I know that in the beginning I said that this whole blogger thing "feels like my purse has been stolen" and that this is so . . . so unnerving. . .that I am putting this stuff out there. . . I feel so naked!
But, I have a confession to make: I USUALLY DO NOT CARRY A PURSE AROUND.
Well, I do. . .but only sometimes.
I am not a purse-carrying-gal. Never liked to, and still don't like to. I will if I have to, but prefer not. (In fact, on the few rare occasions when I do have a purse with me, I am more likely to leave it behind!!! If you don't normally take a purse places, and then you do, well, you're more likely to forget about it. . . so THAT is also annoying to me).
I'm a "pocket" girl. Love Pockets! Pockets on pants, coats, shirts, sweaters, . . . that's where I keep my "purse" stuff.

Ok, so we've had a touch of bad weather lately, and everyone is in a bad mood. . . let me spend a few minutes on carrying a purse in bad weather. . .
MOST women have a purse that can be carried on the shoulder. . .and if you don't, and have one of those with just a little strap. . the kind you have to carry on your hand, then you are an Idiot!!!
See? The "touch of bad weather lately" has gotten to me, too. Seriously.
WHY in the world would you carry around a purse that you have to hold in your hand? I mean, don't MOST people need their hands to "do" other things (while carrying a purse?)
Before I get off on that rant, I need to get back to the "touch of bad weather" and how that ties into a purse. . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . .. . . .. how to say this. . . . .. . .
Ok, the winter coat never seems to hold the purse strap on the shoulder, so it falls off the shoulder, and then the purse smacks you in the hip, and goes to the front of your body, and it bangs against your knee, and then you kick the purse out in front of you. And beware the purse that is open. . .(ladies, you know who I'm talkin' bout here). . . Stuff Everywhere!
Worse yet, the purse starts to fall off the shoulder, you step on a sheet of ice, and before you know it, you AND the purse are strewn on the ground. . . Stuff Everywhere. . . !!!!
I can't wait until the bad weather is over. . . .

Let me spend some time talking about men's wallets. . . trust me, this will be short.
I don't look in men's wallets, and I don't ask what is in there.
I've seen very large wallets that have WAY too much stuff in there. . and that is a real turn-off.
I've seen average sized wallets with just the right amount of stuff in there . . and that is nice.
I once dated someone who had an averaged size wallet, but when he opened it, there was NEVER any money in it! No bills! EVER!!!
Here's my question: If you wallet rarely has any money in it, why do you keep opening it? Do you think someone will slip money into your back pocket, into your wallet? What, and you won't FEEL THAT?
C'mon, no money, is no money, is no money.

Wednesday, January 21 - Let me spend a moment on purses when the owner is "sick." I don't know about you, but my purse has little, if no extra room for anything else. . .
When I am sick, and I need to carry around stuff to make me not feel sick, that takes up extra room in my purse. . .and sometimes, just sometimes, I've seen others who WANT others to know they are sick. . .
In this instance, the medicines are carried outside of the purse, and promptly placed IN PLAIN SITE OF EVERYONE ELSE ON THEIR DESK. This screams "I AM SICK!!!" to everyone around them. . .
But back to the purse. . .
Ok, cough drops can fit in the purse, but that's about it.
Cough medicine, prescription medicines often cannot fit in the purse.
So, the prescription medicine pills get put into the aspirin/migraine/muscle relaxant pill bottle. . .
and
sure enough,
they get "lost" in the bottle for some future date when, looking into the bottle, you can no longer remember what the heck that pill is. . .
Right?

Ok, so how many purses should we have?
This. . . this. . . is a tough question. And before I answer that. . .let me remind you [men AND women] of a few "Basic Purse Facts":
1. We can only use ONE purse at a time
2. A purse is the holder of 'things,' that's all it is.
3. The size of the purse may, or may not, be affected by the event it is being taken to. . . although in many cases, the size of the purse does matter.
4. Some people do not follow Fact #3.
5. There some items that are ALWAYS carried in a purse, no matter what.
6. There are usually some items that do not NEED to be carried in a purse, no matter what.
7. There is usually not enough room in our purse to carry something for you.
8. If we forget our purse somewhere. . .don't even think about it. . .WE ARE GOING BACK FOR IT. PERIOD.
9. Does the purse have to match the shoes? . . .the jury is out on this one. . unless you're going somewhere "special." And that, then entails "Special Purse Facts" which are completely different from "Basic Purse Facts."
10. And what are Nine facts without a 10th one?
So, how many purses should we have? At least one for every fact! A minimum of 10 purses!!!

Wednesday, January 14, 2009 - I realize that I need to spend a little more time on the contents of purses. . . and you females know what I'm talking about. . .the stuff, er, the junk that's in there. . . old cleanex; really-old-gum-in-sticks-that-is-disgusting-looking; pennies, nickels, and a few quarters, along with a few foreign coins (how did THAT get in there?!?). And before I forget, how about the pill bottle that you keep in your purse. . .the one that has a few pills for everything imaginable [migraine, headache, sinus infection, bladder infection, and muscle relaxant]. . that for some reason, all look the same now. . and you can't remember what the migraine pill looks like. . .and so, you often hesitate to give anyone else a pill, because you are secretly afraid that you will give them the wrong pill. . . [yeah, you know what I'm talking about!]. Here's my question: WHY, OR MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOW DOES THAT BOTTLE ALWAYS OPEN UP IN YOUR PURSE? HOW?? I mean, c'mon! It has one of those safety lids, the kind that has to be pushed down while you turn it!!!. . how the heck did that thing open!!??? . . . dental floss, hand lotion, face powder, and, in my case (er, I mean purse). . . I have, like, 9 lipsticks. . . .
Ladies, I know you're smiling at this. . .
More later. . .

Monday, January 12. 2009 - Ok, so someone actually "read" my stuff? I had TWO comments! To think that two people actually read my notes. . .! I am amazed!
I don't really think I have anything interesting to say!
Seriously.
[And for those of you who can read "Webdings" font, here it is]:
