Don't carry a purse, but when I did before it was a diaper bag/everything else catcher. I had reciepts, Id's bitth certificates, social security cards, WIC vouchers, powers of attorney, keys, change, mcdonald's monopoly pieces, crumbs from half chewed biter buscuits. . .you name it. Which, is why I no longer carry a purse.

I'm looking and right now there's my wallet, a mystery novel, a pocket edition of Oscar Wilde (you never know when you'll need a good put down), three lipsticks I aways forget to put on, a hair brush, my keys, a small flashlight, tissues, ibuprofen, eye drops (two kinds), three lottery tickets I need to check before I can claim my millions, hand cream, two pens, sunglasses, a boxcutter, my security badge from work, a pamphlet from Lowes about wallpaper, a hair tieback though I cut my hair a couple of months ago and don't need it anymore, a wristwatch I thought I'd lost and some breath mints.

Did I forget to mention I have a big purse?

It's been hitting me a lot lately. I think it's cause I'm so stressed out. That and mom's not doing well again, which is part of the reason I'm so stressed, so we'll just go with the stressed out part.

Thanks

Wallet, passport (because my ID-card has expired), paper napkins, keys, cell phone, pencils, sunglasses, note on car security check procedure (drivers' test coming up reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally soon!), lip balm.

It's not usually this empty; only I'm using a smaller handbag than usual right now.

That's me most of the time.

When I'm wearing a purse - more of a small backpack, really - it's because I have to, and it's only for the bare essencials:

- wallet with money and ID, bank and bus cards (otherwise in a pocket)
- keys (otherwise in a pocket)
- mobile phone (otherwise on a belt-clip)
- sun glasses (otherwise on)
- emergency eye-drops and contact lenses container
- emergency make-up kit
- emergency tampon
- 33cl water bottle

chapstick...*which i have abandon because of my current conspiracy theory*

Is your conspiracy theory that chapstick makes your lips dryer/more sensative so that you're dependent on it?

Because I read that there *was* a certain ingredient in *certain* chapsticks that thins your lips. Unfortunatly, I don't remember what it is, but if you use something that just has petrolium jelly and wax, vegetable oil, ect. and no fancy sounding cemicals, you should be fine [best of all- just use vaseline. It gives you a great shine and it helps skin heal]

wow! This gives me an entirely different image of you You just switched over from Blair to Jo

I believe purses originated because women's clothing didn't have pockets (or some did, but weren't easily accessible). [the rest is conjecture]

Then they became fashion accessories, so designers had to play around with making them smaller, bigger, more pockets, ect ect. As they got bigger, we naturally invented a need to carry more things around in them. Just because we could. By the time women's clothes resembled men's closely enough that we *did* have pockets- we were carying too much junk and it was all too big anyway to transfer over.

It's all a plot of the evil patiarchy! They are oppressing us with our big bags and all of the junk that we lug around. Don't doubt it- most big name designers are male!
