recently i had to have proof of my social security card…like, the physical card. wait, i got it. it’s in my wallet. no, i switched wallets. it’s in my other one; the little pink one. now, to figure out which purse i was carrying when i got "new" wallet.
i have a front closet that i put my purses in…whew. but, wait, i have some hanging in the bedroom too…aaand there’s a couple in the spare bedroom.
let the digging begin. last bag i used, big ole bag, must be in there somewhere…nope, on to the one before that…i remember exactly, the seasons had just changed & i felt like double flaps with a retro inspired strap. crappers…no dice!
*let me just interject really quick…i may look put together (or not) on the outside, but seriously, i’m a disaster. *my name is ash & i am a hot mess! there, i confess. & i can’t ever find anything, especially if i need it. ridiculously unorganized. i admire those who are super simplistic, in that they own just a few necessities. wait, do i know these people? but i digress…
purses, handbags, satchels…one after another & no luck; & i must’ve been through 9 or more. but, i did find some pretty interesting things. you see, when i change bags, i only take out the things i use/need that day…wallet, glasses, burt’s bees, paperback. the rest of the crap is left in there. does anyone else do this? please say “yes…of course, it’s in the lady handbook!”
so amidst the hunt for this important legal document that i am in dire need of, here is a list of the truly awesome stuff that i DID find…true story.
· 7 tampons
· mints
· misshapened chocolates…what a waste
· 4 gift cards that need balances (if any) checked
· “lost” sunglasses
· passport…yay (i knew it was in there…ha)
· birthday card…christmas card…card i meant to mail (whoops)
· note pad
· 12 or so pens
· lip smackers (grape)…lip gloss…lipstick holder
· pirate eye patch
· stickers/tattoos
· nursing shield (i guess i went way back!)
· bonus card
· 5 bazillion receipts
· pay stubs
· 34 cent stamp
· cheerios AND teddy grahams…loose, mind you
· empty baby wipe container
· expired coupons
· rabies tag/certificate
· burp cloth
· half empty packs of gum (one per bag, it seemed)
· 2007 day planner. never used…any takers?
boo hoo, no social security card. & all that work. i’m not worried, my license/birth certificate/passport filled the void. i’m legit. & i’ll find that stupid card in a week or so when the moment has passed.
*i have to laugh though because of my buddy, mark p, who writes a hilarious blog…whatwhitechickscherish.blogspot.com. i’m sure he would appreciate the “big ass bag” madness. he predicts this sort of thing...hmm, esp?
& also, if you’re wondering, did i find this opportunity to throw out these totally random finds? um, no…i was too involved with the issue at hand! besides, i’ll clean all that stuff later…when i want to use the bag again. just kidding, i at least tossed the cookies (no pun, intended), the candy, & makeup-y, old grossness. papers & such remain. c’est la vie!

My favorite item is the grape lip gloss! That takes me back to 7th grade!
