Not-So-Fashionably Late

Last week, MotherBumper emptied her bag and showed us all what was inside. Then, Her Bad Mother did it. The next thing you know, girls all over the 'sphere were dumping their purses bags onto their beds and couches and dining room tables and baring their innards for all the world to see.

"I am going to do this TODAY!" I exclaimed. "Blog fodder! Fodder that requires no thinking on my part. This, I can do."

That was August 9, y'all.

What can I say--I'm a joiner. A late joiner.

This is my bag:

This is the first bag I've ever carried that wasn't black, except for an occasional brown or tan. It's last season's Nine West procured at one of those close-out dress-for-less stores. Because I'm cheap.

Here are the contents of my bag:



1. Two pairs of sunglasses, almost identical.
2. Take-along cosmetics bag--lipgloss, moisturizer, tweezers, spare mascara.
3. Stray tube of moisturizer. Was promptly returned to appropriate bag.
4. Wallet. I've carried a red wallet for many years. It's easy to find in the black depths of whatever bag it's hiding in.
5. Checkbook in tattered checkbook holder. Yes, we still write checks, but mostly just for Al's daycare tuition.
6. Photos of Al that I need to mail to my dad.
7. 2 ballpoint pens and 1 mechanical pencil.
8. A buck-fiddy.
9. Chocolate.
10. Clorox wipe. You never know.
11. Work ID.
12. Phone. Also red. I guess I like red.
13. Emergency paci.

So, what's hiding in your bag? Let's see it! And shoot my friend a comment so she can add yours to her list.
