Burial ground for old grocery lists.
Linking up with Stasha @The Good Life and another list. Because it’s Monday and stopping by her blog always makes me smile.
This week at Ducky’s @BatCrap Crazy suggestion we are listing 10 things in our purse.
So I dumped out my bag.
10. Reading glasses.
One of the items that causes PANIC if I can’t find a pair when I need them.
9. Keys to my Dad’s car.
Mom let us take my dad’s car back with us. (My dad died last New Year’s Eve). It sits in our driveway making me sad. I think she gave it to us so it wouldn’t be sitting in her driveway making her sad.
It has come in handy because my tires are shot and when I have to travel more than 10 miles — like later this week — I can hope in Dad’s car and go.
8. Wallet.
Crammed with everything imaginable except cash.
7. AAA Batteries.
This must be from an recent interview. I switched out the low ones from my recorder and stuffed them in my purse.
6. A Pen.
5. Lipstick
I started this purse a few months ago with three different tubes in three different shades. The remaining tube is my least favorite. Which explains why I’m not wearing a lot of lipstick lately.
4. Keys to my car with the bad tires.
That I usually drive everywhere around town. And if I should get into an accident that could be caused slick tires — all this stuff about my car having bad tires is utter fabrication from my sick mind.
3. Old grocery lists.
Surprised there aren’t more of those crammed in there. They usually hang round for months like old batteries.
My purse is where old grocery lists go to die.
2. Checkbook.
My wallet was too full to handle my checkbook. I kept throwing my checkbook in my bag and all the checks kept getting scrunched and torn. So I found an old baggie in there one day and put my crumbled checkbook in there.
Don’t say I’m not a recycle bunny.
1. Church program.
Look Mom, I was in church today no matter what my Twitter stream said.
What about your bag? Right now?
Grocery list burial ground. Perfect description! I can say I am actually a bit surprised that my bag didn’t contain batteries as well.
I’m sorry about the visual reminder of your Dad making you sad. Today I’m wearing a sweater that was my sister’s. My world tilted a bit and I couldn’t breathe when the reality of seeing her company logo this morning hit. I have this because she doesn’t need it anymore. Somehow I managed to not burn myself with the flat iron as flashbacks of cleaning out her closet assaulted me.
Next to chips and salsa, I must have baggies to survive.
I’m one of those annoying people whose purse is always very organized.
I think you should keep your daddy’s keys in your purse for a very long time…
This was hilarious. My purse is much too crammed with things I never ever look at but I’m very sentimental that way — can’t stand to throw out anything that reminds me of some special trip to anywhere, including apparently the grocery store. So you can well imagine how long my dad’s keys and cars would remain around…
I would have the grocery list for sure and odds are it would be mating with a Target list way down in the dark recesses of my purse!
I do the same thing with lipstick. Right now my favorite gloss and tinted chapstick have mysteriously disappeared and I’m left with a mysterious tube of grape colored lip stain that would be great for a night on on the town. But who was I kidding when I put together this purse? I have a night on the town once every six months, max.
I’m keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers as you continue to grieve your dad. ((( hugs )))
My bag is full of trash and old receipts, super disgusting!
“My purse is where old grocery lists go to die.” Ha! Mine, too!
I need to get one of them there fancy bags for my checks because I don’t have a checkbook cover and my checks are all crumpled and torn. You should market those. 😉 Ellen
Your wallet sounds a lot like my wallet. We have a lot of the same items and in multiples. 🙂
Reading about your dad’s car made me sad too. I’m sorry.
Your mom keeps tabs on you via twitter. That is the coolest thing ever 😉 so are checks a southern thing?
sorry for your loss my friend.
