(inspired by Kristi from Live And Love Out Loud)
5 pens: a Sharpie, a scrapbook pen (not sure why, don’t ask), a black Bic, a blue Bic and blue pin advertising a heating and cooling company.
I like to write and hate not having my own pin. I’m a control freak, it’s true!
BeautiControl Lip Apeel: Which I never use. I roll around with cracked lips and freaking Lip Apeel and lip balm in my purse. I don’t think about myself, that’s what that says. I can remember to put two meds on my daughters boo boo’s twice a day, never let my baby have diaper rash, but never put balm on my own lips.
Coupon: $5.00 off Similac baby! Thrifty!
Business Cards, my own and a lady who walked up at Jose Pepper’s because she heard us say Girl Scouts: This says I’m prepared and I’m nice when someone rudely interrupts my dinner and meeting planning session. My margarita does not signify I’m not on business…HELLO!
Lab Result card from my OBGYN: So you now know I get my annual check up done and get to call in for results.
Hopefully that says I am totally responsible and is not just TMI.
My coin purse: If you couldn’t see it well in the pic, it’s super cute. I got it at a boutique in Parkville ages ago and it’s a hand painted fashionista chick. She’s all cutesy and glittery. I love it because it is adorable and always has quarters.
That says I like stuffed animal claw machines and air hockey. You may not have got that from it, but trust me.
LifeQuest church card: also from the lady who walked up at Jose Pepper’s. Girl Scouts means ‘I will pimp your not for profit event!’ didn’t you know that?
My cute Nail kit case and the contents of which were all over the purse instead of in the case: This says I’m messy but take care of my nails.
Pillbox: It matches my nail kit and contains Benedryl and a Valium. Um yeah…….
Random key: *shrug* I really have no clue where it came from or what it goes to. Now you have a secret window into my air-headedness.
Black flower hair clip: My favorite accessory! I LOVE flower hair clips!!! Maybe that says I’m not quite grown-up yet or that I am comfortable not to care if I am almost 30 wearing a flower in my hair.
I prefer the latter.
The usual suspects that are missing…..cellphone and massive key chain with keys. Those get used at home so the were MIA in the pic.
Emarrasingly enough, I once got arrested for failing to pay a speeding ticket that I'd forgotten about. My purse always becomes stuffed full of interesting things over time–mostly paper, such as things that need to be paid, notes, etc. When the cop emptied my purse out on the counter, she cried out “My god, your purse is a mess!” I was thinking “yeah, and you wouldn't have had to deal with it if our fine state didn't have you arresting hardened criminals like me who have failed to pay traffic tickets.”
Fortunately things have changed since then. Now they just issue a hefty fine.
That is quite a purseful.
I love that you have a key and you don't know what it belongs to! That's the key to possibilities!
I'm impressed…
Hurray for the Sharpie! I love them! I think I have every color & size available.
great to learn more about you through the contents of your purse
I love your writing style, and think we would get along very well particularly considering the valium, the coffee, the funky purse, and the hair accessories 
I have burgundy curly hair and a nosering 
OH ladies! If only you knew! This was a 'light' day for my purse, with 3 kids I usually have snacks, a diaper, random toys, discarded kids costume jewelry, 50 more receipts and my knitting needles and yarn in there.
I have been known to pull buttons (not from any clothing or coat I have ever seen), kid's socks and undies (still not sure who put the undies in there), a remote (….) and last week I found an entire collection of pebbles (no kid will own up to it).
@ Miel Abeille – I seriously have tried it in everything! I'm convinced that it will magically open up something wonderful and must try it everywhere!
@ Chic Homeschool Mama – I totally have a huge drawer full of Sharpies. Every.color.ever.made.
@ Jenna – thanks so very much! and yes we would get along great then! I have Sharon Osbourne red hair (yes that is how I describe it to my colorist) and right now I am growing it out so it's at the Marilyn Monroe curl stage. I used to have a nose ring (among 10 other piercings and several tats) but my grandmother used my emergency c-section as a chance to toss it while I was in the operating room. It was the only piercing that ever hurt so I am working my courage back up!
