I've got it all in the bag...

So there have been a bunch of “What’s in my Bag” posts floating around lately. Mostly, they seem to be women who have their shit totally and completely together, and are organized to a fault. So since I’m not even remotely like that, I wasn’t interested in hopping on board the train.

But then Sarah did a hilarious post about it, and then Shannon informed me that she had written one like, a year ago and a half ago, way back before it was cool, and then I was like, oh, well if these two hooligans did it, and it was funny, then I suppose I can do one too. (And no, this isn't technically about wallets or anything, even though *spoiler alert* there is a wallet in my purse.) 

And here we are.

So here’s a picture of my purse from above. It doesn’t look too terribly disorganized, does it?

And then here’s a picture of all of the crap from inside my purse, unceremoniously dumped out on my desk at work.
And the best part is that basically, even though that looks like a sort of small-ish pile, there are all kinds of hidden gems in there.

So here’s a list. Since I know you’re beyond curious.

·         1 mini sample tube of Aquaphor that I got at the Prairie du Chien Half Marathonand 5k race two years ago
·         1 tube of lip gloss
·         The spare key to my car
·         A random key that goes to something, I’m sure, I just don’t know what.
·         A planner
·         A notebook. For all my notes that I rarely take.
·         My kindle. I’m like Rory Gilmore – I have to take a book with me everywhere I go.
kindle
·         48 cents in random spare change
·         3 pens, 2 Sharpie pens, and 2 actual Sharpies (except one’s a mini Sharpie)
·         A tire pressure gauge.
·         A nail file/emery board. (Are they the same thing, or is a file the metal one?)
·         A pair of headphones with a microphone so I can talk on my phone with headphones in my ears cuz I’m wicked cool like that
·         A random piece of gum
·         2 different perfumes
·         A ¾ finished post-it note pad
·         An actual container of gum, from which the aforementioned random piece must have fallen out
·         A granola bar
·         A mini banana type hair clip thing
·         My wallet
·         A coin purse that is ridiculously heavy with lots of quarters for laundry. And pennies.
·         My entrance pin from when Boyfriend and I went to the Walker Art Museum on V-Day
·         1 bobby pin
·         2 hair ties
·         4 snap hair clips
·         A taco bell receipt from like 3 weeks ago
·         A full water bottle
·         A Netflix movie I keep forgetting to put in the mail
·         My old insurance card that isn’t even valid anymore
·         7 napkins (apparently I’m messy)
·         3 mini post-it notes with random movie times scribbled on them
·         A receipt from Caribou Coffee from so long ago that I can’t read the date anymore
·         Two recipes – one for buffalo chicken pizza, and one for buffalo fries.
·         A half-finished grocery list
·         A coupon for $1.50 off a box of trash bags at target
·         2 pairs of sunglasses
·         1 pair of regular glasses in a case
·         A package of dental flossers/picks
·         Cough drops
·         Iphone charger
·         Hand sanitizer



So now that you all know everything I'm carting around with me on the daily...it's your turn to spill.

  1. Please let me know when you dislocate your shoulder from carrying so much crap around...it will probably happen the same day it happens to me because my purse is also a black hole!!!

  2. Whoa. That's a lot of stuff, but completely needable (it's a word). I realized recently that I'm currently between three purses plus a wallet clutch and I'd have to dump out all three in order to show my one bag.

    Whhhhhhhy do we do this!? And I mean carry purses, not put stuff in them because duh, I like having my hair ties with me even if I keep putting one in my purse because I'm sure I don't have one in there.

  4. Wow you carry a lot with you! I am such a neat freak that I seriously do not even have a receipt in my purse, just my wallet, hand sanitizer, chapstick, a pen, aleve, sometimes a small bottle of lotion, tampons when necessary, and my phone when it's not in my hand. It gives me anxiety to have tons of stuff in there haha but I bet it's awfully handy to have everything you have, because you never know when you'll need it!

  5. lolllllll thank you, thank you, thankkkkk you for showing what a majority of women's purses look like. Let's be real, the posts I see that people do of what's in their purse....I just have a hard time believing their purse is that clean all the time! Like whatttt!? Don't get me wrong, I try to keep mine relatively clean, but 90% of the times, that's not the easiest thing to do.

    So thanks for the laugh. I appreciate that!

  6. This made me laugh...oh man. The contents of your purse are really amusing! I am totally one of those "organized" girls you speak of. I hate when my purse is messy. I go about 3 days with receipts in the bottom and I have to clean it out. I am going to do a post like this soon...just because it seems like fun and I like seeing what people carry around with them daily.
