Gratuitous, Unrelated Post

So, if you've ever read the magazine Us Weekly, you've read the portion where stars show us what's in their bag [purse].  Recently at work, we've decided to get rid of the celebrities and divulge what's in our own bags.  Below details what I found when I went digging through my daily tote.


Disclaimer:  What's shown below in my bag is a bit edited.  What you don't see are the various pieces of mail that are stashed away since I typically pick up my mail as I'm on my way into or out of the house, which results in stuffing it into my bag.


That said, there is no shortage of [random] things in my bag.  In a recent excursion to Boston, I found this brand new Kate Spade tote in a secondhand store.  SUCH. A. FIND!!  It holds everything, including my laptop and makes for a perfect bag.  Inside I keep an over-sized clutch that holds my wallet, keys, sunglasses, a Neutrogena tinted lip gloss and a nude nail polish (because you just never know...)  Now is probably the time to admit that during this process, I found my bag to be embarrassingly full of things that should never be in someone's bag.  Enter exhibit A:  an industrial exact-o knife.  For my anniversary with my boyfriend, I decided to make a frame of two people cut out of the maps (also in my bag) that represent our home states - Pennsylvania and New Jersey.  Thank you, Pinterest.  However, our anniversary was September 1st and I'm still carrying it in my bag.....unfinished.  Maybe next year.    Face wipes - every runners necessity, allergy medicine, a notebook, a perfect travel sized pen and an umbrella round out the necessities in my bag.  Due to the recent Back on My Feet Annual Bash, I'm still carrying around about 100 invitations to that, too.  And, because you never know when you need a Quotable Card, I'm equipped with that as well. 

This was such a fun and quite interesting exercise!  Now I'm off to the doctor because my shoulder hurts from carrying this nonsense everywhere!!
