spill the purse (bag)

A while ago I was tagged to spill the purse. So, I took the pictures and promptly discovered that the camera cord had slithered away into the world where all lost things go. We mourned it's loss.

But then! That little black camera cord decided to venture back into our world. It must have really missed us. And so, a belated spill the purse.

To be honest, I don't really like the word purse. It's like how my sisters hate the word moist or pamphlet. So, when people talk about purses, I generally tend to change the word to bag in my mind. So, here is my bag.

I got it in Arizona over Christmas.
It came with a white bow on one of the straps.
I took that off.

It's a pretty common bag seeing as I got it at Target [plug for Target] but I really liked the little round trees and their skinny white trunks. And besides, I like trees.

And here are the contents of my bag.
Well, that is: here are the contents of my bag last March.
They include the journal I got for Christmas from my older brother, a few paycheck envelopes, (They told me I'd have direct deposit, however, for the several months that I worked there, that magical deposit thing never happened) A Tale of Two Cities which I have long since finished and loved, a small notebook with the grocery list, my hand-me-down Eagle Creek wallet from my sister who has one that looks pretty similar, my check book, my homemade day planner, my glasses, some C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries Cinnamint Mentha lip shine which was given to me as a gift and that I really like, the Shuffle (we caved and are now ipod people) we purchased for ourselves for exercising but which I used to keep focused at work, and a penny that I probably picked up for good luck; it's a shiny one.

Whew! That is quite a bit of stuff!

So there we have it...

Your bag is quite clean, organized, and filled with neat stuff. I am a fan of your bag too. And all of your notebooks are pretty cool too.

It's so cute how you still insist on that purse of yours to be a "wallet". Funny too that you carry a purse within a purse and yet claim a "wallet" within a "bag". Oh Joey, how you jest!

"Moist" and "purse" I can understand, but how can anyone hate the word "pamphlet?"

That bag is totally "Jo." Love it. And you should know that really isn't much that you keep in your bag there.

Mine is full of all sorts of really small things...like 2 pens (I guess I carry an extra in case Mike tries to steal it), an original flavor Chapstick and two lip glosses (again, in case Mike steals one), a hair elastic (apparently in case my hair decides to suddenly grow four inches and work as a ponytail)...and also some gum and probably some wrappers or receipts. I'd rather not actually dig through it. Too many small things.

I don't think anyone else could have made a blog about their purse/bag so interesting. I was enthralled the whole time. It even had pictures! Woot!
