Karen, I love your posts! Did you get a degree in psychology by any chance?!?!?

Since I recently changed purses, mine is not as "colorful" as it normally is.

Pen

Calendar

Cosmetics pouch -- extra meds, 2 nail clippers, small mirror, lip balm, hand cream, fragrance, eye drops, ToolLogic all in one tool, antacids, hand sanitizer, pain reliever, Turkish currency brought to me by a co-worker from a business trip

Small hairbrush

Big Red chewing gum and empty gum wrappers

Car repair bill (unpaid)

Bank deposit receipts

Several unused restaurant napkins

Key ring

Small notebook (for diet and exercise log)

Volleyball practice and game schedule (for daughter)

Program for son & daughter's music program Tuesday p.m.

As I said, this is a pared down sampling -- normally there would be a lot more PAPER.

Very fun thread!

I have about 50 bags, so which bag I use depends on what I'm wearing. I always empty my bag when I come home. I'd never know where anything was otherwise.
