It isn't a purse...it is a life bag

I do not just have a purse, I have a huge black bag. I carry my life in this bag. I am constantly on the go so this bag carries the day to day items, my lunch and anything else I need stowed through out the day.

Once I am home for the night, the bag is usually pretty "empty." However, it still houses more than most purses do on a regular basis. If you can judge a woman by what she has in her handbag, I wonder what my contents say about me.

Hair brush
I have long hair, so having this with me is a necessary evil.

Lip Gloss: at least 5 varieties
I have everything from Dr Pepper Lip Smackers to MAC to Sephora brands in there. I'm not sure why I keep my whole lip gloss collection in there, but it seems to make sense. I'm rarely seen without it, so having it on me 24/7 works for me

Wallet
It has the money, ID, debit card and other needed items

Can of diet dr pepper
I meant to drink it at work today. However, I just got a little busy and totally spaced that I had it.

Various Granola bars
They were put in there to eat with my yogurt for breakfast, and again I usually got bust and forgot about them.

100 calorie pack of cheetos
I packed it for lunch today and then wasn't hungry. Wow. I sure have a lot of food in here! Swear it is usually just the granola bars.

Flonase, Advil and perscription strength sudafed
My allergies slay me every spring. These items are key to me being able to function on some days.

Bath and Body Works Midnight Pomegranete spray and lotion
It is one of my favorite scents! You never know when you will need a little freshen up.

My checkbook
I'm not sure why I keep this on me. The only check I write regularly is my rent check. Really I should probably keep it at home.

Pens...various
I'm a writer. I always have at least on pen on me. I never know when an idea is going to hit me. It is better to be prepared!

Business Cards
I have a handful of my new business cards on me. You never know when a business opportunity may present itself.

Sunglasses
Spring is here and Summer is right around the corner. I'm light sensitive so sunglasses make my life happier. Most people do not enjoy the sun in their eyes. I'm just a bigger baby about it.

Challenging Your Writing

Blogging is easy for me. In an attempt to start shaking up my writing, I decided to start doing a writing workshop and trying some new writing prompts. Trying to get my blog back up in shape has been harder than I thought it would be. I am feeling like writing again, but I need variety. It has been fun trying new topics. Still, I was always picking the safe ones. This week, the list came to my inbox and the one I was instantly drawn to was of course the easy one. However, there was another prompt that was nagging at me. "What I lack" Here is the deal: I don't want to always write about negative stuff. This would be a negative blog. That wasn't the worst of it. I knew it was a topic I would have a hard time putting into words. I don't want to be misunderstood, but I am just  not sure how to put some of these feelings in words I kept trying to convince myself it wasn't a good idea. I just couldn't shake it. I wrote the blog. It is far from the best thi...

What Does One Wear??

Image
On May 21, I am attending Methodist Theological Seminary of Ohio's Commencement. My mother was a student there, and she would have graduated this May. The college has decided to award her a posthumous degree. This is very kind, and we are honored they have decided to do this. Today I was trying to  figure out my plan for that day, when it occurred to me: What does one wear to accept a degree for their mother (who died nearly a year ago)? Well black doesn't seem fitting (and there goes half my wardrobe) It cannot be too short It cannot be to low cut (there goes most of the rest of my wardrobe). So what are my options? Very obviously this is not going to work: Maybe something like this, but not in Black? This had potential...until I noticed those were skulls not polka dots This has potential Then I was distracted by this (but....it is on sale!!) Okay...more like this? I just don't know...any suggestions?
