On my birth board one of my friends talked about what she found in her purse now that she is a mom. It started my gears to spinning. How what I carry around with me has changed over the course of my life. When I was really little I carried anything flashy and it had my treasures whatever they may be, my current book, a rock, feather, or play jewelry. Jump to high school and I no longer carried a purse at all. If it didn’t fit into my pocket then it didn’t go with me. All I needed was some money, an ID and some chap stick. Then I was off to college. Still no handbag now it was a backpack. A plain Jane bag with tons of pockets that I would clip on my geek cred. Inside were my text books, pens, pencils, paper, and snacks to keep me through my classes.
After I was married I bought a very small handbag. You know because I was a grownup. It carried things like lipstick, debit cards, and Kleenex. Sometimes it might have a receipt. We lived in the city because I was in medical school. We didn’t have any kids. I didn’t need much. It represented where I was in my life.
My handbag now is HUGE. It holds my stuff, Boy Deere’s and sometimes Daddy Deere’s stuff. Here is a rundown.
· 2 check books- one for personal and one for the farm
· My wallet : licensce, insurance card, credit card, some cash, free popcorn certificates, farm bureau card (I don’t know why), star bucks card (for when we do go to the city), and most importantly my library card.
· Make up lots that I haven’t worn in a month
· Tea bags
· 10 pens
· itouch
· Thing to clean itouch
· Badger sunscreen
· Eye drops
· Emergency haying permit
· Head phones
· Note book
· List of books I want to buy Boy Deere
· Sunglasses not broken
· Broken pair of sunglasses
· Tide Pen
· Medication
· Keys with period table key chain
· Change
· 3 types of chap stick
· Cell Phone
· Homemade Trail mix spilled in the bottom (yuck)
· 2T dinosaur underwear
· Little People
· Play Doh
· Fencing Pliers
I think my handbag screams geeky mom and rancher. I think it is also gasping for breath because it needs to be cleaned. I assure you I did. Do you think if someone looked into your bag they could tell a lot about you?
