It's in the Bag




I've been wanting to do one of these for awhile now. Here it goes. Sorry for the poor picture quality but I used my cell phone camera.

From the top.

Target white bag. I love this thing. It's huge. It's white. It has tassled drawstrings. The best part is that it's dark brown on the inside. It holds everything.

Water. I think it's rare when you'll find me without water in my purse. I cannot stand being thirsty. I usually grab one every morning before I leave the house - sometimes the same water bottle could be left in there for weeks.

O magazine. Bought this at the Cozumel airport. It was $8. I was a wee tired of my book, so I wanted some new reads.

Gourmet magazine. We get these at work. I get more excited over their delivery than a Vogue magazine. I'm the only one in the office grabbing it as soon as it arrives. There are several recipes that I am dying to try. On the front cover is a picture of a BBQ pork burger with coleslaw...I am dying to try it first.

The Manny. Want to know a secret? I bought this book for one reason only: Some forgotton (I can't remember which one it was) magazine. About a month ago, they said it was a hot read & then said there is a hot blow job scene on page something or the other. Yeah, moving on...

Passport. Well I just got back from Mexico and really should put it in a safe place. There is a romantic side of me that wants to keep it in my purse, just in cases. Maybe someone will ask me to go to Paris, pronto, I'd like to think I'm ready.

Keys. The keyring is a solid silver heart. It is heavy as a ton. No joke. It's my mace. If someone were ever to attack me - one blow with this would surely cut them back. It's also great if I leave them in my pocket.

T make-up bag. T is my initial and I go ga-ga over anything monogrammed. I'd wear a letter T everyday if I could. I only carry this bag once a month - it houses all my period essentials: pantyliners, tampons, and ibuprofen. It comes in real handy to be secretive when going to the restroom at work. You've seen how big my bag is - I'm not lugging that to the restroom several times a day!

Wallet. The purse essential.

C.O. Bigelow lip gloss.
The tastiest, shiniest, glossiest, longest lasting lip gloss on Earth. 'Nuff said.

Gum. I don't brush my teeth after every meal. I pop in gum. It does the trick.

My planner. The one thing I cannot live without. I am old school. I love writing things down in the calendar. I love writing in contacts' addresses. I love flipping it open to the month and seeing all my scribbles. Blackberry? NEVER. *I have two, this one and another that I accidently left with Bev. Yes, I carry around 2 planners. I'm that anal. But both are gorgeous and I can't let them go. I also love to synch them up. I'm crazy.

What's in your bag?

I love it!

I have that lip gloss too! And my initial is also T!

I was so gonna mail you your extra planner/calendar this morning, but I didn't have your address handy.

I'll play along soon with my own purse photo. Fun idea.

Oh, as far as being inconspicuous with the feminine stuff: I tuck my tampons into my waistband and pull my top over to cover it. Usually works fine.

This is such a fun idea!! I might have to do it too!

Beth said...

I love this!!!

I too, carry a planner/diary...it has all the important stuff in it. I would never have a Blackberry...I like the ritual of actually writing something down.

now about that blow-job scene......
