Take a look inside… mah BAG (Blog Challenge Day 8)

Why, hello there. What’s a nice insert-gender-here like you doing in a place like this?

It’s Day 8 of the 31 day blog challenge, which brings us to…

“What’s in your handbag”

Dude, what isn’t in my handbag? I don’t have a handbag, I have a life-support system with a shoulder strap, heavy enough to knock out a gorilla if I swing it hard enough. Don’t ask how I know that.

Don’t take my word for it. A picture, and a no-particular-order list (let me know if I missed anything):

• make-up bag
• wallet
• kobo and case
• baby dragon notebook (I take my squid notebook if I need something larger)
• pens
• kleenex
• visine
• stash of band-aids (this one’s My Little Pony)
• business cards
• Advil
• spare earrings
• sea bands (for car-sickness, mine or my son’s)
• dental floss
• wet nap (not a condom)
• sugar packets
• spoon and coffee stir stick (because sometimes drive-through people forget)
• peanut packets (because they always give me too many)
• cleaning cloth
• ear buds
• tire pressure gauge
• cookies (for hungry child emergencies)
• hand cream
• hair elastic
• lip balms
• spare meds
• my phone is usually in there, too, but it was on photo duty when this was taken

I think that’s all of it. Yes, it’s a lot, but now that the kids are both out of diapers, this plus a juice box or two pretty much has me covered when we go out. My husband makes fun of all of my stuff (and the fact that I can pull pretty much anything out of here, like Mary Poppins’ carpet bag), but he’s never complained when I had something he needed!
