I have a problem. My purse is messy. Seriously messy. So messy that when my phone rings it often goes to voice mail before I can find it. Within the last week and a half I have had my purse dumped out upside down twice. The first time was at the Conference Center. I was not happy. I knew they were going to search my purse but seriously this was like a cavity search for purses. The second time I was with my mom and I heard a distant ring. I thought it was my phone. I looked and looked for it but I couldn't find it. My mom was with me so she looked and looked for it too. My mom ended up dumping the whole thing out in the front seat of the car. I still couldn't find my phone. It turned out my purse was so messy it jumped out and went under the seat. I took this as a sign. It was time to clean out my purse. So forty-five minutes ago I told myself that before I could go to Target and buy that shoe rack I want, I must clean out my purse. What I found was slightly embarrassing so when I'm embarrassed I like to write about it and post it to the internet. Here are some of the contents. You might like to play along Eye Spy style.- A toothbrush
- Important receipts for school
- 13 Post it note lists
- Flex spending letter that should have been mailed last month
- Missing ID tag
- Computer cord for projector
- Sucker
- Two tampons
- $437 dollars in cash and checks (what? Who has $437 in their purse?)
- Another purse
- punch cards from every place that gives out punch cards (most with only one punch)
- two ticket stubs
- 47 assorted pens and pencils
Anyway, I think I've earned a trip to Target and with $437 I think I can buy a pair of shoes to go with that rack.
I must say, my favorite item is "another purse".
ReplyDeleteWow, I only find receipts and maybe a penny. I never have a pen, but I always have 4 lip balms!
ReplyDeleteGREAT!!! You'd for sure be a winner at an OWLZ baseball game where they ask for random objects from peoples purses or pockets!
ReplyDeleteMy work bag is like your purse, and still, I can never find a pen when I need one. I can never even consistently put my cell phone in the same pocket of the bag, so I am flipping from pocket to pocket to find the phone. I have several MONTHS of uncashed checks in my work bag!!!
I can't believe it all fit into that purse! 47 pens/pencils - that's amazing... I'll know who to go to when I need a writing utensil :)
ReplyDeleteGirl, you might need some therapy...and I'm not talking retail therapy.
ReplyDeleteYou should get a kitchen sink keychain.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry I dumped your purse to find your ringing phone. That's what I do when I can't find something in my purse.
ReplyDeleteI love that you had a purse WITHIN a purse. That really does it for me.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the embarrasment. I'm not sure what made the Conference Center people feel threatened by such a cute little bag...
That's too funny. The real question is, what was inside the OTHER purse?
ReplyDeleteMelissa, where oh where have you been? We need an update on your new house and your new life!
ReplyDeleteYou have just given me a great self-esteem boost... I thought MY purse was messy!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
