by Shelly Kneupper Tucker on May 1, 2007

Again, it’s not a Wordless Wednesday! But, it leaves you kinda speechless, doesn’t it? I had to do this, because Jessica the Rock Chick insisted. So, I’m passing on the indignity. Jennymcb,Teamouse (who has a wonderful contest going on at her place), Thomma Lyn, SusieJ—–what’s in YOUR wallet? Show us your purse if you dare.

Leave a comment and your link will magically appear on the post.

Dear lord, it looks toxic ;-)

Hey, I cleaned it out before I took the picture!~skt

Bridget May 1, 2007 at 4:57 pm

Wow!! I’ll have one of those mints :) Happy WW!

You can have ‘em…I’ve got plenty more!~skt

Simone's Butterfly May 1, 2007 at 5:10 pm

Truth or Dare seems to be thing going around. :grin:

I’m just glad I’m not a mommy of toddlers or still in the younger years of my life! There would have been tons more that was incriminating in there!~skt

Comedy Plus May 1, 2007 at 5:17 pm

Wow! This is a lot of stuff for one purse. Are you sure there isn’t a body hidden in there somewhere. Wow. What fun! :grin:

There WAS a body in there, but I didn’t want to incriminate myself!~skt

Simone's Butterfly May 1, 2007 at 5:21 pm

So that is what an electic purse looks like on the inside :lol:

Stacie May 1, 2007 at 5:22 pm

You’re brave to expose your purse! Mine’s full of diapers, wipes and old receipts. Sigh.

LOL! Mine had that once, too! It still has the receipts….probably from 20 years ago!~skt

Thomma Lyn May 1, 2007 at 5:30 pm

LOLOL! Now that’s what I call a packed purse. Tune in tomorrow for the contents of mine — that is, if the image doesn’t crack my camera in half! :mrgreen:

I’m waiting with “baited breath.” Fortunately, I have mints! lol~skt

Starrlight May 1, 2007 at 5:38 pm

whew! I feel much better about mine now :mrgreen:

I’m glad I could help!~skt

TeaMouse May 1, 2007 at 5:38 pm

Wow, you’ve got one busy purse….lol! I’m not surprised. I think I have cleaned mine out recently so it may be kinda boring! Now I have my purse and then I have my Mickey tote bag that I take my knitting and other guilty pleasures in to work…Hmmmmmm lemme see, which one should I show you. Guess I’ll post it tomorrow. Thanks for the challenge.

I’ll watch for what you post!~skt

The Crazy King of Clowns May 1, 2007 at 5:53 pm

Nice pic!! Happy ww!!!

:)

:mrgreen:

Thanks. Happy WW. back

Jessica The Rock Chick May 1, 2007 at 5:57 pm

How on earth do you fit all that in your purse? :) I have to say, I was wrong about something…I really thought you would be a pink cell phone person. Maybe secretly you are :)

Jessica Morris caught me on a good day. I had just cleaned out my purse before I went rock chicking on Saturday night. I normally have WAY more stuff in mine…..

Thanks for playing with me!!! (that’s not a winning lottery ticket by any chance?????)

Jessica The Rock Chick

That’s only half of what was in my purse! I would be a RED cell phone person, but mine died while I was on a trip, and I had to take what they had in Sulphur Springs, TX. There you go. Yes, they are winning tickets…if you count $3.00. Took MUCH more moolah to purchase them!

Shelly Kneupper Tucker May 1, 2007 at 6:00 pm

I’m so disappointed that no one has asked me what that wooden thingie is at the bottom of the picture.

Sue May 1, 2007 at 6:00 pm

Looks like the contents of my purse! Happy WW!

You’ve got that much junk???~skt

Linda May 1, 2007 at 6:03 pm

And you carry this all by yourself without benefit of a hydraulic pump or anything?? Hokey smokes!

Yes, but I am now hunchbacked.~skt

Melanie May 1, 2007 at 6:50 pm

Wow! That’s a lot of stuff for that little purse. I’m scared to do mine!

Be bold…you never know what treasures that purse might hold! ~skt

TeaMouse May 1, 2007 at 7:05 pm

I noticed that after I left my comment – it looks like salad tongs?

Well, FINALLY someone asked what those wooden things were! Sheesh! Nope, Tea, they aren’t salad tongs. They are “whalebones” so I can play them while I tell the kids a story….I can’t play spoons, so this is the lazy gal’s way to get some rhythm. Thank you for getting my hint!~skt

Celeste May 1, 2007 at 7:12 pm

I thought they were playing spoons.LOL

Yeah, every gal needs a set of THOSE in her purse.~skt

Lene May 1, 2007 at 7:29 pm

lol great pic…mine is full of child clothes and diapers…nothing interesting

Happy WW!

Oh, I bet it’s “interesting!” I was there once, too lol~skt

Jen May 1, 2007 at 7:36 pm

Oh girl, you are going to be so surprised my economical use of space….LOL, I bring a backpack to work everyday. If I put everything I wanted with me every day in a purse, it would be too heavy. Gotta have my gadgets with me.

Posted my picture!

I SAW your picture. You organized people leave me jealous. :mrgreen: ~skt

Donna W May 1, 2007 at 8:08 pm

No way! Happy WW.

Chicken! I double dog dare you.~skt

Karen (Miscellaneous Mum) May 1, 2007 at 8:12 pm

Oh, that looks like mine! Happy WW :smile:

FINALLY someone admitted the truth :grin: I knew I wasn’t alone.~skt

Alissa May 1, 2007 at 8:51 pm

I’ll take that challenge and post tomorrow! Have a blessed night!

I look forward to seeing it. You are such a good photographer that people won’t notice the junk! ~skt

Missy May 1, 2007 at 9:03 pm

That boggles the mind! :shock:

My mind was already boggled, Missy! :wink: ~skt

TeaMouse May 1, 2007 at 9:12 pm

Got mine up! Not nearly as interesting as having whale bones but maybe you’ll be surprised by what’s in my purse…who knows. I am thankful that I had cleaned it out a few weeks ago. Usually I have tissues that I’ve used stuffed in it…gross, I know but I don’t like to leave them in the pews at church.

Good WW idea!

It was a copout WW idea, Tea. I don’t take good pictures! So I distract you with all the junk lol~skt

anyhowblogs May 1, 2007 at 10:03 pm

How do you get them all into 1 purse?

Magic :grin: ~skt

Harlekwin May 1, 2007 at 10:29 pm

Wow, a purse that says “This woman is ready for anything!”

~Mints and Perrier = Purse Food!
~Glasses for every vision emergency!
~Tongs for picking up things you’d rather not touch.
~When there’s a Visa card, who needs cash?
~But spare change is good for those that ask if you can spare some!
~Hmmm, a Honda?

Great picture! I can’t help thinking it looks like your purse threw up!

I’ve posted my first offering for WW. Can you guess what it is?

ciao bella~
Harlekwin

My purse DID throw up, didn’t it…I looked at your WW. Great picture and I can’t wait until you tell what it is!~skt

amy May 1, 2007 at 10:32 pm

Very nice!!! I have been tagged but since I dont use a purse (which is why I lose anything) Im having a hard time

Im inviting all WWers and anyone else to join the scavenger hunt we started today on my blog. We are having a a great time and we have over 80 people playing!! and we have some cool prizes! It just started so there is plenty of time to sign up. Hope you will join us!!!

Rosemarie May 1, 2007 at 11:40 pm

What’s the wooden thingy? Is it a shoehorn? Oh well, please explain. Too much stuff…time to downsize and minimize the load you’re carrying.

Anyway, I’ve decided this WW would be featured on my mommy blog Growing with Julia.

Thanks for sharing your insides!

I always spill my guts, Rosemarie! The wooden thingie is a set of whalebones that I use when I tell stories (instead of spoons). I look forward to getting around to all the blogs.~skt

Robin May 2, 2007 at 12:01 am

I was JUST coming to post to say how cool it is that you play the spoons (from here they really do look more like spoons than whalebones). I love playing the spoons, though I’m decidedly amateurish (read: lousy).

Do you also play along at jam sessions, or is it just a rhythm accompaniment to your stories?

Just with the stories, Robin. I don’t have that much rhythm. I can play things I practice, but I’m not a musician. I can’t hold the spoons to play them, though I’ve tried and tried.~skt

Alison May 2, 2007 at 12:33 am

I know this feeling, sometimes I find things that I’m sure I’ve never seen before.

And, sometimes I find things I haven’t seen in years!~skt

palmtreefanatic May 2, 2007 at 3:56 am

wow! now thats alot of stuff! hehehehe

A girl’s gotta have it! Thanks for visiting.~skt

Mama Duck May 2, 2007 at 6:56 am

WOW!!! LOL I know I have less than ten things in mine, even tho I need to clean it out. Of course, my little guy empties it out all the time so that helps too ;) . Happy WW!

Lisa – Lil Duck Duck

My “little guys” are grown and gone. They always emptied it….of money lol!~skt

Patois May 2, 2007 at 7:07 am

Do you suffer from back or neck pain?

I was born to suffer.~skt

mags May 2, 2007 at 7:38 am

:eek:

Holy cow!

Nothing “holy” in this picture! Thanks for the visit, ms maggie “moo.” :grin: ~skt

Denise Patrick May 2, 2007 at 9:26 am

There is no way you could get me to empty out my purse like that. I’m not sure everything would go back in.

Everything didn’t, Denise. But, it was a good excuse to clean it!~skt

Freelance Cynic May 2, 2007 at 1:03 pm

wow you know that whole, a womans handbag is like her mind thing? I hope I never see your mind!

ROFLMA! I have a lovely mind. Where’s your courage, man?~skt

elasticwaistbandlady May 2, 2007 at 2:19 pm

Did you hear that? That would be my SWWWWOOOOOONNNN reaction to your gorgeous purse!

Happy WW!

The purse IS gorgeous. Vintage 1980s. The junk inside, meh! Thanks for dropping by.~skt

Kristy May 2, 2007 at 2:46 pm

That’s a great Wordless Wednesday. Who needs words for that?

Well, Kristy…I do! I can’t shut up. Come around often enough and you’ll find that out in a hurry! Thanks for visiting.~skt

Thomma Lyn May 2, 2007 at 2:57 pm

All righty — I’ve got my What’s In My Purse picture up, over on my blog. :mrgreen:

Thanks, Shelly — that was a great excuse to clean the dang thing out (though I snapped the picture pre-clean up so you could experience the full effect, LOL!).

Oh, I can’t wait to go see! ~skt

Robyn May 2, 2007 at 3:08 pm

Do you have one shoulder lower than the other from carrying it around?

Absolutely! I thought that was normal.~skt

Janne May 2, 2007 at 3:15 pm

Wow! That’s a lot of stuff for just one purse!

That’s just the purse. There is also a “bag.” I’m a sick person.~skt

Wylie Kinson May 2, 2007 at 3:24 pm

I don’t carry a purse/wallet, but a packsack — and my God, the crap I have in there!

But with kids, you essentials like an extra diaper, juice box, Purell, crayons and a few matchbox cars (for spur of the moment restaurant meals, children’s Tylenol (just in case), in addition to the regular stuff like tissues, money, credit cards, beauty essentials, a magazine or book,…
Guess that Girl Guide motto “always be prepared’ settled into my brain but good!
I’d need a panoramic lense to capture it all!!

Well, Wylie, get a panoramic lense and give it a go! Let’s see what you have.~skt

Penny May 2, 2007 at 4:41 pm

I have seen these purse pics around blogland lately! What a fun “dare”! I wish someone tag…err…dare me to post a purse pic…lol!!

Well, consider yourself tagged! Show it all…if you dare~skt

SusieJ May 2, 2007 at 8:01 pm

Nice eclectic purse. I’m talking about the purse itself. Nice. What is the wooden thing at the bottom? Good taste in water. Nice glasses. I just took mine — I didn’t know, really, what was in it, until I dumped the purse, and just shot it. What a hoot.

Well, your purse beats mine for stuff! I just saw the picture you posted. The wooden thing is a set of whalebones. Gotta have water, and many many pairs of glasses….~skt

Crystal May 2, 2007 at 8:30 pm

Wow, that’s a lot of stuff. I wish I could pack that much stuff in mine. I’ve tried. Doesn’t work. :lol:

You aren’t trying hard enough, Crystal :grin: ~skt

Rose May 2, 2007 at 11:19 pm

I think you need a bigger purse. :shock:

I have a bigger purse, and a littler purse, and MANY other purses. I need less junk, is what I need! I need to learn restraint is what I need. I need to just get organized, is what I need! ~skt

Nanny Molly May 3, 2007 at 10:41 am

SusieJ tagged me and I just posted the embarassing contents of my bag. Now I have tagged Nanny Tina to reveal what is in that gigantic Hermie Bag she keeps clutched in those tiny hands. We are late in this but want to be part of the fun.
Nanny Molly

Well, we will have to see what you had in YOUR wallet.~skt

Nanny Molly May 3, 2007 at 10:44 am

and this is so embarrassing! I can’t spell embarrassing! Whoopsie Daisey. (Thanks, Bonchuk for the catch.) Apologies, Readers. I am flawed, but just a teensy weensy bit.

I am not embarrassed! It’s just my stuff~skt

Marcia May 3, 2007 at 4:41 pm

I want to see what you cleaned out before you took the picture! I know from my younger days women can fit more than that in one little purse and you already admitted to cleaning yours out. I lost my keys in one and had to dump it out on a floor and sort it out, yuck. I don’t carry a purse anymore. If we go out in finery I stuff what little I need in his coat pockets. The rest of the time I keep it all in the car or my jean pockets or camera case. My shoulders were worn down.

Oh, one day I won’t carry purses either. Some days I don’t. I took out a LOT of stuff, but it wasn’t photogenic :grin: ~skt

Nanny Molly May 4, 2007 at 8:14 am

Marcia,dear, may I call you Marcia? — well, those who know me, know that I am nothing if not conscious about my accoutrements and the casual grace of my charmed life as a cosmopolitan Nanny. In my life, dear, everything seems to just fall into place with beauty and chic. Nothing in the snap photo was arranged. I can’t help it. Help is here: I am taking trainees in Purse Interior Planning (goodness, looking at these results, there is a need!) if you want to enroll. Please have your plastic ready. Cheers.

Were you talking to Marcia (who commented before you) or to me? You can call me Marcia, if you’d like…but I probably won’t answer. If you read a post you will know my name. Thanks.~skt
