Or was it?
Yesterday as I was skulking about Borders, I began to wonder why my purse weighs fifteen pounds, so I decided to go excavating to find out just how many anvils were in there. Mind you, my purse isn't very big, so I was more than a little surprised to discover the following.:
A copy of The Secret Garden--because all the co-op moms are reading it to their kids
A pair of clean underwear. ???
Notes for a blog idea I got while driving
a four-foot ethernet cable, but of course
two wallets--one that I use, and the one I need to move everything into
two pill bottles (I'm crazy, remember?)
an undelivered greeting card, in pristine condition, though it's a moot point
the iPod with the pink arm band
a protein bar with a shopping list stuck to it
Wet Wipes--don't leave home without them
three pens
two kinds of lip balm
two more protein bars
my checkbook
an Always pad factory,
notes from a therapy appointment, stuck to one of the pads
my phone
and the requisite padlock hanging off my purse strap

the whole shebang (note padlock):
Sadly, I put it all right back in.

Whatever size purse we carry, we fill it right up to the top! I've recently cleaned mine out and am trying to keep it to a minimum. But then I'm always needing something I don't have. Ugh.
And V finished The Secret Garden! So, we no longer tote our copy around. :)
yeah, you've thinned yours out by way of passing that wallet onto *me* lol!
i'm not nearly as good a mother as you all, so i'll be hauling a veritable library for...ever.
No purse experience, but I have a full backpack that I carry around and a wallet chock full of everything except cash (I think they wrote a Seinfeld episode about my wallet).
Oh, we're still hauling books, don't get me wrong! Just not that particular one!
I was drooling over a new purse at Fred's today. I got away clean though. I didn't buy it! Aren't you proud?
:)
i spy a purple sharpie too! i know it wasn't in the purse, but you may want to add it to the jumble. why the padlock exactly? i'd say it looked very organized, considering ;)
The padlock is for locking the purse up at the gym ;) Thanks for the post workout protein bar, Chey!
Only you would have a purse full of stuff that is so nicely organized and pretty to look at. Someday I'll be as tidy as you. Someday.....
oh, sorry, mental chatter is The Bajpai
