End of Summer Edition!
Were you a part of the January edition of this fun little purse clean-out?
If not, you sure missed out. Some of the things people carry around in their purse astound me!
So, since the summer is winding down, I figured it was time to clean-out our shoulder bags once again!
- Pack of gum (Hey, that's normal!)
- Car keys
- Sharpie (Never know when people will ask for my autograph!)
- Assorted book promo items
- Lunch Bag
- Sunglasses
- iPod charger
- 1 Beaded necklace
- 2 Lip Glosses (That's what started this whole post back in January!)
- 4 Balloons (Guess I never took them out last time.)
- 2 Legos
- 3 Alka-Seltzer Packs
- 7 Halls (I threw them out. They had purse scum on them.)
- 2 Life-Savers (Currently resides in the trash as well.)
- 2 Sunglasses (Not mine)
- 2 Hand lotions (Stolen from hotels)
- Eye drops (Never know when you'll need these)
- Tylenol
- Flashlight (So I can find crap in my purse)
- Notepad (Inspiration doesn't always strike while at a computer.)
- Bills (This stack includes a checkbook, a Square credit card reader, and random notes I've written about my books.)
- Wallet
- 17 Hair Items (Note: None of these belongs to me.)
- A Princess Key (In case I stumble upon a castle?)
- 55 Cents (Very fuzzy, now in my wallet.)
- Receipts
- That darn Turkey Trot medal is still in there (My hubs asked me about this the other day!)
- Pen and Pencil (one of each isn't so bad)
- 17 Crayons (I think I've collected a few since my last post. Sigh.)
- 4 Rings inside of balls (I need to make my daughters clean out my purse. Really.)
That's it this time.
So, what's in your purse?
Can't wait to read the comments!

Holy crap, you have a lot in your purse! This is what I have in mine right now...no joke.
ReplyDelete1) My shopping lists from last week and the week before.
2) One penny
3) A straw wrapper from Starbucks
That's right. That's what happens when you work from home and rarely take your purse anywhere. Yes, I do have a wallet, but it's currently not in my purse. :)
:) As I said on FB, this looks like the inside of a kids tote bag, and you left out the most important thing - the purse! :) you get 2 smiles.
ReplyDeleteYeah...I didn't take a picture of my poor, falling apart purse. :-) What's in yours?!
ReplyDeleteWow... sounds like my purse...
ReplyDeleteLet's see.... I have my wallet, some bills, cell phone, old cell phone (for #'s that aren't in the new one), pens galore, chewing gum, two things of lotion.... the big tubes not the small ones, cell phone charger, a toy car, hair bands, crayons, receipts, coupons from the store, note pad, checkbook, Colin's old glasses that he doesn't wear anymore with prescription, droid mP3 player, car key, house keys X 2, because you never know when I'll need more then one! Dylan's 3Ds with the new MarioKart 7... I may get bored at work for that one! Money... and that's about it... from what I can see. I'm sure there is more... OH! There are the cards from the casino, that I use to get discounts off at the buffet. From two separate casinos. I should probably gamble to get my money's worth...
Wow... who knew my purse would hold so much!!!
You make me want to cry, Sharon. I can't believe that's all you have in your purse. :(
ReplyDeleteAlright... I've now see another person who has had the straw wrapper from Starbucks!! I have about two or three shopping lists in my purse right now. I forgot to add that one in...
ReplyDeleteWell, I recently splurged on myself and bought a NEW PURSE so I don't have as much as I did, but here goes: checkbook, wallet, sunglasses, id badge from work, pack of Doctors toothpicks, pack of BC headache powders, 2 pacifiers, first aid kit, contact lens kit, feminine product holder ;), hairbrush, pepermint from Sonic, small zipper pouch with all "important" cards in it (insurance, ss, etc.), and iPad/iPhone charger. That's pretty good for me!! =)
ReplyDeleteOh, I almost forgot my "backup phone"! (it's a long story, but I have a 2nd line for myself...) LOL
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sharon, Krystal does have a lot of crap in your purse. So I just cleaned out my purse and found a rubic's cube, half-eaten dill pickle, packet of McDonald's Barbque sauce, and a feather eye-mask.

Hmmm ... well, if I didn't know you, I'd know from this post alone that you are indeed a mother. Non mothers NEVER carry that much stuff in their purses! lol
ReplyDeleteI think that in order to properly document this, I need to post in on my own blog so that I can post a picture. :-) Maybe this should be a blog hop.
I have been meaning to clean out my purse for weeks. You've inspired me! :)
ReplyDeleteThe contents of my purse:
Wallet
Checkbook
Keys
two pens
sunglasses
pile of receipts
envelope filled with expired coupons (the newest expired in July)
10 (yes TEN!) lip balm/lipstick/gloss
mirror
hand sanitizer
three cough drops
pack of gum
eye drops
bottle of Advil
tampons
one hair elastic
one flower barrette
my new PTA membership card
girl scout pins
whistle
my watch
tiny photo album
pocket knife
A coupon for $3 off bowling
TSA security clearance cards from when I picked up my daughter at the airport (four weeks ago)
Small handful of gum wrappers
One potato chip
It wasn't that bad this time (other than the pile of recyclable things).
I thought...this shouldn't be too bad...yeah...
ReplyDeleteBlue purse (Caveat #1 - the purse is new-purchased within the last month or so...yes, that means I've cleaned it out fairly recently...I have no excuse)
Feminine products (quite a handful and variety-I am often asked my women less prepared, so I come ready to save the day)
Four pens - two black, one purple, one tealish or maybe aquamarine? I don't know, some light blue color
Chewing gum - both spry and Orbitz, both peppermint
Wallet - with assorted cards and money and receipts
Glasses case - I used to do without it, but my glasses didn't like all the junk. Then I got new glasses...I keep them in the case when I'm not wearing them now
Kindle - I don't have to carry several books around with me anymore...now I carry hundreds! :)
Camera - not usually in there, but has been since vacation.
Keys
A large bag of mini chewy sweetarts
A ziploc bag of almonds
Two Clif bars - chocolate chip (not my favorite) and White Chocolate Macadamia (pretty good-I love the peanut butter one though-I probably at that one...)
Nature Valley Protein bar - Mmmm, peanut butter dark chocolate...these are awesome!
Altoids - my kids eat these all the time...really.
Lotion - peach 1.5 oz
Chapstick
Ibuprofen
Neo to Go - neosporin spray...hmmm, where are my bandaids??? I guess I need to replenish...
hair tie - blue
Little mini toothbrushes in the package - it seemed like such a great idea...I've never used them...I've had them for a year or two...
Little dollhouse plastic kitten
peppermint from Sonic
Three boxtops for education
Assorted trash - receipts, wrappers, child pick up stickers from church
Drawing of flowers done by my eldest
That's it. Yup. However, (caveat #2) I still also carry my backpack around as a diaper bag when I'm out with the kids... So I'm not sure if I should count all of that as a second purse because things kinda get put in there a lot. The crayons are in there. A spare outfit for each child (more for the one still potty training just in case, including diapers pullups and underwear). Wipes. Plastic bags. Several small toys. Crackers. Water bottles. Probably a lot of trash (although theoretically I cleaned that out recently too!). Note: I have not actually emptied the diaper bag to see the rest. This is just all from memory.
Caveat #3 - My phone sometimes resides in my purse, but only if I don't have pockets....I currently have pockets today, so my phone is on me. I don't hear it well if it's buried in my purse...I wonder why... :)
You caught me on a good day - just switched bags (which I don't normally do) and I'm proud to say that I have ... a wallet, a camera (never leave home without it), a pen, a notebook, an allergy pill, makeup bag, and a receipt from the gas station (sticker shock momento) ... ask me again next week LOL - great post - i'll definitely stop by again.
