I carry a mini-backpack-style purse. Inside my purse at the moment: my momAgenda, my [real neat] pen, a handful of my [real neat] business cards, pocket-sized Kleenex, a small notepad, 4 crayons (i.e., blue, green, yellow, and red), a Polly Pocket compact, a beaded necklace, a small lidded snack bowl full of Goldfish, and some cracker crumbs at the bottom of my purse that consistently refuse to leave. (Can you tell that I have a preschool-aged daughter?)

Now, since I have a 3 month old, I haven’t carried a purse for a bit, instead using the gigantic 50lb behemoth known as a diaper bag. So, I found my black purse sitting in a corner of my closet, right where I left it when I got home from the hospital, and transferred most things out of it.
So, here’s what was left in it:
2 lip glosses
1 hand salve
assorted change
1 bobby pin
2 hair bands
2 cough drops
3 crumpled receipts
2 tampons
Exciting, no?
