This line-up in the church basement before last Sunday's potluck caught my eye. We teach them young--the owner of the little red purse is 5 years old!My turn to "confess"--"What's in my purse?" Several pens, lip gloss, ibuprofen, bandaid, comb, cell phone (usually), kleenex, extra keys, pocket calendar (that's my "brain" or I wouldn't know where to be when!), church ladies' booklet, a CD (probably could replace that with a thumb drive, or just leave it out), checkbook, emery board, nail clipper/small tool set, mints or hard candy, dental floss, chapstick, billfold (coins, credit cards and cash, plus insurance cards, driver's license, and every store seems to want you to have a "discount card" or a "punch card"), mini-flashlight, misc. coupons, shopping list, . . and sometimes I squeeze in the camera!
I've always liked a purse with a long shoulder strap, and with lots of pockets and compartments, preferably zippered or snapped--so I can keep track of where everything is, supposedly! :-) I remember one white purse with an exceptionally long strap in 5th or 6th grade. Hmm... I probably I wasn't very tall at that age. Do you suppose that's why it was so long?
I feel lost if my purse isn't hanging from my shoulder when I go somewhere.
I always thought I liked lots of pockets and compartments but things tend to get lost and forgotten in those places. Now I have just one "cell phone pocket" inside. I don't have a cell phone so that's where I keep my medical cards and bank receipts.
ReplyDeleteOkay!! This is the new must post it list. Funny stuff!! How often do you use your mini-flashlight? :)
ReplyDeletePurses are a pain...but what would I do without one?
ReplyDeletehi sounds like you could hold a garage sale from the contents,
ReplyDeleteand live in the bag afterwards.
ouch! LOL Okay, so maybe the flashlight could go in the garage sale! : )
ReplyDeleteYou sound very prepared for whatever might come up! I'm impressed with the flashlight and the mini tool set.
ReplyDeleteThe shoulder straps are generally too long for me. Recently, I had Denis put in a new hole and cut the excess off of my purse strap and it's so much more comfortable.
Love the list of purse contents. That's a cool idea for a blog post! Someday I might have to list mine -but first I think I'll do a little "house cleaning" :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had time to go through my purse but a few things I always carry are chapstick and kleenex's and I like an inside zippered compartment for the unmentionable woman products. I'm like you, I usually have my cell phone (although it's usually off) unless I forget to put it in when it's charging. I feel lost when I don't have mine too.
ReplyDeleteI love my "purses". This summer for my bday my sister gave me a real Donna Karen purse :-O !!! :-) Thank you very much for your commen over at draw this
ReplyDeleteI feel lost without my purse too. Sometimes my husband will ask me why I need to bring it someplace. I just never know what I might need from it.
ReplyDeleteI'm good at losing my purse or leaving it behind... *sigh* And when I do have it with me it is so full of junk I can't find anything anyways! Pathetic, I know, but so true.
