I was torn this evening between taking time to write a blog or taking time to clean out my purse, which is tipping the scale at about 25 pounds. So I decided to kill two birds with one stone (what a terrible saying… who is throwing all these rocks at birds? I mean sure, birds are creepy, but they don’t deserve to be stoned).
I often joke that my purse is the source of all my powers. I’m like Mary Poppins that way. I can find something in there for every situation. However, my back is aching and I’ve taken to leaving my purse in the car and just pulling out what I need, so I figure it’s time to make some important choices.

| Mary Poppins - a most impressive bag lady |
So let the sorting begin! Here goes –
Trash
1) a broken ink pen, in several pieces
2) a checkered piece of ribbon (no clue where this came from)
3) a post-it note with the following words: red and green leis, tape, mittens, dice
4) a gum wrapper
5) a receipt for a haircut
6) a receipt for Chinese food
7) 3 tickets to the Tulsa Shock game from 2 weeks ago
8) Several luggage tags
9) A melted fun size kit kat bar
10) A kazoo
11) a plastic whistle
12) a receipt from a girl’s night at Buffalo Wild Wings
13) a half a bag of M&Ms from who-knows-when
Putting Away
1) a camera that does not belong to me - it’s getting returned. My phone takes better pictures anyway
2) John Frieda Frizz-Ease hair spray – I have no use for this in the summer.
3) A Nintendo DS – Micah has been looking all over for this!
4) 3 batteries
5) Bath & Body Works Vanilla Sprinkle Cookie hand sanitizer
6) Jason Mraz’s new CD
7) A bag full of brooches from a senior citizen program I did two months ago
8) A “box top for education”
9) One pearl earring
10) Bath
11) The screw-top of a lamp
Going Back In
1) A calendar I use to keep up with stats and such
2) A notepad and pen
3) 3 P’s in a Pod Sinus Balm – it’s addictive
4) That Gal face brightener
5) Sunscreen (my terrible sunburn proves I had no idea this was in there)
6) A Uniball pen
7) A phone charger (just going back in so that I can take it to the office. Of course, I’ll forget about it and leave it in there for all eternity)
8) Tylenol (needed this so bad a few days ago, also had no idea it was in there)
9) Caribbean Escape hand sanitizer
10) A polkadot reusable shopping bag (it folds up teeny tiny)
11) A check for Jay’s birthday from Grannie Annie :)
12) An appointment card for my
next Dr.
appointment
13) A punch card for pedicures
14) Directions to camp (I’ve driven it a dozen times but I still need my cheat sheet!)
15) My IPOD earphones
16) My cell phone car charger
17) The IPOD I never use
18) A small pouch I got from Thirty-One that I haven’t figured out what to use for yet
19) Boscia green tea blotting linens
20) Lysol To Go spray
21) A bag of tiny jawbreakers
22) Aveda Hand Relief lotion
23) One dose of sinus medication
24) Sephora lip gloss in “Precious Pink”
25) Rosebud Strawberry Lip Balm
26) A small mirror from Thirty-One
27) Be fine food skin care Lip Serum with chamomile & beets – for the record, I am aware that I have way too much lip stuff in my purse, but I can’t decide what to leave out, so I keep it all.
28) One gorgeous Kate Spade wallet

Alright, I've put everything away and reloaded the purse. It's looking quite nice and tidy.... I give it a week!
Kisses!
