What's in the Bag?

I took this idea from a blog I read because I thought it was neat.  Sorry if it's a little too personal for you (you don't have to read this), but I'm giving you a look into my purse. The one sacred thing many women would be caught yelling, "What are you doing?! Get out of there!" if someone came to close or heaven forbid, was already in, but not today.  Today I'm going to let you into my bag:)


Pictured above is my precious Coach purse that I so graciously received from my husband on Valentine's Day this year.  While there are many other name brands that have even higher priced purses than this, it should still be considered a crime to spend so much on a bag. My god!  I get sick sometimes thinking about how many diapers and formula this purse could have bought us!  Quickly after that I remember that every girl deserves a nice gift once in a while;)  If you look closely, you can see the clear clip that's attached to the left strap. That clip is my cat, Hermes' favorite toy, oddly enough. I learned this shortly after I bought a pack of them a year ago. The little mister (as we like to call him) goes bananas for these clips! As soon as he hears one of them he comes sprinting up the stairs to see how quickly he can "talk" me into giving it to him. I am holding onto this one for myself since he's managed to lose the other 9!


I laugh as soon as I realize the first thing I am pulling out of my purse is this raggedy wallet that I got 5+ years ago.  This was gift from my grandma for Christmas one year when these items were a "big thing" at the time.  As you can see, it is torn and I think it's a perfect time to ask for a matching Coach wallet to replace this loved, but worn piece.  On top of the wallet is a gift card to Victoria's Secret that I received a year ago in March at my bachelorette party. I was pregnant at the time and the last thing I wanted to do was go out and buy underwear that would be two sizes too big a year later:) I'm still trying to shed a few pounds, so I think I'll hold onto this a while longer before I go shopping.



I'm fighting the urge to itch my watery eyes as I type what I'm looking at. It's allergy season, and boy do I have them! Thank goodness for Loratadine because if it wasn't for this stuff I wouldn't be able to survive the day.  I also carry vitamins in my purse. David thinks it's extremely important to take these, but I tend to forget.


While it's not my usual choice of gum, I always keep gum in my purse-anyone who knows me, knows that.  I try to keep some cover up or bronzer in case I need a touch up, and lip gloss because well, who wouldn't look better with a little lip gloss?  Floss is a must have, and the goggles are for the uv rays.



The goofy yellow thing is a pen from my place of work, and the keys are a must have-must have to sign in at the gym and must have to get whereever it is that I'm going.  The little tube of toothpaste doesn't really get me anywhere if I don't have a toothbrush, so I'm going to blame that on the fact that I was just at the dentist last week, oh, and no cavitites:) haha.

Well, there it is! My personal space invaded by all of you with my permission of course:) I hope you've enjoyed going through my bag.  What's something you can't live without?

Writing Prompt #1

I stole this idea off of my friend's blog (thanks, Karah). Prompt: Current Photo, Introduce, 15 Interesting Facts Current Photo:  This photo was taken at Piramida in Waterloo. We were out for a friend's birthday. Pictured from left to right: Melissa, Jess, myself and Heather. Introduce:  I'm a 27 year old from Dike, Iowa. I reside in Waterloo with my daughter and husband. I work in Waterloo at one of the Deere facilities in Supply Management. In my spare time I enjoy your standard activities: hanging with family and friends.  I love to entertain, and I'd consider myself a foodie because I have a great deal of interest in food: I like to make it, eat it, serve it, entertain with it, and so on and so forth. I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, traveling and going to see as many shows centered around comedy as I can. 15 Interesting Facts:   I can't promise these will be interesting, so lets call this interesting or strange, and hopefully you will...

Days 5-8

Day 5 (Thursday): Woo hoo! Half way there J I wish I could say this has been easy as pie, but then there I am again, thinking about pie. I will need to go on a no fruit diet after this cleanse because I’m so tired of fruit. I keep telling myself it’s what’s good for my body. Day 6 (Friday): I didn’t write much yesterday because I had a lot going on (more to come on that in a future post), but I did almost crack last night. I was crabby and hungry and I came home to David making a pizza.   The last thing I wanted was fish and veggies, but I sucked it up and made some tilapia- not the greatest thing in the world, so I think I’ll stick with cod- it was delicious the last two nights I made it. Today and the rest of the weekend are going to be tough. Weekends are tough anyways, what with all the opportunities to drink and eat food, bad food , late at night. Why is it that I can’t go a day without getting a headache? This is getting old. I’m crabby, so you’ll have to excuse the attitu...

Short Hair, Don't Care

Just a quick post on a BIG change I made last month on a whim. I chopped off all of my hair. Something I've been talking and thinking about for a few years. My mom finally got the courage to do it after much persuasion. Enjoy the below before & after pics.
