Modern Day Mary-Poppins!


"I'm thinking balls are to men what purses are to women. It's just a little bag, but we feel naked in public without it"
-Carrie Bradshaw

On a good day this is what the inside of my bag looks like.  A good day.  I have to clean it out every other day.  How I accumulate so much junk is beyond me.  There are moments where I believe I am the mother of a three year old with the amount of snacks I find hidden away in the crevices.  The other day I went to take out my wallet and found that there were cookie crumbs stuck to the side.  Cookie crumbs.  Yes.  Gross.  I know.  I know.  How it got there, I haven't the slightest clue.  Obviously it isn't a "little" bag.  The husband always says, here can you carry my keys in your luggage.  Always exaggerating.  During the week my bag truly is almost like luggage, almost.  There isn't a reason I should ever wonder why my left shoulder hurts.  Ever.  The bigger the bag the bigger the obsession.
So, here is what is currently taking space in my black quilted satchel:

My blue wallet purchased at Tj Maxx for $20 bucks.  Such a Maxxinista.  A Bottle of water.  Sometimes two bottles of water when I forget I already have one.  Yeah.  That has happened.  Several times.  Hand sanitizer.  A must.  For like everything.  I even use it to disinfect my cellphone case.  Works like a charm.  Burt's bees "Milk & Honey" lotion.  Usually it is Bath and Body Works "Vanilla Bean Noel".  A Monogrammed note-pad with book mark pens (bought at Barnes & Noble, I don't recommend them, the pens, not the note-pad).  Hair clip (there are actual multiple hair accessories at any given time).  Clinique make-up pouch that carries my Burt's Bees lip balm (I live on chap stick), Stolen Kisses lip gloss by Nars, Schiap lip stick by Nars, and Benefit mascara.  The keys to the office.  BCBG Perfume.  A bag of half-eaten almonds.  A pack of trident.  Cellphone.  And a pair of Ray Bans.

As I said before.  This is on a good day.  On an every day there would probably be a muffin and a bottle of "Naked" juice.  Some receipts and three or four other types of lip stick.  It's like I'm a hoarder for all things bag.

So, tell me.  What is inside your bag?  Do you prefer smaller bags?  Big bags?  No bags?  I'd love to know!
