Time to scale down

For Christmas I received the most luxuriously beautiful purse in the history of the universe. It is luscious suede the color of butter. Usually I carry a purse and a “bag” that carries all of the stuff I can’t fit in my purse. Essentially, I carry 2 purses. The new bag is big enough for everything.

I have had the bag for 4 days and already it feels like I’ve lived there forever. Ladies and gentleman, the contents of my purse:

1. 8 CDs: Air, Zero 7, Ivy, James Taylor’s Greatest Hits Vol. 2, 2 CDs with pictures and 2 blank
2. cell phone
3. 1 digital camera and 2 digital camera cases (please note that camera is not in either case)
4. 2 boxes of cookies that CV sent me from Japan
5. iPod
6. 1 tin of Altoids (sour apple)
7. 1 checkbook
8. random cables (I have no idea what they are for)
9. 1 flash drive (no idea what is on it…….possibly porn?)
10. 3 sets of keys
11. 4 lip liners (all the same color), 1 lipstick, 4 chapsticks, 1 Carmex and 1 lip glass. I don’t wear any of this and I have no idea why I carry it.
12. $4.87 in change……all hanging out in the bottom of the bag (Have I mentioned that I have only owned this bag for 4 days? Also, I suspect that the $4.87 may be all the money I have)
13. 1 wristlet (lets not even talk about what is hanging out in there)
14. 1 watch that needs to be taken to the jeweler for a new battery
15. 3 hair clips and 3 ouchless rubber bands
16. 1 envelope full of pictures of Mr. Little Man that I need to send to my parents.
17. 1 pair of glasses, 1 case for said glasses (please note glasses are not in case)
18. 1 framed picture of my mother with her siblings and father circa 1961

This list establishes that I did not, in fact, need a new super luscious big ass suede bag. I needed to get rid of all of the crap that I do not use on a daily basis and maybe put a few pens in there since I never have anything to write with.
