what will this reveal about my soul? i dunno.

the strap of my bag broke as i entered the subway in boston, we were heading back to the airport to come home. that was early september. i haven’t found a suitable new bag yet.

• (note that there is a pocket for my silly phone in the purse, but my phone is out on my desk at the moment)
• (i would also usually have a pack of gum, but it’s in my car right now)
• kodak easyshare m320 camera
• “i voted” sticker
• chapstick (strawberry)
• dental floss (mint)
• bobby pins
• elastic hair ties
• cat fur (as ampersand likes to dig for and steal my elastic hair ties)
• items for special lady times
• a bead from an earring that apparently broke in my bag
• nail file
• hand lotion
• green highlighter with post-it notes
• black sharpie
• blue gel pen
• black ball point pen
• eye drops
• my name badge that gets me into my office, attached to a mapquest lanyard and the key to my desk (is that a security risk, telling you all of this?)
• coin purse with a bunch of pennies and other coins that i don’t feel like counting, i’ll estimate it to be about $1.34
• ipod nano (original)
• generic ear buds
• a carabiner with keys to my house, my car, and my sister’s house – oh, and a usb drive i never use
• kleenex travel pack
• printed coupons for free birthday stuff (caribou coffee and aveda)
• fancy post-it travel pack with a tiny pen

• small, red hard-cover notebook with a pen (the most important note scribbled within is that i need to buy some “apothic red” wine, i tried it at a coffee shop one night and went back for more, it was so delish) (i also wrote down a list of all of the states i’ve visited, i’m at 27!)
• my wallet:
• bonus club punch card from needlework unlimited
• starbucks gift card
• 2 target gift cards
• giftcard for forever 21
• clinic prescription refill procedures
• roadside assistance information card
• naughty credit card
• receipt of deposit from my bank
• a tiny bit of cash, which i’ll use to go roller skating tonight
• more coupons to use at aveda
• necessary insurance cards
• under-utilized business cards
• business cards from various business around the twin cities
• so many mostly worthless reward club cards (petsmart, famous footwear, new york & co, dunn brothers, morrie’s, panera, borders, rainbow, aveda)
• debit card
• membership cards (bally’s [though i quit so i should take this out], mpr, minneapolis public libraries)
• my blood donor card (much like my preferred attitude: b positive)
• identification cards (umn, driver’s license that i seriously need to get updated)
• receipt from my old chicago beer tour account, apparently i’ve lost my card or something (18 more beers ’til i complete the whole tour, i’ve only been working on it for 8 years or something)

that was an exciting way to kill some time!
