What’s in your bag?

August 14, 2008 at 9:30 am (Memes) (, )

I saw this meme a few weeks ago on someone’s blog. I can’t remember who anymore, unfortunately, but it looks like it’s been done by a few other bloggers that I read occasionally as well, so you can get a comparison if you’d like.

Now, this would have included much more stuff a few months ago, when I was carrying a bigger bag, but here’s the new bag and it’s contents:

From Target

From Target

Lots of stuff

Lots of stuff

So, since this picture is somewhat small, here’s a list of what I found in the great abyss of my purse:

  1. My wallet, also from Target
  2. My D&G sunglasses
  3. A comb (a bit big to be portable, but I can’t find a smaller one in the house)
  4. A super-duper nail file
  5. A mirror from The Body Shop
  6. A packaged hand wipe from TGIFridays
  7. Mickey and Minnie key chains (not attached to the main key chain yet for some reason)
  8. Chapstick (I actually prefer Natural Ice brand lip balm, it’s all tingly!)
  9. Advil and Tylenol Cold and Sinus (just getting over a cold)
  10. Eye drops (I have contacts, there is always something bothering my eye)
  11. 2 hair ties
  12. 2 bobby-pins
  13. My keys
  14. Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer in Sweet Pea
  15. A notepad-pen combo from Barnes & Noble
  16. Another pen (with fairies on it)
  17. Ticket stub from The Dark Knight
  18. Shopping list
  19. Receipt from Off Broadway Shoes
  20. Receipt from Bloom
  21. My Zune
  22. iPod sock case (show me a cute Zune case and I’ll buy it)
  23. 2 reusable bags (I’ve switched to greenbags from Whole Foods for groceries and use these for other shopping. They’re Envirosax – they’re very cute and roll up nice and tiny!)
  24. Aveda coupon
  25. Bath and Body Works coupon
  26. Bloom coupons
  27. Bed Bath and Beyond coupon
  28. Lane Bryant coupon
  29. Wrigley’s 5 gum in Rain (I love this gum. I also really like Lush, a tropical flavor)

Obviously this was taken without any pre-decluttering to make me look good. I did take out all the trash after taking the picture, but seriously, coupons need to get smaller. On the plus side, having all this junk in my purse made me quite the team asset in a recent bridal shower game!

So, what’s in your bag?

Disney Meme

July 21, 2008 at 10:49 am (Memes) (, )

I found this question at That’s My Answer:

If you had to be one of the costumed greeters at Walt Disney World for a day, what character would you be and why? What do you anticipate your day would be like?

I think I’d choose to be Snow White. As much as I like the no-talking aspect (I’m shy) of the full costume with head of things like Minnie, I definitely wouldn’t want to be in that hot suit all day, so of all the princesses, I think I’d choose Snow White, since I’m pretty pale and have dark hair to begin with. I also like that she’s supposed to be friendly with all the animals. I also love animals. I’ve always liked Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) also, because I like to sleep, but I’m not sure I’d make a good blonde.

I think I’d have fun being a character at Disney World, apart from my shyness, which I’m sure I’d get over. The past 2 visits, I really enjoyed seeing all the little girls in their adorable princess costumes, looking forward to possibly having one of my own one day – ask the hubby, every time I pointed one out, he’d just roll his eyes jokingly and say I can’t have her (one day…assuming I don’t have all boys. They probably wouldn’t enjoy being dressed up like a princess…). I’m sure they’d be super-excited to see me, which would be a lot of fun. I’m not sure how I’d handle the crying or bratty children though (this is one reason why I’m not quite ready for my own children yet).

For the record, my hubby says he’d be Mickey because everyone loves Mickey, though he thinks he may be too tall. He can do a pretty convincing Mickey laugh though!

Champagne Supernova

Here’s a meme I saw on Slackermama a few weeks ago that looked fun:

  1. Put your iTunes/music player on “Shuffle”
  2. For each question, press the “Next” button to get your answer
  3. You MUST write down the name of THAT SONG no matter what. (aka NO CHEATING!)

IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY” YOU SAY? Times Like These (Foo Fighters) - Kinda makes sense, I guess.

WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY? Somewhat Damaged (Nine Inch Nails) – Oh geez!

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN A GUY/GIRL? Thoughts Without Words (Shadows Fall) – Actually, I’m the quiet one…the hubby is quite outgoing and loud.

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY? Bulls on Parade (Rage Against the Machine) – Well, I suppose I am still kind of angry today..

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE’S PURPOSE? Violet Hill (Coldplay) – Well, this doesn’t make much sense.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO? Gave Up (Nine Inch Nails) – Boy these NIN songs are bring me down!!

WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU? Breathing Slowly (Crossfade) – Erm…ok…

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR PARENTS? Like a Stone (Audioslave) – Ok, this works. Like strength!

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN? Sunday (String Quartet Tribute of U2) – Hehe, I think of days of the week.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND? Paralyzer (Finger Eleven) – Paralyzing me with happiness? I dunno..

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE? Until it Sleeps (Metallica) – So the hubby is an it now? And he snores – I prefer him awake!!

WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY? A Story About a Girl (Our Lady Peace) – WOW! That one really worked out well!!

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? Tonight Tonight (The Smashing Pumpkins) – I do like nighttime…

WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE? Demons (Guster) – Eeek!

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU? Welcome to Paradise (Green Day) – Heh. I always knew I was the favorite. Jk Nicki!

WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING? Song from Truly, Madly, Deeply (Bach) – Holy cow, this one worked out really well also! I actually wanted to have this song played at some point before the wedding ceremony by the string quartet, but they couldn’t make it work with 4 string instruments (it’s played by a cello and a piano in the movie). I’m not sure what it’s actually called. It’s a very pretty song from the movie Truly, Madly, Deeply which is one of my favorite movies. I’m a sucker for Alan Rickman.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL? It Ends Tonight (All-American Rejects) - Creepy

WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST? Rusty Cage (Soundgarden) – Ummm, is this implying some sort of kinky S&M stuff??

WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET? Sell My Soul (Our Lady Peace) – I hope not!

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS? Gone (N*sync)- Well, apart from being embarrassing to have in this list, this is partly true. I haven’t really talked to a lot of my good friends from high school in a long time and I don’t get to see my college friends too often.

WHAT SHOULD YOU POST THIS AS? Champagne Supernova (Oasis) – Okie dokie, if you say so.
