It’s been said that you can tell a lot about a person by how clean their car is (on the inside), or what books are on their bookshelves, or CDs in their collection.
I wonder if that applies to purses?
In a moment of “can’t find it” panic the other day, I dumped the contents of my purse.
Kirk needed me to find my prescriptions that needed filling — now. (I’d already “forgot” several times). After several minutes of rummaging through the chaos, I finally dumped the bag.
The rush of shame as the contents cascaded onto the floor was magnified as the onlooker –my husband, slowly shook his head, saying things like, “I just can’t believe you have money thrown in there.” Oh, just a few dollar bills (and a 10 spot) …not a big deal.
Crazy thing is, I like things neat and organized. I just have a hard time keeping up with stuff. It must be the 40 hour a week job. Yeah, that’s it.
To quote a favorite U2 Song…”I still haven’t found what I’m looking for” — is all I could think when I came up empty on the prescriptions.
However, I did find:
3 Advil, 3 grocery lists, emery board, camera, phone & charger, comb, many receipts, coupons, my datebook, lip gloss, lipstick, $13, 2 pencils, 6 pens, church bulletin, church hand-out cards, floss, Victoria’s Secret card for a free panty, an earring that isn’t mine (but I thought it was, so I took it from lost+found), 3 slips of paper with window measurements, Panera card…you get the idea!
So, what’s the most unusual or embarrassing item in your purse, wallet, computer bag, backpack?
Next: The bookshelves! (at least they are neat)
P.S. I found the prescriptions!!!!
