down that bench and mumbling horrible words about the bus person who should have cleaned it prior to my sitting there. Hubby and hostess just standing there, mouths agape, waiting for me to finish (kind of funny!). I was not so much concerned about messing up my fabulous Paper Denim jeans, mind you. I was terrified about sitting my beloved B-bag on potentially greasy crumbs! I always do this! Even if it looks clean. Then, I request a separate cloth napkin to sit my bag on right next to me. After dinner we went to a movie. Needless to say, I did NOT get popcorn. Just the thought of buttery popcorn near my bag made my heart race.
When I get my bags home, I inspect them for scratches and then put it away in it's sleeper. I have a cat who thinks my B-bag MUST have come from Pet Smart because it has tassles and in his little mind, ANYTHING with tassles has HIS name writting all over it. I have to be extra careful with that one!
