Purse Mystery
What’s in YOUR wallet or Purse? I saw this on another blog and thought it was a neat idea, so I figured I’d share as well.
The first time Greg went to my purse to get something out, he asked if it was OK. He came back saying, "That is the NEATEST purse I’ve every seen." Not that it was "cool" neat, but just well, neat. I don’t like to carry a lot of stuff in my purse. I see women that lug a kitchen sink and the makings, don’t know how they manage it!
Ok, so here’s what’s inside: my pink camera (love it), my "little black book" – yes, I have one of those. I just don’t trust the cell phones to keep my info, plus it has addresses and emails, etc, my "flat" wallet with pink Fleur de Lis. I’m not a person who has to have pink, but what the heck, it was different. Makes it easy to fish it out of my purse when it’s that color.
Greg’s car key, lipstick (though, I recently found out that most lipsticks have fish scales – EWW), lip gloss (Greg absolutely can’t stand gloss), Listerine spray, my keys, a 25.00 gift certificate (still good through Nov 11, I'll have to remember that), sunglasses, my phone, pen and paper (because you never know)
Yep, it’s simple, maybe a little boring. But it makes my life easy!
Oh! Greg just brought me a shake that he made. Yum! Ingredients (when you use what’s left in the refrigerator):
Ripe Banana
Frozen Reese’s Cup (Yep, he had some in the freezer)
Almond Extract
A touch of Splenda
Milk
Ice
I know, you’re wondering, how will those things taste good together? Oh, but it does! We named the drink "O'Brien Blast."
Speaking of names, I came up for a name for Greg's new vehicle - Ellie. Ok, that sounds strange, but he named his Ford Explorer "Dora" and wanted a name for the Edge. I thought Ellie was sweet and I hope she treats him right.

Hi Lauren ~ Come on over! Greg made plenty! :-)
I'm with you.My friends have kidded me for years saying I carry 'Barbie Purses'. It's all I need.
When I was working, the cool thing was that I could slip my purse in brief case. When I went to lunch mid day, I wasn't hauling the office with me.
I think the smoothie sounds good.

I wish I could keep mine that way...it always gets out of hand.
That shake sounds yummy, and my last car was named Ellie. :D
Hi Jessica ~ I was almost embarrassed to share how neat it was! I clean out my purse almost daily, but the negative side that I’m SO horrible about keeping receipts. I give them to Greg now if it’s something we’ll need in the future potentially. I really do like the name Ellie for a car, don’t know why, but it works!
Can you tell I'm a mom?
Maybe someday I'll get my purse back!
Lord knows I got bunches of those.
Amazingly neat purse, wow Aleta. Mine is filled with old receipts and my wallet and keys and occasionally a bottle of nailpolish :)
Who would have thought - of putting those ingredients together but it sounds good. It's a bit far for me to come for a taste test but I might have to try it myself. I love experimenting with smoothies.
Boy do I need to clean it out more often!
That smoothie sounds great! Anything with Reese's cups sounds delicious...
I'm with Hippomanic Jen. Mine is a disaster and sometimes I'm almost afraid to put my hand in there :)
Have a great day!

Smoothie: OOhhh, I'll have to write that one down. :)

I tried to take a picture of stuff from my purse. The shutter on the camera clammed shut in embaraasment....
Wait, fish scales in lipstick? That does not sound right at all. Gross!
Have a good weekend - Kellan
Why is it that guys have to name everything, especially their cars. My dad's car was Ole Betsy.
I think the rear end of cars at night look like faces. My daughter used to laugh at me when she was young as I described the face on certain cars until she was able to "see" it for herself.
I like the names Dora the Explorer and Ellie Edge. I like my Toy Taco (Toyota Tacoma).

Lovely !
I like to change purses out often, 'cause it helps me clean out the old paper, gum wrappers, torn pictures, and used kleenex out of the bottom! Ha Ha!
"Keys, wallet, sunnies, phone and camera" is my mantra when leaving the house. No more - no less, so good to see someone who keeps things simple.
