What's in My Bag

So as I mentioned, I just got a new bag, so I thought I'd take inventory of what exactly goes in there as I dump out my current choice and fill up the newbie.

Firstly, it's a Samsara Neuville Lg purse in plum colour and it's Awesome! It arrived today, after some ordering / shipping / phone call run around. But in any event, it's here and I love it!

So ... in dumping out the little and upgrading to the XL ( seriously the kids were like Miss that isn't a Purse, that's LUGGAGE! ) lol gotta love them and their honesty. Anyway... I've discovered immediately that I'm going to have to order up a Purseket that I've been eying for a long time too. The bag is just tooo deep to toss stuff in and hope to find it again later lol. But that's for another day.

The following are the contents currently in my bag:
1 pkg of 5 gum - cobalt flavour
A key to Janelle & Troy's house
A square goldish be-dazzled compact mirror - Gramma Honey just gave me for Christmas :)
A grey stay put tubey elastic hair band
My ipod in it's leather case with a cord wrapped around it so it can hook up to the car unit/stereo
A bottle of Equate brand cold & sinus caplets
A bounce lint & freshness clothes roller with a big grabby hair clip around it
A bottle of cool lubrificant Visine
A fibre 1 oats & chocolate bar -- YUMMM!
A tin of spearmint Excel mints - which Turbo has tried to steal a few times before
Some Halls Refresh - Juicy Strawberry flavour
A tin of Herbacin Kamille hand cream
A black change purse
Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea hand lotion & foaming hand sanitizer
One Step Spray sanitizer
A daily pill keeper - yes like the ones old people use.. if I don't I'll forget to take my viatmins
A reusable pink stripy bag from Bath & Body Works - LOVE THAT PLACE
My pink Keneth Cole wallet
A recycled paper note book from Chapters & a random pen
My Blackberry
Two mint chocolates from the Keg :) LOVE <3!!

okay... and here's where it gets slightly embarassing...

A tube of CO Bigelow "My Favorite Lip Balm" - shea butter & almond oil (BBW)
A tube of Liplicious "tasty lip colour" om whipped vanilla (BBW)
A tube of Blistex medicated lip ointment
A tube of Blistex Lip massage lip protectant & suncreen - Spf 15
Sally Hansen Gentle Lip Plumping Lip Treatment in "Happy"
Clinique Full Potential Lips Plump & Shine in Luscious Lilac
Clinique Colour Surge Butter Shine lipstick in First Love
....ahem....
A pair of black mittens
And finally my Oakley case, no glasses, but contains... a tube of Chapstick - vanilla mint - jeesh!

And that was a pretty little bag... goodness only knows what I'll get into with a big one like this!
Hope that was as uplifting for you as it was for me lol!

December Whirl Wind

So, as I'm sure you can tell, December has been just flying by. I held it together to get through all my concerts & performances this year. They all went fantastic, as I knew in the back of my mind they would. Those kids always know how to pull it off when it counts. Even the night of the Div 2 concert there was so much snow and the roads were terrible. I was so impressed with all the families that made it out. Some of the classes were down in numbers, but they still pulled it off. So they actually happened the 9th & 10th so I have had a full week to wind down and settle into our upcoming vacation. I was relatively healthy up until today really. I was sitting in the lunch room and MAN did it hit me fast. Almost as quickly as I felt nauseous, I made a run for it. Wasn't entirely sure at the time if I had overdone it with cold meds or what but whoa bessie I got hit hard. I pulled off the afternoon but zipped right home after to a hot bath and a cozy bed ... and a temperature of 102 to go with it. Not so much fun. I am starting to feel a bit better, and just had some soup so we'll see what happens in the next little while.

On a more positive note, we are leaving for DR next Thursday and I can't wait. I'm glad if I needed to get sick that it's now and not later. I have a week to rest & recoup so hopefully I will be good to go. I do still need to send my package home to my folks, planned on doing that today but it got put on the back burner. Perhaps tomorrow if I'm feeling better. Wrapping to do as well as a trip to the post office. A big box from my folks arrived yesterday and this year with no tree I was stumped as to where to put the gifts when I took them out of the box lol! I settled on the corner chair in the great room, Slash isn't to happy, but I'm sure he'll get over it. Clint should be home on Monday and my brother & Kim will arrive in Eddy tomorrow. I think they're going to try to get down earlier in the week before we leave. It will be so nice to see them, it's been a while. After thinking about it, I actually can't place the last time we've crossed paths. It might be a couple years now to be honest, which sounds terrible, but it doesn't seem that long. So perhaps I'm forgetting something. Ah well, it will come back to me eventually I'm sure.

So on a completely unrelated topic, I found myself enthralled the other day on youtube checking out "What's in your Purse" videos. I don't think I'm really game for making a vid right now, but I just got a new bag and I think I'll make another post answering the burning question of what's in MY bag. lol Geeker to the max, I know, I know! <3 xo
