Adult Problems...Girl Problems

Well, I'm probably going to develop back and shoulder problems from this summer. I have a fairly large purse, and I carry everything in it, to and from work every day. Intern handbook, notebook, kindle fire or novel, two wallets, keys, some makeup, a water bottle, and one or two containers of food, depending on what I'm bringing for lunch (and the smaller container always has an ice pack in it), in addition to all of the small things that roll around and end up living in the corners until I eventually clean out my bag and go "woah, I totally forgot about that! and when did I get seventeen ball point pens!?". I don't have many bags here at my apartment, and even with the ones that I have at home, the majority of my bags are of the tote variety, so they'll still be hanging off one shoulder, slowly dragging me down. I don't actually have enough stuff to carry around to justify putting it in my normal backpack that I use for school, either. All that's left is my black messenger bag that has "DURING A ZOMBIE ATTACK, PLEASE FOLLOW ME" printed on it, and as much as I like it, I don't really want to take it to work with me. I've been looking online, and I found the perfect bag. It's a good size, the straps are 'convertible' so I can carry it in a number of ways, it's waxed canvas so it's somewhat water resistant, it's a good color, everything about it is great. Except for the fact that it's $69. Even if I do order it within the special window with a code to get %15 off, it's still $17 for shipping. I did just get paid, but I already blew about $200 on clothes, and I don't want to add another $80 to that total. It's such a cute bag though...and it'll make it easier for me to carry all of my stuff without hurting myself. Maybe I'll just buy this one, and make sure to save more out of my next paycheck. I'll figure something out.

This is the purse I have now (although mine is brown).
This is the bag I desperately want.
