What’s really in your bag?
After a busy weekend, and a few days spent “self-promoting” some recent blogs (so sorry) and trying to meet some rapidly approaching deadlines, I haven’t had time to get any blogs posted. This morning I read a blog that I thought was fun and I’m totally “stealing” it from Stacey Loscalzo, who credits the idea to the blog A Cup of Joe (featuring illustrations of bag items by Emily McDowell). All three blog are cool – so check them out. So without further lazy ado…
Here’s what’s in my bag:
♦ Wallet, make-up bag, checkbook
♦ Reading glasses and sunglasses (and case)
♦ Spiral notebook, multiple pens
♦ Book I’m reading: The Aviator’s Wife
♦ Framed picture of me and my bro.
♦ Audrey’s coin purse
♦ Mini-purse which held my gift cards, which apparently opened – thus there were random gift cards floating around.
♦ Receipts, hair clips, gum wrappers
♦ My Amex (missing for a few days – now found)
♦ Lipstick (missing….ditto)
♦ Somebody’s socks
♦ Gloves
♦ Business and appointment cards
Compared to my purse, you look like you have OCD. Seriously. I’m impressed 😉
Seriously? Ok I’m scared. I really think mine is a disaster. And the OCD comment? I may have to kick you in the shin the next time I see you – that’s a hot button issue:).
I love that you did this too!! I think it is such a great snapshot in to someone’s life. I haven’t read The Aviator’s Wife but I’ve been meaning too… Thanks for the reminder. Also, awfully glad you found your Am Ex! A worthwhile blog post for that fact alone!
Thanks Stacey – especially for the inspiration!!! I’m really enjoying The Aviator’s Wife. I spent most of last night Googling the Lindbergh family – an Anne Morrow Lindebergh biography has made my to-read list. I have to know how much of The Aviator’s Wife is based on fact. Warning, the chapters about the kidnapping a very difficult to read.
That’s really cute! You should do a story on strange things found in your purse. I once found a pair of my underwear in my purse – still no idea how they got there…. Also, some food that had fallen off of the table into my purse about a week or two at a restaurant before I found it (gross!)
You crack me up Jackie! I seem to remember you having a similar discovery in your purse at my 4oth birthday party – hmmm….
Actually, I think it was my coat pocket….. 🙂
You’ve been better about blogging lately than I have! 😉 I look forward to our “Clean Eating Week” together!
Thanks for visiting. Yes, I’ve been unusually diligent. I’m getting ready for out “Clean Eating Week,” and then off for spring break:)!
