What's in my purse...

{First of all, make sure you enter this week's give away here.}

I was tagged by Angela from Pickles on Pizza, and asked to share what is in my purse.  This is almost embarrassing, as I haven't cleaned out my purse in quite some time!  Let's just get to it...I'm sure you're all fascinated.

This is my purse.  As you can see it is so full that it cannot even be zipped.  It is a very nice purse, a gift from my mother.  {thanks mom!}  It's quite disgraceful that I run about with it in this state.

We have:

1. Calendar
2. Sketchbook 
3. iPod
4. Pack of Gum
5. Flash Drive
6. Locket  {also a gift from my mother}
7. Plastic fork
8. ID badge for my day job
9. Portable Reusable Bag {this is quite possibly the handiest thing ever!  If you don't have one, I highly recommend you purchase one immediately!}
10. Glasses.  {Yes, I have granny glasses.  That's what happens when you stare at a computer screen in low light all day.}
11. Bunch of random make-up.  Mascara {which I've been meaning to put in the bathroom for ages, because it's in my purse and I forget to put it on and look like a bum all day}, Concealer {same deal as mascara}, 3 tubes of lipstick {which is interesting, because I never wear lipstick},  2 lip glosses.
12. Eye drops
13. 2 tampons and a panty liner.  {hey, I'm keepin' it real folks.}
14. Bandaid
15. Customs form from USPS
16. 2 zinc lozenges and 1 dose of Dayquil  {from my cold in November...I told you I haven't cleaned out the purse in a while!} 
17. $4.04
18. Gold envelope from a valentine I received.  No valentine, just the envelope.  {?}
19. 2 paper clips
20. Outlining pen
21. Wallet  {again, a gift from my mother.  she's looking real good right about now!}
22. Trash consisting of 1 receipt, 3 lists, a gum wrapper and a straw wrapper.

Noticeably absent are my phone, keys and the food log that I always carry.  They weren't in there when I grabbed the purse, but usually are.  

Seriously, this is way too much stuff for one gal to be lugging around!  I will have you know that I've narrowed it down to only the necessities,  which is way less stuff.  Like probably only 18 things instead of 24!  ha!  

Do you lug a bunch of stuff around with you?  

I just can't help it.  I use almost all of that, and really the calendar and sketchbook are only in there on days I go to work.  I'm a packrat, what can I say?
