A look into the unknown

Many women will tell you, including me, you don't go digging in a woman's purse. It's holy ground and not to be tampered with.

So the mystery that abounds is what is so precious that's carried in a purse?

Well, my friends at Flickr have a fun photo pool going on with the theme - what is it we carry. For men, it's what's in their pockets. For women, it's the contents of their purses.

So, I thought I'd share a small peek into my personal space and show what it is that's in my purse today.

What is all that?

Well beginning at top left and moving down: my ultra swanky gel pen that was a freebie, five different kinds of lipgloss/chapstick, nail glue (red lid), allergy medicine, Visine (for contacts), hand lotion, cherry lifesavers, scraps of paper and receipts, small white tube of Advil and/or Aleve, my fancy business card hold (a gift from my sweetheart) and my must-have bottle of Purell.

In the middle is: Tide pen, wallet - complete with ID, cash, cards, etc., checkbook, and Mary Kay bag filled with yet even more lip gooey goodness, pressed powder, nail clipper, etc.

And to the right it a hair clip, keys (4 keys, one clicker and a wad of those VIP customer thingies), my Motorola Razr and its matching Bluetooth.

So there. Now you've seen inside my little life.

What is it you carry with you?
