What We Carry
***

Lately, I have toned down what I being in my purse. My fiance Tom says I bring too much stuff, but you know how the saying goes, "You can never have enough." I'm kinda embarrassed knowing I carry so much stuff. Most of the time, it's because I forgot to take them out; other times, it's just for security - you know, it's nice to have them with me even though
I don't really need it. At this very moment, this is what's in my purse: (beware, I really bring a lot of crap everywhere I go)

  • a small green notebook - for emergency notes
  • 2-year planner - for important dates
  • a ziplock bag with 2 Halloween-sized KitKat bars
  • a Magic Rub eraser - which I forgot to take out
  • 2 sets of keys - 1 for my parents, the other for my apt.
  • 1 bottle of Cover Girl Vintage Roses nail polish - I painted my nails at work
  • 1 small travel-sized bottle of Bath & Body Works Freesia lotion
  • wallet - credit cards, lots of receipts, pictures, money, business cards, license
  • 1 Starlight mint - green one
  • an overdue phone bill
  • lots of pieces of paper with notes scribbled on it - for some kind of purpose
  • a white scrunchie - for my long, unruly hair
  • a paperclip
  • a cute lipstick holder w/ mirror - Hello Kitty
  • a small calculator
  • a tiny phone book - most of the info is outdated anyway
  • a Garfield checkbook & check register
  • 2 Chinese fortune cookie fortunes
  • a pay stub
  • a paid credit card statement
  • a coin purse - coins, peppermint (red one), credit card, gas receipts
  • a pocket mirror - 5 years old
  • 6 lipsticks - including 1 in the lipstick holder

I know what you're thinking, "Why so many?"
My answer, "I don't know."

  • 1 tube of Anbesol - I accidentally bite the inside of my lip a lot
  • a 3.5 floppy disk - for all those personal things I type at work
  • 2 tiny jaw clips on my purse straps

Honestly, this isn't a lot. I recently splurged on myself and bought a new purse. The last one I had was so dilapidated and worn out. The one I carry around now is a small purse, and it doesn't looked stuffed at all. It's just that all the stuff I carry are real small, and so many.
