My Portable Life: My Purse

Mama’s Losin’ It

I am always on the go, and my purse is my life line. There isn't much space, so I need to pick what goes in there pretty selectively. What makes the cut is pretty telling of who I am.

1) Wallet: White, Basic, and Overstuffed. Much like me
2) Lotion and perfume: I like smelling good
3) Headphones and my IPOD: love my music
4) Biotin (to make my hair grow faster), B-12 (energy), diet pills (duh), and birth control(sadly not so much for contraception these days) AKA: My morning cocktail.
5) Mucienex and Flonase: Yay allergy season!
6) Sunglasses: For my bat like light sensitivity
7) Glasses: For my craptastic night vision and tired days
8) Tanning glasses: for when I tan (and I need to start again soon)
9) Excedrin Migraine: The only thing that even puts a dent in the pain in my shoulder/back. Well aside from a person being here to help me work out some of the tension in the knot.
10)cough drops and mints: you never know when it will come in handy
11) Cellphone charger: My phone is my connection to everyone. It is on 24/7 just in case something happens to Dad. I used to shut off the ringer at night, but that just isn't a reality anymore. My battery cannot be dead, so a charger (USB cord and a wall plug with a USB port) are always on me.
12) hairbrush and hair ties: because you never know when you will need a hair adjustment.

I usually have my camera on me, but the batteries are dead. I love having it with me because you never know when you will find a great picture.

That means: I am a plain, boring, over stuffed, girly girl who loves her music, has night blindness, is light sensitive, needs to tan, on a diet, single, girl with allergy issues, an addiction to her cellphone, and unruly hair.

Yeah. That sounds about right.

My phone is my lifeline too so I understand needing to carry around a charger.

Hi, visiting from Mama Kats. Funny how our purses indicate who we are... Mine is stuffed full of old recipts, notes and expired credit cards. It kind of says that I'm scatterbrained and disorganized, but yeah, that's me!

I love that your camera is in your purse! That's a great habit to have - it says a lot, too!

This "purse" prompt is cracking me up! My purse is a wristlet - simple, trim, containing the essentials & clipped to my keys.

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?
