What's In My Purse

Blog Challenge  Day Nine: What's In My Purse

I'm amused. Mostly because even I don't know what the entire contents of my purse are.

Outside pocket:
Three different workout plans scribbled out on scratch paper
Coupon for Bath n Body
Driving directions to doctor
Meeting log
Oh, and a random penny

(That was sadly boring)

Inside:
(No less than) five pens ... All of which I have torn my desk apart to find at some point
Two bottles of hand sanitizer (no ickies, please)
Nose spray
Two tubes of smell good lotion (there's a shocker)
Two small mirrors (???)
Overstuffed wallet with broken snap
Checkbook register
One packet antibiotic ointment
One packet towelette
Comb (what? ... A comb? ... How'd that get in there?)
Giant wad of keys WITH Lego ninja turtle keychain (thank you Erin)
Trusty and ever present church key (barkeeper bottle capper) Never took it out from the old days
And apparently one love note cleverly snuck in there by Auntie
Various "girl" products (that are NEVER there when I need them)
Oh, and a random nickel


Other Outside Pockets:
Vaporizer
Two lighters
Headphones
Other random penny
Six lip balms (it's pathological)
Three lip glosses
One lipstick (for emergency use)
Three hair ties and three hair clips (for unruly humid white girl Afro days)
Tweezers (always handy)

Hmmmmmm
Well

That's it. Pathetically UNspectacular.

But this silly little exercise has reinforced that as women get older our bags get exponentially larger ... To carry more randomness that we are completely lost without when we don't have it immediately available and don't think about when we do.
