Monday, July 14, 2003 What's in my purse? I've seen many movies and sitcoms make fun of woman's purse, which is like magician's box that contain numerous unexpected items. I happen to have one of those boxes. Different from Magicians, I, maybe together with other women, can never grasp the right item I need at the first, or several attempts. Since I decided to carry my new digital camera with me everyday, I decide to organize (in vain) my purse so to give a comfortable room for my new pal. And that's when I come to realize how many things my small purse is capable of holding: my huge wallet with more than 30 cards (credit, bank, shopping, libraries, license, ID, insurance, name cards) my frame glasses case, my sunglasses case, and my contact lens case ( I could not wear contact whole day, I could not recognize any person walking by without glasses, and I will ugly squint my eyes in sunlight without sunglasses) pens (two blueprint, one black print, one pencil, two highlighters) and a rubber eraser planner notebook and address book bottle water (8 fl oz) one lipstick and one lip balm one save pin two bandages one bottle of “tiger balm” (one of those oriental all-purpose lotion) one Star-buck teabag (I always buy two and keep one) one zip disc (so I can work in all computers) two post-its (one bubble pink, one yellow) serveral hair bands (I pull down my hair for good looks, then I have to pull it up for working; and I keep losing them) one candy (maybe a souvenir from a dinning-out long time ago) huge key chains, with 7 keys, 4 shopping cards, and Bin’s picture frame) my cell phone and earphone (I could never reach it every time before it stops ringing! sorry my friends who call me) My awesome purse! My poor purse… I believe most of men have huge pant pockets so they don't carry any bag whenever they go out (going to office may be a little different). However, the stuff in my bag might still need every pocket of a Titan's pants and jacket. So why woman has to bring lots of things with her while Men can sashay around with free hands and sholders? Sense of security? or women are really born fussy? My friend Jennifer, who use to carry something like a sports bag around every day had a very good reason: "God, I don't know what I'm going to need!" I used to laugh, now I realize how true it is. posted by lmeimei @3:56 PM| permanent link| | |
