What's in the Bag?

Today, over at Monday Listicles, we are talking about ten things in our purses. Or handbags. Or if  you live in the south like I do, pocketbooks. I use all those names for mine so it makes no difference to me. Now that my boys are getting older, I don't have as big a variety of loot as I once did in there and I just bought a new one a couple of weeks ago so there wasn't anything too weird or unusual in there. But here are ten things I found...



1. Fossil Wallet.  I LOVE Fossil but it is hardly ever on sale and I'm just not one to fork over a bookoo of money for a little thing like a wallet or a purse.  But I found this one marked down at Belk last summer (and I had a coupon) so I jumped right on it.  Score!



2. Three lipsticks and three chapsticks.  Because apparently I prefer my lip products in threes. Also, I can never seem to find the perfect shade so I like to mix them together.  


3. iPhone. Because just like every other person living in the First World today, it is the one thing I absolutely cannot leave home without. How did we ever manage before? I'm not sure my boys know what a payphone or an encyclopedia even are. And I know they don't know how to read a map.  

4. Two church bulletins. Because I always stuff them in there on my way out of church on Sunday and I've had this bag now for exactly two Sundays. I have never been diligent about tossing things like this out although I know full well it would make my life much easier (and less cluttered) in the long run.    
5. Red Isotoner Gloves. Mostly worn for pumping gas in the cold. 


6. Hand sanitizer and lotion. Because I like clean, moisturized hands?


7. Checkbook.  Because sometimes the occasion still arises in which I must write a check.  I still remember my very first checks, back in the early 90's.  They had pink flamingos on them.  The ones I have today aren't nearly that exciting.

8. A pen without a lid. Because I never fail to lose the lid which is why every purse I own has ink somewhere on the liner.  

9. Two fingernail files. Because I needed a spare?  

10. Two packs of gum.  Because sometimes I feel minty and sometimes I feel fruity.  But mostly fruity.

  2. My pens never, ever have lids. I blame it on the kids. Most things are their fault anyway.

  3. SO thats how you spell "bookoo". I use it all the time but never knew how to spell it. Thanks!

    I KNOW you got more stuff in there than that. Even after only 2 weeks. I been married too long to be that easily fooled.

  4. I never go anywhere without my hand sanitizer in tow...not about to take any chances! I can never find the right shade of lipstick, either. In fact, I bet I own 15 tubes of the stuff! It always looks so good in the tube, but the moment I put it on my lips, it changes color. What's up with that?!

  5. I can't go without my hand sanitizer and hand lotion either! They are a must-have. And that IS a cute purse!

  6. I gave up on the pens with caps a long time ago. I carry the pens with clickers. Love Fossil too!

  7. Cute bag, girlie! I have a few tubes of Carmex in my bag too and about 5 sanitizers because I can't run out. I just can't!

  9. I love Fossil too and I always fuss at the prices of the wallet saying, "Who do you think you are Coach?" And then I say, "But I want you!" You must have had a special Belk coupon. Mine always says you can't use them for Fossil. STINKS. Your contents look a lot like mine. I do have a wallet like that that I use with a Camel purse in the summer and I chew a different kind of gum (EXTRA - Sweet Watermelon). I'm going to look for your Trident one.

  10. All I carry around these days is a Vera Bradley key chain/change purse thingy with my necessary cards- driver's license, debit, ss, insurance. Now if I could just simplify my house...LOL

  11. I use to have gum in mine. Lil Duck recently discovered the joys of gum chewing and it evidently looses flavor after about 5 minutes. She has to spit it out and start over. :D I have the exact same hand lotion...great minds.

  13. I don't even know if I have ten things in my purse. I know.... I'm unfit to be out in public.

  14. I only carry a wristlet along with my school bag, so most of this stuff won't fit, but I do have a lot of it in the pockets the bag! :-)

  15. I totally mix my lipsticks together, too!! We should clearly start a line! ;) And the gloves are genius!

  16. In St Augustine there is a Fossil outlet store. I LOVE IT!!!
    I think it's funny you have 2 of everything! =)

  17. Does anyone even get fancy checks anymore? I only write checks to the schools and to church ... and now the schools have FINALLY switched over to electronic paying. A box of checks lasts a year.

    Speaking of church, they really should have a trash can on the way out like a movie theater so that I can toss all of the bulletins, flyers, candy wrappers, and broken crayons instead of shoving them in my purse to live out their days.

    I love your purse by the way. I am a sucker for a good lining. Ellen

  18. I am probably one of the few "others" out there that has been holding out on getting an iPhone and only because I know I wouldn't be able to refrain from playing...I mean using it to look up meaningful stuff. Ha!

    You take great photos!
