What's in my purse?

logicbuttonAllow me to dig myself out of the non-updating spiral of shame...with a meme!
-My all-purpose keyring, which, in addition to all my keys, contains keychains shaped like Shigure Sohma, a Wii remote, a red cross (from a blood drive), and Ryuk/an apple/the Death Note logo. There is also a remote keyless entry fob and a couple of empty rings from which Roy Mustang keychains keep escaping.
-Keys to my grandmother's apartment on a spiral cord, so that she doesn't have to come down to the lobby to let me in every time I come over.
-An extra set of car keys.
-A couple of ancient Ricola. I can't imagine actually putting them in my mouth, but I can't bring myself to throw them away.
-Two tiny bottles of expired contact lens drops.
-Generic ibuprofen.
-Dental floss.
-A hairbrush. I cleaned it out before taking the picture. You're welcome.
-A barely-used compact of a type of makeup I don't use anymore.
-A bunch of bandaids.
-A printout of an e-mail to my mom (and about a hundred other people) from a woman we used to work with, who retired and became a massage therapist, about discount massages through her school.
-My reusable coffee sleeve. They've got much cuter ones now, but I'm going to stick with this one, because I'm not going to be the person who owns multiple reusable coffee sleeves.
-My wallet. Contents include normal wallet things: cash, checkbook, driver's license, credit card, a bunch of store rewards cards and insurance cards, probably a bunch of other stuff I've forgotten about.
-Receipts from the following:
Target (x4)
Rainbow (a Twin Cities grocery store chain)
Barnes and Noble
the movie theater
Famous Dave's (a barbecue restaurant chain)
Cafe Latte (a restaurant in St. Paul, x2)
-Ticket stubs to Star Wars in Concert, The Kids Are All Right, and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
-An expired Target rewards card.
-The public transportation card from my trip to Chicago in June. I guess I can throw that away now.
-A pair of earrings that I took off when I went swimming a couple weeks ago and then forgot about.
-My bluetooth earpiece, which I synched to my phone the day I got it and haven't used since.
-Sunglasses.
-My iPod, Hayate. Hayate will be four years old in September, and although his battery life isn't what it used to be, he still works perfectly and is in great physical condition, thanks to the skin I keep him covered with.
-Two sets of earbuds. I used to have a red-and-black set that matched Hayate perfectly, but I managed to wreck them, so I started using the white ones (which I'd been using with my DS) instead. I got the black-and-purple ones so I could put the white ones back with the DS where they belong, but haven't gotten around to doing that just yet.
-Two ballpoint pens: one from some business with a booth at a county fair, and one I stole from work before I left. Stealing my pens was the only humane choice, as I am an incurable pen-chewer. Nobody was going to want to adopt them.
-A highlighter with matching Post-It flags in the barrel. Awesome, right? I got it at my grad school orientation--GAPSA stands for Graduate And Professional Student Association.
-A bottle of body lotion that you would think I couldn't have forgotten about, given how big it is, but I did. The scent is my current Bath and Body Works favorite, Twilight Woods.
-A bottle of Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer in Midnight Pomegranate. I don't really like Midnight Pomegranate all that much, which is for the best, because the scent memory I have associated with it is from when I first moved into my apartment in 2008 (it was the scent of the hand soap I put in the kitchen). When I smell it now, it reminds me of how lonely and kind of scary it was to be living by myself for the first time ever, especially in the first few days before I got the internet set up, and how my apartment didn't have all its furniture yet and didn't feel like a home.
-A rollerball of Viva La Juicy eau de parfum. I wasn't in the market for a new perfume, but I was goofing around with rollerballs at Sephora sometime last month and, amid all the scents that smelled okay in the tube but nasty once they had dried on my arms, there was one that was absolutely magical. Unfortunately, I was wearing something like ten different perfumes at that point, and couldn't remember which of the twenty or so I was standing in front of had been the one I had put on the back of my left wrist. It took two more trips to Sephora to narrow it down, but the second I put it on the last time, I recognized it as my magical scent. I love it so much I can't even believe it.
-My lip stuff collection:
Cherry Chapstick.
Two Sephora solid glosses.
A liquid Sephora gloss. This one came in a pack of three, as a free gift during the month of my last birthday.
A Clinique lipstick from a bonus gift bag that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gweniveeve's mother apparently had so many of, she needed to give them to her daughter's friends.
The Aveda lipstick I wore atgweniveeve's wedding.
A Nars lip lacquer.
I feel compelled to mention that I actually used to have more lip stuff in there, until I weeded out a few duplicates and things I don't use last winter.
Well, that was useful. This list has reconciled the apparent contradiction between my inability to find whatever it is I need right that moment from my purse, and the purse seeming to have a whole lot of stuff in it. I'm not weeding out lip glosses again, though. I need all those.
