  • Lost Track of Which Number - #5?




    Due to a lack of inspiration and the
    fact I've virtually been no where in the past few months, I'm stealing
    this idea from several other blogs I have read in the last week, or so!


    Thirteen Things
    In My Purse


    1.  My beige, full size wallet which is stuffed with membership and credit cards, a pen, coins, and (currently) LOTS of checks and cash needing to be deposited.  It barely snaps closed.

    2.  Burgundy checkbook (with a low balance because my cash and checks need to be deposited!).

    3.  Regular glasses in a dark rose colored case.

    4.  Sunglasses in a navy blue case.

    5.  Kleenex - Two and a half small packages leftover from when my "illness" first started last July with a runny nose.  I normally only carry one package.

    6.  A trimline 99 cent calculator.

    7.  3oz refillable bottle of hand sanitizer.

    8.  2oz bottle of hand lotion - currently, Lavender & Mimosa from Bath & BodyWorks.

    9.  1.5oz bottle of Bath & BodyWorks Sweet Pea Room Spray (public restrooms can be "bad" sometimes!!!)

    10.  Travel-size pack of diaper wipes.

    11.  HERE'S THE BIGGIE!!!!  A clear 4" x 7" make-up bag holding: a Cover Girl powder compact with mirror; a tube of Lip Smackers;  tweezers; children's nail clippers; breath mints; Tums for my dh; small vial of "milk pills" (I'm lactose intolerant); small RX bottle containing aspirin, naproxen sodium, ibuprofen, and a few of each prescription pill I need for various emergency ailments (yes, I know . . .  theoretically, you aren't supposed to mix pills); asthma inhaler; 6 alcohol swipes for immediate bug bite relief; and a small tube of Aveeno Anti-Itch Cream. 

    You ask: How do all of these things fit in a 4" x 7" bag?  Like a jigsaw puzzle!

    12.  Two handfuls of a variety of candy thrown in the bottom of my purse to bribe my children.  It's also used to convince them a caramel is enough food to stave off hunger until we can get to a place to eat.

    13.  A 12" flexible ruler we call, "The Switch" . . . in case the candy doesn't work.

  • I had to laugh at the last two!
    Am so glad you are feeling better each day.
    Blessings,

  •   Sounds like a great assortment.  I had to laugh at number 9 - so true... I've never thought of carrying something to improve the smell of public restrooms!~  lol.  12 & 13 were pretty funny too.  I think you must be feeling a bit better... the humor is coming back.  lol.  ;) 

  • Sounds like you are prepared for any circumstance that might come up.  When I posted what is in my purse, two people told me my purse was pathetic.  LOL!  Thank you for your sweet comment on my post.  Just a reminder, when you get ready to visit whispering pines let me know (ahead of time if possible).  I would love to try to come up to OK and be there that day if possible so that I can meet you in person.  Take care.

  • You are the queen of organization!
