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.

Didn't you say, in one of your blog posts, that your car is an extension of your purse? Because I found that very amusing and truthful. I have always had stuff in my car "just in case".

I have an ongoing shoulder issue and in an attempt to avoid surgery, am doing SERIOUS physical therapy AND, worst of all, I have reduced the amount of stuff in my purse and the size of my purse. I cannot tell you how anxious that makes me. But I am really trying.
