The other day I was wondering why my handbag was so heavy and threatening to break my arm and dislocate my shoulder. So I emptied the contents onto the kitchen table.
Everyone lugs around eight pens and a fork, right? That thing on the right is NOT a fork, its’ a back scratcher with a collapsible telescopic handle that I apparently decided one day I should never leave home without. And I need two flashlights because….you never know when you might need two flashlights.
I’ve since lightened the load considerably. And don’t worry, I threw away the gum. Ewwww.
This has been kind of like baring my soul. Hope it didn’t ruin your Saturday.

Hi,
Isn’t it amazing what we throw in our bags and then pretty much straight away forget about it. 🙂

LOL!!! I love the backscratcher. I want one. I NEED ONE.
I recently was weighed at the doctor. I was under the weather and my mind was totally blown when I was the numbers on the scale. How could I possibly weigh as much as I did when I was pregnant? Yikes.
I got home and weighed myself again. Eight pounds less.
That’s when I realized. I was holding my purse at the doctor’s office.
I should probably reorganize like you did!

HAHA! That’s hilarious! I think clothes and shoes weigh at least 8 pounds too. 🙂

Way too funny! A collapsible back scratcher — gonna have to get me one of those. Seriously, though, I deliberately went to buying a smaller purse because I had exactly the same problem.

I’ve got to do this soon. My purse is a diaper-bag-hybrid and therefore becomes a catch all for life.
