the things I carry
I got a new purse yesterday, which required that I actually clean out my old purse. Which then required that I marvel at the sheer amount of crap that I carry around.
My old purse contained, among other things:
No woman is truly complete without a purse-size alligator.
(My gorgeous new purse is by BagLady by Design, if you're interested.)
My old purse contained, among other things:
- A bottle of vitamins
- An undeposited paycheck
- A paring knife
- A book of matches
- Carmex, lipstick, and tinted lip gloss. Heaven forbid that a situation should come up when I do not have the appropriate lip adornment, apparently.
- A little baggie of children's hair accessories
- My iPod
- gum and breathmints
- three blue ink pens
- random crumpled up receipts and gum wrappers
- standard purse stuff: cell phone, keys, wallet
- A tiny pink plastic alligator.
No woman is truly complete without a purse-size alligator.

A paring knife?!
My purse has recently been home to a minature giraffe. I haven't the heart to evict him.
Have you ever read the children's book The Lady With the Alligator Purse? It's not related, just reminded me... hehe because you are the lady with the alligator in your purse..
LOVE the new purse! You have the best style, Jen! Glad to hear I'm not the only one who finds a utensil in her purse every now and then.
Really, a paring knife! That's preparedness for you!
I have a wood fish in mine for some odd reason...still not sure why
lol Does your paring knife get used often? :) I think I would just stab myself with it while looking for something else in my purse. :)
Thankfully you didn't try to board a plane. You'd be writing from airport jail for carrying a paring knife.
Love it. I'd be scared to inventory mine. Always keep random things in there for emergency "please be quiet kids!" moments.
"D'oh!" (Rummaging for alligator to add to purse)
See, now you know me. If I tried to write something about the amazing contents of my handbag, it would be the most boring post in the world for you know I never allow my bag to carry anything but the necessities. It is fun to see what other ladies find themselves carrying though.
love the randomness of it. :) We are moving this weekend and I stuck my TWO "wisdom rods" (aka spankers :)) in my purse so they wouldn't get misplaced. But lo and behold, I ended up having to go through a security line and have my purse rummaged today! The security officer didn't say anything about them, but I was a little self-concious. :) Love th new purse. I'm due for a new one myself. :)
