I'm really too tired to add right now - I don't have the page count. I've a few books I'm saving for our summer vacation, Twilight is one of them. It's killing me not starting that one now, but I know I need a good one for the beach.

We are heading off next month to the Gulf Coast of Florida (Fla-ri-da, as one of my roommates used to say) I'm very excited, although not looking forward to the gas bills on the way down. Good thing I'm not planning much other than sitting myself on the beach for the whole vacation. Of course, I'll be under an umbrella, wearing cover-ups, a BIG hat, and about 90 SPF sun block. I have yet to find 90, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere.

Since it's officially summer today, I guess that means that spring cleaning time is over (Yay!) Here's my last organizing of spring - my purse. We'll purses, actually. It got a little out of hand having 4, for different occasions, so I'm not down to ONE . Remember that scene in Breakfast Club where Allison dumps out her purse, it was kinda like that.
  • A 10 Commandments coloring page
  • Receipt from June 2006
  • An 8 in Wrench
  • pencils, sharpened, unsharpened and mechanical
  • A Subway gift card
  • A Sally Beauty Card (expired)
  • In the health department:
    • 6 tampons
    • Deodorant (it fell apart when I opened the lid)
    • 2 bottles of hand sanitizer
    • about 9 Ricola cough drops
    • a big tin of salve
    • band aid (unused)
    • various wet naps from BW3
  • an ipod
  • pens
  • old calendar from 2007
  • animal print notebook
  • Rosary and prayer book
  • assorted change
  • keys
  • and many other receipts that were too faded to read
I guess you could say I'm a pack rat. I'd reply that I'm well prepared.


Hope everyone has a good summer!

You know, we didn't ask to see what was in your purse! :0D

I'm SO jealous that you're going to the beach! I know I'm going on vacation, but you know how much I love the beach. I just hope I get to see the Pacific since I'll be on that side of the country.

Keep your phone charged and on next week so I can give you updates of my trip! It will be just like you're there with me! :D

Have an awesome time in Florida. I might not be able to get to the beach b/c of the gas prices too. The sad thing is, that I only live 2 hours away from Myrtle. UGH!

Have a great time!

You never know when you're going to have to jam.
