I know what you’re thinking.
Not really.
Stuffing my handbag with junk makes me a junkie,
Let’s just say I like to stock up on non-essentials items,
What’s in your handbag or man purse?
That's quite a collection you have there…
By any chance are you Mcgiver's sister?
Hi Lauren,
What's with the anonymous concrete comment-hahaha (get it?). I confess that I am a whoreder too, but my problem extends from my purse onto my automobile's floor. I think that's why my car drives me crazy! I really love reading your blog!
Hi Greg: LOL! Maybe she's a distant relative. I've since cleaned out my handbag after the contents spilled onto the floor at work with the Dental Goody bag fully exposed, now an indentured servant of the office.
Snee: The concrete spam was a victim of the delete wrecking ball. Damn spam. I confess. I didn't get the spam concrete reference. Maybe I haven't had enough caffeine yet to jump start my brain.
So, your car extracts the contents from your purse. Bad car. Cars should see a shrink. Thanks so much!!!
Sorry about the dry eyes. 😉
Purse:
– 3 sets of keys (house, car, neighbor's)
– sunglasses
– reading glasses (Sigh)
– 1 Kleenex, clean
– a healthy yet heavy wallet, filled with silver protein
– cellphone
– a couple of business cards
– one pen
– mirror
– lipstick
– chapstick
– no food
Reffie: LOL! Don't feel bad. I wear progressive contact lenses , which coincidentally mirrors my politics.
Wow, that's a lot of stuff. I so loved purses until the criminals took that love away. They started doing strong armed robberies, so I don't carry a purse anymore. Too bad too. Now I just carry pepper spray and my gun.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Sandee: That's really scary and is horrible. Though, pepper spray and a gun would be considerably lighter to carry around than a purse.
Whoreder! I love it!!
What's in my purse? Well, I'm too lazy to actually go look, but I can summarize. I use my purse as a laptop case, so usually there is a laptop in it (although right now it isn't there, you know because I'm reading your blog). But the silver sleeve is in there. Let's see jump drive with keys to the church attached to a ribbon from Chucky Cheese, assorted matchbox cars and trucks, wallet, mouse (usb computer mouse, not a real one… couldn't get him to stay in the zipper compartment), lipstick, sunglasses and probably some random receipts from Lord-Knows-Where (new town hot spot). 🙂
I'm right there with you Lauren! My bag is armed and ready for Let's Make a Deal.
Maybe we can go together…
(-:
I love it, Ivy! Especially "keys to the church attached to a ribbon from Chucky Cheese." LOL.
Mrs B, it's great to see you! Back for a visit with your imaginary friends? Definitely. I'm armed and ready.
I was laughing through this entire post,(I hope my mouth doesn't get stuck this way. Hmmm) but I especially love this,
"A Voice Recorder
(so I don't look crazy when talking to myself in the car)"
I used to use my son's plastic toy phone in the car, just to make him laugh, and to scare other drivers…
Excellent post~
Annie
A plastic toy phone is a great idea, but then other drivers will know that I AM crazy instead of just contemplating the possibility in blissful wonderment for a split second in their day.
Glad you enjoyed the post!!! Thanks!!!
I have been dying for some Mentos. I am in need of a Fresh Maker.
LOL, Julie. Do you mind smooshed Fresh Makers? That's usually what happens to consumables in my handbag.
I have the typical woman's products, gum at the bottom that fell out of the wrapper (yes, I have been known to scrape the junk off of it and CHEW it in a dire situation), I have a BAD ASS HUNTING KNIFE (I am only using that language because that is honestly what it is) that someone gave me (I will shoot my eye out) and the best thing… my favorite… a ripped up old sandwhich baggie with some special rocks from the beach house… I carry my summer everywhere!
Katherine: Hahaha! I love your summer goody bag. But I have to say that the hunting knife is scary and bulkier than a brush, which is a granola bar blocker. When I reach for a snack on the drive home from work, I get a fistful of bristles.
My purse is filled with grocery receipts, coupons, pens, tissues, and lipgloss. Yet, I can't find any of these things if/when I need them.
I've been thinking about getting a voice recorder as I seem to get lots of ideas when driving.
Tracie: LOL! I can't find anything either. Got to love the voice recorder. They're not too expensive. I think I paid around $30 for mine.
very good . I love it
