I'm obsessed with Vera Bradley purses and have one for almost every day of the week. I've also noticed that age is directly proportional to purse size: the older I get, the bigger my purse gets!
In my purse at the moment:
Altiods mints
Altoids gum
Clinique lipstick
Compact
Maybelline coverstick
Vera Bradley sherbet-print wallet
Glasses/contact lens case
Tweezers (I have good light for tweezing in my office
)
Work and personal cell phones
Work nametag (boss is out today, so I don't have to wear it!)

Blistez Lip Revitalizer
Clinique Happy perfume (the thin, roll-on kind)
WalMart and Kroger receipts
(Ryan, sheild your eyes!) And I always keep a couple tampons in each purse

I have a huge love of this thread!! I love purses!

I have a pink XOXO purse with matching wallet that I use as a checkbook.
Ok...in my purse:

Sunglasses

Liz Claiborne wallet with my license, my credit card, my checkcard, money, and insurance cards, and all kinds of other cards.

A planner that I keep appointments in and everything else important!!

Car keys

Cell phone

Visine for contact lenses

Finger nail clippers and a file

and a pack of tropical twist trident.

And thats it! I couldnt fill up a huge purse even if I wanted to! When I go on trips, I upgrade, so I can fit a book and a magazine in there, but thats it. Pretty funny, huh?

LOL! Only because it's full of dirty dishes! Just kidding, but the sad thing is, I just cleaned it out a couple of days ago! I usually have some kind of snack crackers in it, and one of my blood glucose meters in it too.....and when I cleaned it out, I had a clean shirt in it too!!

At the kitty's beck and call
I carry a tiny handbag because I'm so used to filling the big ones with junk. It measures 5 inches v 4 inches.

In it I carry

I'm like Beth -- I gave up big bags because they just attract junk.
now I carry a small bag, which contains...

Change purse
Comb
Lypsyl
Rolaids
Fisherman's Friend
A few assorted receipts
Three sets of keys (office, home, car)
Cell phone

Credit Cards/Drivers Licence, folding money etc live in the wallet that holds my Palm, which lives in my pocket (it's my mind, you see
). Whenever possible, I carry only that and put phone and whatever keys I need in another pocket, and leave the purse at home.

Good God people!! This is hysterical!
We are all such hoarders aren't we???

I'm having some trouble with gun permit thingy though...are you SERIOUS??? That is just so surreal and weird to me. The only time I ever carried or fired a gun was when I was in the Army, I just COULDN'T imagine having one to carry round just as a matter of course. Wow I am just staggered!!

I don't usually carry a purse or handbag around, but when I do, it contains makeup, a wallet/money, and my mom's cellphone.
