This week’s What’s in Your Purse Series week 87 (too much) is from me. Again. I dumped my purse out all over the kitchen table last week, so I could organize and sift out the miscellany that has gathered over the last two frantic months of travel and end of school nonsense. I knew my purse was feeling extra heavy, but I’m completely embarrassed to show you the amount of crap I’ve been carrying around. It’s ridiculous.
I tried to gather my purse junk into piles for a little order in the madness; I’m not sure it helped.

I know, right? I always forget that bad boy when I go through security. It’s awesome.

Emilie I’m not sure how long it was there but I guarantee I drank it while at one of the following: 1st grade talent show, 6th grade graduation, final choir concert.
