What's In Your Purse?

[Tiramisu]

I typically carry a small (only essentials) plain black purse (Penney's). My daughters are trying to talk me into moving into a larger bag. I have a checkbook sized zipper wallet (a grab & go) that holds all my license, credit/gas cards, some family pictures, etc. that fits in one open large side. It has two outside pockets for my keys, work badge, hair scrunchy and usually extra Aleve and Prilosec. There's a small inside zipper where I keep a pillbox with a couple of muscle relaxers and pain pills. Then, there's the middle zipper where I drop extra keys (lock boxes & kids houses) and my flash drives. Then the other open large side holds my camera and nintendo ds.

Razer cell phone stays on my person at all times, either in my pocket or a holster (when I don't have a pocket).

But, for workdays, I carry an extra bag (open and drop in). It's got my date/address book (bills, copies of doggie vaccines, etc.) phone charger, nintendo ds charger, a walkman radio with tv channel reception, extra batteries, gum, etc.

Am I OCD or just too practical?

It sounds to me like you just carry what you need. Your contents sound a lot like what I carry. I try to only take what I'm going to need. That's why I carry a small purse. If I carry a larger purse it gets filled up with stuff that I don't need and don't have time to take out. It doesn't sound like your OCD, just practical!!!

In my purse i have my i pod nano, my wallet with my id and all that jazz and I think thats about it, oh a lot of change I try to keep from carrying a lot of stuff in my purse, especially this new one. I have a cute purse with two maltese on it.

That sounds like a darling purse!! I've seen some hand painted purses on e-Bay with yorkies but they're usually expensive. It sounds like you travel pretty light in your purse. I think that when you get to be a Mom you HAVE to carry a bigger purse because you never know what you're going to need. So you have to be a young person!!!!
