Thirteen Things That Are In My Purse Right Now
I've often said that I would be perfect for the audience on that show where they say, "Does anyone have a hard-boiled egg?" or whatever because I always have too much stuff in my purse. I periodically dig through it and am incredulous at what I find.
1. Dental Floss - my friend and hygienist, Barb, would be so proud!
2. Eyeliner - I don't wear make-up near as much as I should, but there is always an eyeliner pencil floating around just in case I get inspired.
3. Golf Tees - I don't usually have much need for them off the golf course, but they somehow make their way into my purse.
4. Several receipts - I don't save receipts but they still find their way into the bottom of my purse. If there is a receipt that I need for some reason, it will NOT be in my purse.
5. One or two linty Rolaids - for someone who suffers from heartburn as much as I do, you would think I would have a little container keeping my Rolaids safe for emergencies...but it's usually just the two left in the roll with half the paper torn off.
6. Dental Floss - I know I already said this, but I'm looking in my purse and there's a (eeeeuuuuwww!) used piece in there!
7. A Yellow Highlighter - why? Do I think that I will feel compelled to highlight while I'm driving?
8. An oval-shaped silver compact mirror with "Still Perfect" engraved on the top
9. A business card holder with business cards in it - I don't work. But I have business cards.
10. 7 free peppermint candies from the last time we went out to dinner - I'm not a hoarder. The kids slipped them into my purse.
11. Two double A batteries - I know not why. I know not if they are any good.
12. A piece of notepaper on which is written "1:56," "12:52," Bloomsbury and 1st right. I have no idea what any of that means.
13. A pen - OMG! Will wonders never cease!!! It will definitely no longer be there when I actually need a pen.

There is nothing about this cover that calls to the reader, begging him to look at the book jacket much less buy it. Nonetheless, Stephen King purchases the book, reads 15 pages and is hooked. I felt the same way. As my BF Amy said, "It's the kind of book that you never want to end. You can't stop reading it, but you do because you want to make it last longer." Stephen King described it perfectly as a "Russian doll of a novel." Amy might have described it as "onion-like," having many layers and revealing something new as each layer is removed.
They are every parent's dream/nightmare. We WANT them to handle Cotillion, PTA, being the Room Mom, etc. But we don't want them to judge us slacker Moms for being, um, slackers!
This is such a cool feature and I only learned about it because I read
