Instead of Grocery shopping we Checked out purses for fun

 Since I was finally awake for real and not as fevered as usual after Church we wanted to do something  to make us feel organized.

We have for 20 years had a rule  "a womens Purse is  sacred and her own" . But today we decided to play (Lets see what ya got in your purse )and organize.... and maybe we'll even find money .  OMG  we had so much fun with the ladies I found so many things I thought were gone . the teens would not let us in there purses . So the Moms of the family our of course suspicious . 

We all checked out and traded lipsticks and perfumes and blushes and glosses . We decided to do a trade or switch 1 irem each in purse and to see how much we had in common .  There use to be a time I tried to keep one purse  and pack for everyone . No matter how big the purse it would be bursting at its seams .  When co frontoing we carry three purses to work ,2 inside a back pack .

We had a blast . I highly recommend this on a Sunday afternoon  or night , we collectively collected in pennies $43.00 YAEH !  We discovered most of us love altoids  and cininmin anything and Orbit gum winterfresh , most of us like berry or mauve pink color lipsticks except Toni who loves bright red and corals .  I found a wallet our daughter Sarah made in Camp when she was 11 out of laether and cord with a Twenty in it  in Markey's purse she did not know she had.

We found our purse calanders and put together our schedules .  Tons of Keys to God knows what . Shelby says old cars and old candy bars( we threw away,cause knowbody knows when they were bought )Interesting pills in containers we threw out. Fun  photoes we havent seen in years. What intreaged me the most was all the earrings we found and pins and pieces of paper with phone nimbers on it .  I highly suggest this + the kids loved it the Guys rolled there eyes and felt superior at the ability to leave the house and survive with just a wallet .

 

 Were all going to share the lipsticks and wallets and key chains . Next were moving on to coat pockets for change to see how much money we make. And what we find . I'm still looking for a ring.    Peace Tiea

$43.00 in pennies? @_@ Wow, that almost makes me wish we had a purse. We've carried just a wallet since high school-- that was actually an idea started by the girls then, since they didn't usually wear makeup and didn't like to carry around too much stuff at once (we tend to lose/drop things)-- although we do find interesting old receipts in it for stuff we forgot that we bought. Saving pennies can be useful long-term. We once helped someone sort out a giant basket full of pennies and put them into paper wrappers, and then lug all of it into the bank the next day to deposit. I think we had close to $60 in change counting the nickels and dimes we'd also wrapped. The bank lady was doing her best to be very patient with us.

Weird scary stuff turns up in our backpack. We once found an apparently fossilised candy bar in the bottom of it, as well as half of a donut or cookie or something that someone had left in there after eating part of it, which disintegrated and left a big mess of crumbs. There was also some strange blackish sticky glop once.

There's still some debate about what it was. Some people think it was a piece of gum that someone tried to wrap up after chewing it, and it fell out of its wrapper. Another theory is that it was some kind of lollipop or hard candy that melted. Others think that it had nothing to do with any food item, and probably came from somewhere in R'lyeh.

Damn our backpack and yours must be related. I just cleaned mine out now school is over, I swear it's a portal to another dimension.

We have an issue with one of us that hides food. Got her to agree to not hide anything perishable, but it is strange to reach into the bag for a pen and come back with a tin of apricots
