what’s in your purse/wallet?
Alright ladies AND gents…… if you notice I titled this “…… purse/wallet”, cuz I want to hear from the guys too! What’s in your purse/wallet? I was digging in my purse this morning when I stopped to pay my dentist bill and it scared me – seriously. So today we’re going to see exactly what’s in my purse! And let me know what’s in yours!
Here is my purse at this exact moment:
I’ve usually had small purses, but thanks to my brother’s determination to help me find my beloved Gucci bag on the last day I was in Dallas I now have a huge bag and I love it! We spent 4 hours looking for the store that had THIS bag. I also bought the Burberry bag, since my brother talked me out of the perfume – Damn him! haha Love ya Bro!
Alright here we go – I’m diving in to the what appears to be a bottomless pit! I have:

I’m quite impressed by your list. My purse is small b/c I usually stick it in the baby’s bag. All I have is several one dollar bills, credit cards, ID, baby photos, business cards, and the all too important computer memory stick (what girl can live without that?).

First off you have me curious – what’s the business? And I totally agree on the memory stick – that’s in my computer right now.

are you listing the shit in your purse or your house? seriously, i think there are people living in homes with fewer items than your purse has. and if i took a picture of what’s in my wallet, you would see the floor below because A) its empty and B) there’s a huge hole in it since ive had the same one for 10+ years. not all of us can afford new gucci purses;)

I can’t afford a purse so I just use my pockets. Could you see me if I had all that stuff in my pockets??!! (heh!heh!)

I HATE stuff in my pockets! It drives me crazy! But that’d be pretty funny to see – I think you’d have to wear suspenders! That’s a lot of stuff!!

A few things…
1. If you think he’ll ever give up his lakers wallet, I think you’re wrong.
2. I posted this over at my blog complete with photos.
3. I love that you have a Gucci “mom” purse. I remember hearing about that trip to the mall. The things he won’t do for you. 😉
4. I can’t believe i OCD itemized this list.

I am not sure how the Balderdash card ended up in there. I have game nights periodically at my house and I know that one ended up not getting back into the box and must have magically migrated to my purse.
Now it is just a good conversation piece so I may as well keep it in there.

Quite unlike all of you, I look at it this way. If it doesn’t fit in my wallet; I don’t need it.

Ha ha I told your brother last night that I was kind of expecting you to post something like “oh and PS I just looked in my purse again and look! There in the side pocket! Do you see it?! IT’S THE KITCHEN SINK!!!”
I think your mom agrees with me. 🙂
