kinda like US magazine

This is a girl post.  About pocketbooks.

If you choose to continue, don't say I didn't warn you!  And please please don't lump me with the girlie bloggers.  I hate being lumped, it's my worst thing.

Moving on.

You know that feature in US Magazine, where they take a random celebrity and have them dump their purse?  Well, that's my assignment for today, for the Monday Listicle.  I'm sharing ten things in my purse with you.  It was a stretch let me tell you, because I don't often carry a purse.  I am anti-purse, pro-pocket.  I'd rather cram my debit card, some cash and lip balm in a pocket than carry around a purse.  I will never understand the appeal of a massive bag.

Anyway, here you go... the ultra exciting contents of my purse...



 1.  A little wallet, which incidentally isn't used to hold money.  Because I cram cash all over the place in there, no rhyme or reason.  I have credit cards and a license in there though.

2.  Debit card - can't go anywhere without that baby.

3.  Multiple Subway cards, which after my last *chicken/hair sandwich,  I might decide to toss.  There are several cards because every time I go in, I forget to bring the card I used the last time.

4.  Burt's Bees lip balm.  Can't live without it.  I am definitely addicted.

5.  Hair clip.  It's always good to carry a clip - never know when you might need to get your hair under control.

6.  Black inky pen.  There is no other pen that makes me quite so happy.

7.  Motrin 800.  I need to have one handy in case something hurts.  And sadly, something always seems to hurt.

8.  Cash.  

9.  Lip gloss, in case you need to look semi-made up. I find that a little lip gloss goes a long way.

10. Yummy Tic-Tacs.  I love those little things.  Orange used to be my favorite flavor, but right now I'm digging the multi-colored ones.

...and a bonus sort of 11.  The invisible fireball.  I always carry fireballs with me, but I am all out!  So it is not included in the picture.

*regarding the chicken/hair sandwich from Subway: last week I got a 6" chicken sub and 3/4 of the way into it, I found a nice, long hair.  A hair that was definitely not my own.  I know this because it definitely wasn't the gorgeous shade of pink I am currently rocking.  Ugh.

Also, sorry for the weird pixilations - I was messing around with them on picmonkey and didn't really have the time to fix it.

  2. Dear Lord, I am such a "be prepared for any and all tragic/apocolypse/spontaneous circumstances" kinda girl. I own two medium sized purses (I KNOW, so missing the purse/shoe gene) one black and one brown. But each is stocked (in that little inside pocket) with 6 quarters for unforseen parking meters, 2 bandaides, advil, 3 floss sticks, a tampon, hair clips, a pack of gum, and oil blotting sheets. My wallet is in there, obviously, with a small bag of make-up if I'm going out for the day. But the ESSENTIAL element that I will literally go back to the house should I forget....is perfume. I. Am. An. Addict. I wear it to bed at night and when I'm alone in the house, and....*sigh* So sad. Is there a group for this??

  3. Massive bags don't appeal to me either. However long gone are my days of being able to carry a cute little clutch or shoving the necessities into my pocket. Diabetes took care of that. I have my glucose meter, insulin, needles, glucose tabs and usually some sort of candy. Automatically disqualifies me for the cute TINY clutch.
