Just For Fun

Monday, January 09, 2006

  • Chloe decided it would be fun for all of us to share the contents of our bags, right now, this moment, without leaving anything out. I took her up on it because it sounded like exactly the kind of thing I would do anyway, so minus the crumpled kleenex, this is what I found...
  • one summer wallet (I am too lazy to change to a wintery coloured one; this one matches my watermelon summer bag)
  • one brush with hair band wrapped around the end just in case of bad hair day
  • one set of work keys (back into use tomorrow, I'm afraid)
  • two fancy pencils and one wooden pen (yes, you heard me right, I like interesting writing tools)
  • loose change (32 cents to be precise)
  • one CD (with the photos I had sent for the expensive processing)
  • three bandaids with cartoons on them (you never know when a child gets a scab or a mum gets a blister)
  • Canadian passport (I always leave it there so I know where it is the night before I am about to travel somewhere; I had a bad experience once, and learnt my lesson)
  • two small broken candy canes (not mine)
  • a photo of my children (what good mother wouldn't!; well, actually it's there for me to take tomorrow)
  • a lottery scratch ticket worth $2. (I always get some in my stocking; the only time I ever play the lottery)
  • my (very old, but still working) abused cell phone
  • coupons for diapers and loose receipts for god knows what
  • a pink notebook (in case I have a good though and need to pull over to the side of the road to write it down, or to keep addresses, or one of a thousand lists I make in a day
  • stamps (because I've recently mailed nice things to blog friends)

  • hand cream (because the Canadian winter is harsh on hands)
  • hand sanitizer (slather this on if we go our for dinner right after picking up my son from preschool...)
  • three types of lip gloss; Body Shop cranberry for fancier times, lobello for functionality, and Avon snowman for a nice smell.

Go ahead, call me a loser.

Pretty boring, I wish I had some great secret hidden in there. What's in your bag?

    Note to self;
    Maybe if I stay up all night and don't go to sleep, tomorrow will never come.

    My wallet, my house key, my sunglasses and a tube of lip balm. that is it.

  1. Blogger Jase said:

    Hmmm... a girlies only challenge and so far no embarassing, worthy of snigger items, I wait with baited breath.

  1. Blogger JM said:

    Wow, that's a lot of stuff.

    I carry a chocolate brown messanger bag that I LOVE. But I swear to goodness, I could live for a week out of what I have in that thing. On the up side....I usually have what either of the kids need. lol!

  1. Blogger Meow (aka Connie) said:

    Wow Cathy, that's a heap of stuff. Still thinking about doing mine ... might be a bit embarassing, as I haven't dug around in the depths of it for ages. Who knows what I might find, or how long it's been there !!! Scary stuff !!!

    Did you stop by earlier? I messed with my settings and lost things ...

    Lisa;
    Sorry to hear it blew up in your face; maybe today will be better.

    Anhoni;
    Waiting for someone with something interesting! ;)

    Jase;
    Oh, not just for girlies; what's in your bag? ;)

    Angel;
    Actually, on many days I stuff even more in there...

    MomyBlogR;
    Take a photo!

    Connie;
    I'd love to see yours!

    Meow;
    I thought mine would be scarier that it was; but I didn't show all the kleenex tissue. I am awaiting yours! :)

    Richard;
    I had stopped by earlier and posted (three times I think;) but you had a thing on there theat meant you reviewed comments before they were posted. I just went over and posted now and it worked fine. It is an awful feeling when you've messed something up with your blog. I deleted my entire first one by accident; thus the title of my current blog.

    note to self: my cell phone is also missing.
    I quite like the fact that i am not the only person who has 2-3 different kinds of lip gloss in her bag.
    Your bag is very interesting. Especially the wooden pen. An environmentalist through and through!

  1. Blogger missbhavens said:

    Oh, the insides of my bag are pretty boring...BUT there's so much stuff in there it could be a blog unto itself!
