Ladies... what's in your purse?

I was at the grocery store this morning.
I had my big bag like most times.
Well not really.
I don't usually carry it around to the store. I usually take my Dooney & Bourke wristlet.
(I love that little thing). Mine is in this design,

but this style:

(normally I'd post a picture of my actual bag, but I no longer own a decent working camera)
My cousin Lauren has this bee themed one. She's a huge fan of the Astro's Killer Bees.
Cute, huh?


Anyway. At HEB, I'm ready to pay my bill so I pull out my little wristlet (cos I use it as a wallet in my huge ass bag) and I notice I have some sandals in there!!! a pair of sandals. I got a little embarrassed. What if I would have been in a shoe store and they had to call the cops?? well its a good thing the shoes looked to have been worn. See, I picked them up from my sister's house on Saturday cos she stole them from my house. So my purse was the most convenient place to put them to snatch them back. And I for got to pull them out when I got home. (they're out now and in their spot in the closet. Its one of those door-hangy-organizer-things)


So I had to laugh at myself and wondered what else I've been carrying in my bag.
Well here it goes:
  • check book
  • plastic envelope looking thing for my bills and pay stubs and other important info I THINK I need to carry around
  • a coupon organizer -- and I hardly ever use coupons anymore.
  • the usb cord for my mp3 player
  • two sets of earbud headphones one black, one white... (I have to match the best I can)
  • my mp3 player, in its case
  • my 120 gig western digital portable hard drive and its usb cord
  • a tube of lipstick that I never use
  • several hair accessories - pony holders, clips, etc.
  • a pen (yeah, one pen?? with all the other crap, you'd think I'd have several pens, huh?)
  • some gobsomething or another jawbreaker like candy. (haven't even eaten one of 'em)
  • a spoon. a real stainless steel spoon.
  • a book of stamps
  • a pair of sunglasses
  • a book (cocktails for three, madeleine wickham)
  • and some loose change.

oh guess what I didn't have in there? my cell. I forgot it at home. oh and my car keys were in my pocket. I hate to put them in my purse cos they get lost in the abyss that is the inside of my bag.

So, go ahead and take a look in your purse... what's in there?
anything interesting?

I've gone into the grocery store with DVDs in my purse before. Thankfully they are usually something so obscure there is no way they would have them in the grocery store in the first place.

I'm pretty fussy so I clean out my purse every few days. But I'm still on the search for the perfect purse. Haven't found it yet.
