Fun Monday #39, Don't Leave Home Without It
Candid Karina is hosting today's FUN MONDAY. She wants us to be very CANDID...about what we take with us everywhere we go. Her words:
I want to see your security blankets. No, not the kind Linus carries around with him in the Charlie Brown cartoons, although, if you have one of those, by all means share it. What I want to see are the items you just cannot leave home without. What is it that if you leave your house without, you feel naked, incomplete, not quite right? This can be one thing or many things. And since most of us don't live in a clothing optional society, lets just assume we all leave the house fully dressed...I want to hear about those other things...the extras. The things that make women's purses so heavy and men's pockets so messy (I'm going to get grief for this one, aren't I?) What can't you leave home without? Show us pictures, tell us stories...have fun!

I have entirely too much junk in my purse and most of it I could leave at home. Distraction is a poor excuse for not removing it.
It holds my day timer/address book, my credit cards, my grandchildren photographs, my lipsticks, lotions, eye drops, fingernail file, pay stubs, store receipts, Altoids, and the kitchen sink. The strap groove is my shoulder is proof of a far too heavy bag.
The past few years I have added several items to this carry-all. Just in case I want to blog it, paint it, or identify it, I take the following:
ps. If I'm spending the night, I take my pillow and comforter, too.

i ended up leaving it behind.
Oh binoculars and a bird identification book, that is how you know robins from starlings. (He,he) Your camera is very, very nice.
I would take my camera more, but it is so big and cumbersome.
Mine's posted...
Have a great MOANday.
If my camera's not in the car, I rely on my cell phone--not near as good of quality, but it's been helpful nonetheless.
I think we'll see lots of common threads today...
BTW, CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR FAMILY'S "NEWS" :) :) :)!
what? no pad and pen to jot down notes?? tsk tsk lol
Wow, the list of your purse contents makes me tired just thinking about carrying it!! ;-)
Happy Monday!
Thanks for visiting.
Just kidding. My mother-in-law paints from photos too (Is that what you mean? Maybe I need to start drinking coffee.
LOVE Altoids!
Happy Fun Monday
By the way, I took pictures of the birds in our backyard when they were born, but our camera was out of battery, and the cell phone pics didn't come out well. Too fuzzy to see anything. Is it helpful if I saw they were brown and small?
What else do you paint?
Happy Fun Monday!
I got a new bag today and will be doing an organizing my purse post on Wednesday since I am so organized and I have a million things in it and I was just so excited to find what I was looking for.
I just came from Karmyns blog. I hear congrats are in order Grandma!
Take care,
Connie
I never forget the camera - and for overnight? Squooshy Bear. But I only barely posted about him...once...
xo
Happy Halloween!
