Apparently the word “DUMP” is an on going theme for this years 7 posts in 7 days…this secretly frightens me for what the next 5 days may bring. I’m linking up today with Kendra @ Catholic All Year‘s PURSE DUMP challenge…yeah my purse was UGLY and I don’t even have kids!! My purse definitely needed to be cleaned out and when I saw Kendra’s link-up I thought kill 2 birds with 1 stone…clean out my purse and write a blog post! I’ve written about it before I’M not as perfect and not as organized as I wish I was..and lately I’ve been an unorganized MESS! Well it’s going around and landed in my purse….here is what I found:
LOTS OF MEDICINES:
- EXCEDRIN – EXTRA STRENGTH
- CVS All Day Pain Relief
- PUBLIX Extra Strength Pain Relief (I have no idea why I have 3 forms of aspirin…probably why no one else can find any..probably got buried at the bottom of my purse at some point)
- Nasal Spray
- Generic Claritin (Allergy Medicine)
- Advil Congestion Medicine (did I mention I was sick a few weeks ago?)
- 2 different kinds of Cepacol sore throat drops
LOTS OF SNACKS/FOOD

- Skittles
- Reeses
- Granola Bars

- Appointment cards
- About 10 different shopping, gas, and restaurant receipts
- Girl Products
- Hair clips/bands/nail file
- Umbrella (this came with my purse but it always gets so buried to the bottom when it actually rains it’s nowhere to be found)
- TRASH…tons of TRASH….gum wrappers and most of the receipts ended up being trash
- A BROKEN PEN (because you know that is very useful)
- 7 pens, a pencil and a pink highlighter

THINGS I ACTUALLY NEED

- My iPhone (my iPad Mini is usually in my bag but wasn’t today)
I found a bunch of popcorn in mine that might go well with your salt!

I didn’t even participate in this because I did not want to see what is in my purse yet. I’m not ready to clean it out yet! I’m having so much fun seeing everyone else’s post though!

I love that you listed the salt. I guess I didn’t dump mine out quite enough to find the crumbs that I’m sure lurk within.

Ahhh I love these posts! They make me feel normal. ::)
I didn’t do one of these posts b/c my purse is so boring. I’ve just realized why it is, though: it’s b/c I don’t usually carry a purse—and the basket by my driver’s seat in the VAN looks exactly like your purse… 😉
