The first thing you would do if you looked in my purse is laugh. As much as I like to think I am organized and prepared, my purse is out of control. You might get to know me very well by rummaging through the contents of my purse as I do not tend to keep much of my life private.
The first thing that i managed to dig out is my lotion since it is the biggest thing in there. It is Olay BODY quench PLUS age defying lotion. I thought my body would stay perfect forever but life is cruel. I might be able to blame my dry skin on my job since I do wash my hands about every 3 minutes that I am there (I work at a Daycare..).
Next is my fake snake skin wallet. I bought it at Target for $12.00. I thought it was the most beautiful wallet I had ever seen. Inside it I have two 100 dollar bills, 24 cents, 3 ticket stubs to CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 3-D, money order receipts for my rent, a note from my favorite Aunt that says "I love you", all of my family's social security cards (bad girl, I know.), an advertisement for Disney on Ice, library card, Costco card, Toys'R Us gift card, my Driver's License (which I must say my picture is stunning), my boyfriend's debit card, CPR and first aid card and various punch cards for the many coffee stands I am loyal to. I know that was a mouth full, but sometimes it is so full I can't even shut it.
There is also my chap stick. I have no makeup in my purse at all. That is not the kind of girl I am. If I am going out for a night on the town, sure, I will get dolled up. My usual routine in the morning consists of showering, throwing up my hair and putting on my chap stick as I am running out the door. I think this might tell you that I am a simple, low-maintenance kind of girl.
My purse also holds various pens and sharpies. This is a new habit that I have picked up since I have been spending more time with my Mom. In the past I would be scrounging for a pen to write down some important thing I needed to remember that I almost always forgot. Yes, because I didn't have a pen. I am much better about that these days. So if you need to borrow one, ask me.
I am not sure how it got in there but the controller for my son's Nintendo is in my purse. Hm..
I have a few receipts with include places like Marshalls and Target, a shopping list that consists of multi purpose cleaner, garbage bags, styling glue, pull-ups and heat protector for my hair.
Then there is my phone, which is my life line. I would die without it. I religiously talk to my grandmother, my mom, my sister and my boyfriend all day long. I text like a maniac and am always checking my Facebook on my lunch break.
One might get the wrong impression by my keys. I do not like High School Musical, but yes, I do have a High School Musical "leash" on my keys. It is also rare that I shop at Haggen, Petco, Borders or QFC and yet I have all the discount cards hanging onto my keychain. The most deceitful thing I carry with me on my keys would be my membership card to Gold's Gym. This makes me laugh, I pay $50 a month so that I can think of running on the treadmill everyday. I never go. You might think I am a super-fit, ab-rockin' lady, I'm not. I like candy bars as much as the next person.
I have nothing to hide. I am proud to be a messy, movie going, coffee drinking, simple yet crazy Mama.

Ashley, I started laughing when I read the "Olay Body quench PLUS age defying lotion" and didn't stop until I saw the "text like a maniac". Your last sentence "I have nothing to hide..." is honest and sincere, but I'm not sure how sincerely a person would view you by looking in your purse. We just hope for the best and pray we don't lose it, right?
ReplyDeleteI have had purses like yours. They would collect more and more, until I had to close my eyes, throw them in the bottom of the closet and start over.
i like your way of writing.I found it kind of funny with all you carry. :) i like your last paragraph where you say you have nothing to hide. Keep up the good writing and have a good quarter.
