No, not another Princess Bride quote. I’m talking about my purse. You all know what I’m talking about. The simple zippered item women take with them everywhere that holds just the essentials. Okay… it holds just a couple more items too, but you will need them eventually, so they stay in there. The one time you try to lighten the load and leave them out is the one time you will need them. Case in point – mascara & eyeliner. You put your face on every morning so why have it along?  I left them out on my trip to Vegas trying to keep my bag to it’s absolute minimum. “I’m going to be on the plane then there. Why hassle with the extra items?” so I took them out. My 4 hour  flight turned into 30 & I had to pay a $17 cab fare to get to a store to get the $10 items so I didn’t scare anyone the next morning. THATS WHY!!!!

I had a minor procedure a while back & took hubby along for his entertainment. The doctor did a sample of the laser treatment he would be preforming on a “Popsicle stick” of sorts and of course, hubby asked to keep it. Joke is on him. He put it in my purse and the sucker has yet to re-surface 3 months later.

“Purse diving” is not what I call a fun sport – especially while driving. I have learned to just leave my iPod in the center console & lock  my car rather than bringing it in each day so I have to search for it en-route when the talking on the radio drives me crazy. Whadya know? The little sucker doesn’t freeze in even -30.

Upon a recent search, I found a pack of orange tic tacs I didn’t even know I had (nom nom nom)…   a spare to my car (good find)… and a “wash your sins away” red wine flavored chapstick. *snickers* (thanks, Beth).

I got a new phone last weekend. Although they were able to transfer all my contacts & I saved my pictures to the SD card, I still have a ton of notes & such that I need to copy elsewhere… I wonder how long I’ll have 2 phones in there ’till I complete this task. It no longer rings to give away it’s location – my guess is it could be there a while…
