A Trip Into The Darkness

This morning I was trying to find my cell phone. I keep it in my purse, I usually know right where it is. For some reason, last night after using it, I put it back into the depths of the purse rather than the front pocket, which led me this morning to have to dissect the contents of my purse to find it.

In diving into the depths of my abyss, I thought it might be funny to show you what I came up with on the snorkeling expedition this morning.

my purple wallet, bulging with change
my checkbook
four kids meal straws from Chickfila (because these are great straws and I like to use them at other fast food places for my girl)
a funeral card from last week's sad events
a baggie with M&M's
a half empty (or half- full for you optimists out there) bottle of hand lotion - Sea Island Cotton from Bath and Body Works -- my fav!!
a bottle of Motrin
a bottle of Aleeve(clearly, I have pain issues when out and about the town)
2 bottles of hand sanitizer (cuz I am a Mom!!)
my girl's toy cell phone -- in case she gets an important call while we are shopping.
two happy meal toys - I have no idea what they are supposed to be or if they even do anything.
one orange earring
one smiley face ring (I can say with confidence this was won on our beach trip (three months ago) in a claw machine
a Little Nemo watch (again, not mine)
Altoids
a book of wet matches... what good would that do me???
an envelope with old pictures that I took to share with a friend the other day at lunch
oops... another bottle of Motrin!
a baggie full of loose change
my Bi-Lo card (I have been wondering where that was!!)
at least a billion store receipts (okay, not a billion -- but it is a lot!!)
face powder
lip gloss
napkins... some of them used I think... YUCK!
a matchbox car.. (a matchbox car???? I do have a daughter don't I? Where did this come from?)

I am sure there are other great finds, but truthfully that is as far I want to dive into this mess today.

Living Happily Ever After,
Beverly

I've been working really hard at keeping my purses on the small side and free of kid stuff now that they are all older and able to be their own pack horses. But today, winding my way through store after store after store, I was shocked by how much stuff I'd accumulated. Sadly, all of it was mine. All. Of. It!
