Writer's Block: Do Not Forget
Mar. 11th, 2012 02:43 pm[Error: unknown template qotd]
Whatever fits into my purse, whichever purse that may be, they're all kind of similar with zippered compartments on the outside and inside and such, because my things must have secured organization on the outsides for quick access; Stone Mountain is a good brand for that, which I always found on Ebay for next to nothing.
Here is a perfect example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/140691775503?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
There are the usual basic essentials: Wallet, cell phone, keys. Then there is balm or salve, including several organic lip and skin balms. Makeup, which includes concealer, eyeliner, lipstick, lipgloss, eyeshadow, mini mascara. Pens and paper. A mass market paperback book. Hand sanitizer. Deodorant, organic spray or mini or both. Travel toothbrush and toothpaste. A sturdy comb or foldable hairbrush. A mini bottle of skin cleanser that can be used head to toe. A mirror. Medicines for anxiety and stomach upset. A small pill container. A very small plastic bottle that used to be an energy shot but which presently contains water. Napkins or tissues. And enough room for anything small that needs a place to be put if I don't have a shopping bag or tote.
Mostly, though, it's balm and concealer and comb and toothbrush and tissues and santitizer, if nothing else other than the usual basic essentials. I never know where I will end up, so best to prepare. I could also tell you exactly what is in each purse pocket without looking, down to brand names and colors and sizes. Always have a way to cleanse, moisturize, and look presentable, because I never know if I'll find myself traveling with my husband on a job that puts us in a hotel, and I hate hotel toiletries.
I once tried to fit some stuff in a very small purse and it didn't work. There is no way I can fit stuff in my pockets. Also, when I was little and my OCD was kicking in, I would have panic attacks and obsessive thoughts if I left the house without a stuffed animal, because what if the house burned down, and at that age I didn't quite comprehend the idea that my parents could buy me a new toy. This is probably a carryover. House fires are one of my major nightmares. Hence, stuff in my purse. Also, a duffel bag already packed with clothes, next to my dresser.
I am still working out how to get the cats out of the house in an emergency. Also, we have rope ladders.
