What's in my purse?

 
If I was to lose my purse I would lose a lot of stuff. Everyone always jokes about how my purse weighs so much and that I have everything I need in my purse. Well luckily right before this blog I cleaned out my purse so I won’t have a five page blog about the contents in my purse and how it identifies me. Still someone who found my purse would think I had a lot of “stuff” but that may just be “stuff” to them but it’s meaningful stuff to me. I asked my niece what she would think if she found my purse and she said “She would think I was very materialistic by just looking at my purse”. Or someone might think I was stuck up or rich. I think she thinks this because my purse is a Coach purse and for those men and some women who don’t know it’s a pretty expensive brand. Inside my purse I have lots of paperwork from the doctors and bills I have to pay. Someone might make the assumption that I am a stupid person because I carry this important stuff in my purse. But the real reason I carry it in my purse is because I forget stuff easily and it’s there to remind me. I have my camera, my sunglasses, a mirror and a Coach wristlet. If it were a guy that found my purse he would probably make the assumption I was high maintenance and wonder why I need to carry all of this, women totally understand.
I have chapstick, lipgloss, pens, pencils, address book, checkbook, Bluetooth, and change floating around everywhere. That’s just what’s in my purse. In my wallet is my ID, a Subway card, Starbucks cards, grocery store rewards cards, Outback gift card, Wal-Mart gift card, Costco member card, Petco rewards card, insurance cards and pictures of family and friends. If they found my ID they would notice I was a female, 5’3” tall, 130 pounds, brown eyes and live in Everett, WA. Everything would be right except my weight is 15 pounds heavier because I just gave birth to my daughter, which they could probably guess I had a baby because of the pacifier in my purse. They could guess that I have some kind of animal because of the Petco card, which I do have a cat and a dog. Someone would make the assumption that I go shopping a lot and have lots of money based on all the cards in my purse. But if you didn’t notice I didn’t mention anything about any money in my purse because I have none. If they identified me as someone who liked to eat they would be right, but then if they pictured me as a heavier person because of all the food cards they would be wrong. Based on the pictures of my friends and family hopefully it would give them the assumption that I care a lot about them.
The person who found my purse would think I was a very messy person that keeps everything. But by just finding my purse they would be unable to know that I am actually a clean freak. I clean everyday because I hate things being messing, I can’t stand dirt and never think anything is clean enough. They wouldn’t know that I go to college because I have nothing to show that I go to school. I would be very upset if I lost my purse and wallet but to someone else it could mean nothing.
