You Can Tell A Lot About A Woman...


"You can tell a lot about a woman by the contents of her purse." 

Does that quote sound familiar?  I'm sure it's been said before, but the first time I heard it was on the Pixar film, The Incredibles.  

I thought it would be fun to list the items I find in my purse.  I don't even know what all is in there. I just know it's heavy.  So you ready?  Here goes:

Listed in order of how they are pulled out...

1.  Checkbook  Amazing... I think I write about one check every 4 months or so.
2. My medication  I keep some in my purse in case I forget to take it at home.
3. Myoplex Protein Bar  Just in case I get hungry.
4. My wallet  The contents of which could be its own blog.
5. Miami Ink 50 SPF Sunscreen    Love this stuff!  Smells great.
6. A plastic wrapper from a bottled Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino  Trash.
7. Coppertone Kids 30 SPF Sunscreen  I was wondering where that went.
8. A Uniball Gel Pen
9. An old shopping list
10. Coupon book for the Zoo and Wild Animal Park  Got this yesterday when I renewed our membership.
11. Cell phone  The battery still works!!  I amaze myself sometimes.
12. A candy wrapper from one of those little mints you get on the way out (and in) of a restaurant  More trash.
13.  A week-old receipt from the rock store down town  
14. Victoria Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss  Flavor/Color= The Big Caramapple 
15. Victoria Secret Beauty Rush Lip Gloss  Flavor/Color= Cherry Bomb (my favorite)
16. An ancient photo pick-up slip from Legoland  Never did pick up the picture.  Trash.
17.  A Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt receipt  Funny thing is, it's not even mine!  A friend I ran into wrote her phone number on the back of the receipt she found in her purse and gave it to me. Not trash... better put it in a good place.
18. A gold foil chocolate novelty ingredient sticker off of some chocolate novelty from Sees Candy 
19. One half-full roll of cinnamon Certs
20. Our temporary passes to the Zoo and WAP
21. Another receipt for rocks
22. Guest passes for the Zoo and WAP  Anyone want to join us sometime?
23. A smashed, previously melted (many times) Balance Energy Bar  Flavor= Mocha Chip.  This will be going in the trash.  I'm never that desperate to eat! 
24. A frozen yogurt card... buy 8 get one free!  I'm saving that!
25. My red Swiss Army Knife key chain with keys to who knows where!  
26. A faded Starbucks receipt
27. A small, navy blue, fuzzy pom-pom ball
28. A shark tooth  Really!
29. Lint
30.   A smashed collector penny from the WAP.
31. Something that looks like a small cupcake paper thingee  Hmmmm...
32. Sand  And I just got it under my fingernail.  Ick!


So, what do the contents of my purse say about me?  Mostly, they say I have kids--boys.  Boys who love nature and going to fun places; I need caffeine and love chocolate; I live in one of the best places in the country; I try to protect my boys and myself from sun damage; I can't stand dry lips; and I worry about having coffee breath.   Maybe some Freudian psychologist would have blast analyzing what the stuff in my purse says about me.  But, if you're reading this, and you're one... don't tell me.  I like to keep things simple.

So, what do you have in your purse?
