After reading a few other blogs that have emptied their own bags for their 52 List projects I feel like the stuff in my bag is a little lame in comparison. Nothing too quirky. And really not that much. But at the same time a lot of it is stuff I have for a few "just in case" moments.
1 - Keys: a must
2 - Phone: most of the time on silent mode, unless I need to use it to make a call, I won't know that you've tried calling
3 - Planner: If you don't know what's going on, I do. As before mentioned I'm a big planner. There's little things that are okay.. .but if you're planning a camping trip and tell me the day before, I'll be opposed to going just on the basis of the short notice.
4 - Notebook: There's room in my planner for notes, but for all the random things I've got this. . .sometimes several notebooks. There's wish lists and a list of blog posts I mean to do. There's vacation plans. There's books I want to read. There's decorating ideas. There's a lot of really random stuff too.
5 - Lots of Pens: preferably from MacKenzie River Pizza and in blue ink
6 - Checkbook: I made it .. if you'd like one too, let me know : )
7 - Wallet: Love the hard case wallets, I have a few
8 - Business Card Case: I have some personal cards I've made, to give out for someone that needs a babysitter, or wants me to make something . .. and a few of Chad's, because he never has his own on him when he needs one!
9 - Pill Box: Rarely used, but the day I don't have it in my bag is the day I'll need some Advil
10 - Emergency Candy: A job lifesaver! The perfect bribe for a 3 and 5 year old to behave and get in return later . . . or to pacify an 18 month old having a cranky pants moment at a very imperfect time.
11 - Hair ties/Bobby Pins/Barrette: I wear my hair up a lot (Bert, if you ever read this, you were right), so there's a smattering of hair ties and bobby pins and a barrette I made in high school, which is one of my favorite things.
12 - Nail File: If I don't have it, I'll need it!
13 - Aveeno Chapstick: Discovered this a couple years ago at Target. It's a little more than some other kinds, but so worth it!
14 - Roll on Perfume/Lotion: Falling In Love by philosophy
15 - Emergency Make-Up: The kids don't care what I look like and I am not a morning person, most of the time I won't have anything on. If I do, it's because we went out the night before somewhere and I didn't take it off before bed. For all those last minute events that don't allow for me to go home and clean up I got this. It's a great little compact from Mark/Avon, which eyeshadow, blush, lip gloss and a mirror. Also a mini mascara/lip liner. It's an effort to embrace spontaneity and has done a pretty decent job is keeping me from freaking out too much at the last minute stuff.
