This is RIDICULOUS! I have turned into the kind of woman I always
used to make fun of when I was a kid. Why the HECK do I NEED to carry
all of this???
Here's a list of what's in there (in case you can't tell in the picture) - from left to right:
- Receipts from a trip to take Chelsea to vet a month ago
- An unwrapped cough drop (with the wrapper near by)
- My Toys R Us rewards card
- Sunglasses
- Glasses case for my regular glass
- Two spoons (one wrapped in a napkin because I had used to eat yogurt)
- Two wetnaps from Dreamland BBQ
- Business cards from people I have met recently
- Hairspray
- A pen
- 3 tubes of Chapstick
- 1 tube of lipstick
- 2 tubes of lip gloss (the same exact kind)
- 2 packs of gum
- 1 container of breath mints
- A pack of my own business cards (in a very fancy rubber band)
- Hand lotion
- Allergy medicine
- A badge from a convention I went to last month
- My keys
- A key to the station vehicle (that I didn't realize I had for the past few days...whoops!)
- My wallet
- My makeup case (which is packed with other stuff I probably don't need!)
Fear drives the reason I carry a lot of this stuff - "just in case". Just in case I ever find myself with 3 friends simultaneously needing lip moisturization. Just in case, I am ever in dire need of several forms of breath freshening. Just in case I find myself in need of a spoon for an emergency bowl of cereal (I AM pregnant, so I need to eat more often). Just in case someone has an allergy attack and can't possibly get to a pharmacy.
One of my quirks is that I am constantly afraid that I won't have "enough" - or that I'll get caught somewhere without something I need. I am working on that...but my purse certainly doesn't reflect that.
The other reason is because I shove it in there and forget. Dreamland Wetnaps? Name tag? Receipts? Good grief....I guess I need to work on that too!
Am I the only one that does this? What does YOUR purse look like??
