Guess what’s in Lisa’s purse
What’s in Lisa’s cheap but cute little bag? Well, wait and I’ll give you a minute by minute account, right as I’m pulling the junk out. Really exciting, huh? (This will also explain why I don’t own any expensive purses.)
*A 3-day old hamburger from McDonald’s that has fallen out of the wrapper. (I keep my purse in the car and its been cold. The entire sandwich is as hard as a hockey puck.
*Pickle from said burger (now stuck to bottom of purse).
*7-year-old cell phone that won’t turn on anymore. (I need a new phone, yes?)
*Wallet with two one-dollar bills shoved into it. And about $20 in coins.
*Approximately 500 receipts from various grocery stores, Target, and Walgreens. Most dating back to some time in ‘05.
*Small clear bag given to me by the vet during Abbeydog’s check-up in March of ‘05. I was supposed to put poop into the bag so they could test for worms. (Abbey’s poop — not mine or the boy’s. Although, I’m thinking maybe I should have the poop of both critters tested. Because with little boys you never know…)
*A hard candy that Seth put in his mouth and then spit into my purse while I must not have been looking. Apparently the dog sat on my purse at some point because there’s dog hair stuck to the candy.
*A lipstick I never use that’s stuck to the piece of doghaired-candy.
*A few receipts from our recent ski trip, stuck to the doghaired-candy.
*Three coupons for stuff I never buy and will never buy, stuck to the doghaired-candy.
*Crack pipe.
*Three small rocks. Maybe Seth’s way of saying that someday when he’s a brilliant doctor, businessman or male-stripper (I don’t care what he does — as long as he has a passion for his job and makes enough money to move out of our house), he plans on buying his mama a REAL nice rock?
*Hershey’s candy bar (in case of emotional emergencies).
Oh, the crackpipe was put in there just to see if you were paying attention. Its not really mine. Its my mom’s.
KIDDING!

I am always amazed at the things I find in my purse. I must say I have never found a hamburger or crackpipe…hehe.

Our bags are a mind field of stuff.When I recently cleaned mine I found the expensive watch band I was searching for over a year with its purchase receipt which I thought I`d left at the shop on it`s counter.

Why I will never, ever voluntarily explor what’s in a woman’s purse.
It’s dangerous.

Explore even…

I know the hamburger is really gross. Here’s the deal… Seth decided he was hungry after going to Little Gym one day. I took him through the drive-thru at McDonald’s because we didn’t have enough time to go home for a real meal. He got the hamburger and then decided he was no longer hungry. I wrapped it up and put it in my purse. I forgot about the burger — the last few days I’ve just been taking my wallet with me into stores.
I’m not a serious, serious slob. Just a bit of one. heehee

Hysterical! (and I’m not just saying that because it’s Say Something Nice Day at Mom101)
The McD’s bit reminds of me of being a kid and hating McDonalds burgers (why I stayed skinny in my youth I guess). My parents would buy them for us and we’d eat the fries and bury the burgers under the seat cushions of the car. Guess what started smelling in a few days?
Thanks for delurking and the nice words on my site. You’re welcome back any time, lurker or not.

If you are telling the truth (sans the crack pipe), I am in awe.
My purse only have about 11 tubes of lipstick or gloss. And one small wallet.
(I’m not kidding…there are 11. You can count them if you don’t believe me!)

So I guess I’m normal! I always thought the state of my purse was shameful. Now I know there are others like me.
(I have yet to have hamburger in mine. Grayson is only 5 mos old, though. I guess that day will come:))

If you take away the hamburger and add the latest book I’m reading, we’re pretty identical.
And we should both be ashamed of ourselves!

I am SO glad I’m not the only one. I just dumped a ton of goldfish crumbs out of the bottom of mine.

HAHAHA, that’s funny. I did find a crackpipe in my car after it was stolen and recovered. I think I will post about that sometime soon. You’ve inspired me
