What?! You don't think I carry all that with me at all times?! Aren't you prepared for everything? You caught me. I'm not really prepared for anything. This is what my purse really has in it:

...if I keep it, I can use it again this week

...as soon as I throw it away, I'll find what it goes to

6. The little strip with holes in it from the side of my bank receipt
...what is that called?

7. A wallet
...it s being utilized so efficiently, wouldn't you say?

8. Some coupons to the craft store
...only two of them were expired!

9. Some loose candy hearts
...not even the kids will eat the Brach's ones...the bag fell apart some time ago

10. A half-eaten bag of Sour Patch Kids
...they are not in the picture because Emma got to them before I snapped the picture

Now you know the truth. I just hope nobody Car Tags me....
