Ten Things in My Purse

Tuesday Ten

I love having a big purse because I love being prepared…for anything! So I have more then ten things in my purse, and I also carry a lot of the kids’ things in my purse. Here are 10 things I have in my purse today for Tuesday Ten:

purse items

10. Fun Chop – We ate dinner at Pei Wei the other night. Emmy loves using Fun Chop to help her hold chop sticks, and Lily insists on holding her chopsticks without it, so I always end up with one in my purse. What is a Fun Chop? It’s a plastic chop sticks holder that keeps them together so that all kids have to do is squeeze the chopsticks like a big pair of tweezers. Fun!

9. Chicago Wolves hockey cards – We went to a hockey game on Sunday, and everyone got a free pack of hockey cards!

8. My Nook – I normally don’t carry my Nook in my purse, but this afternoon I had my mammogram. I need something to read besides those outdated fashion magazines that hang out in medical facilities. Today I was reading Then I Became a Mother by Robin Kramer. Wait until you read my review later this month…it’s so good!

7. Spray hand sanitizer – no explanation needed!

6. My keys – with two beaded key chains that Lily and Emmy each made for me when they were in preschool.

5. My wallet – full of essentials.

4. Bubble Yum bubblegum, which Emmy insisted on buying during our trip to Target during Lily’s piano lesson.

3. Blistex and other lip balms and lip sticks, to make my lips pretty!

2. A small notebook and a pen – to write notes in at meetings or for blog posts, and to keep my children occupied if they get bored.

1. My camera in its pink case – for my blog and to take pictures of the girls. I also take videos with my camera, like this one I took at the beginning of the Wolves game on Sunday. (Ed was a little disappointed that they don’t play Def Leppard’s “Rocket” any more, but they still do a pretty awesome job!)

Super Powers

Tuesday Ten

It’s time for Tuesday Ten! This week, the Ten is all about Super Powers. What superpowers would I choose to have?

10. Turn Back Time. I don’t want to change the future or do anything rash, but as Cher sings, “If I could turn back time…I’d take back those words that have hurt you.” I’d like to take back hurtful words I said when I spoke without thinking.

9. Add more hours to the day. Because really, I need them. How else will I read a book, write a blog post, finish my quilt, play with my children and save the world? I need more time!

8. Mary Poppins magic. I’ll just snap my fingers and the house will clean itself!

7. Instant chef powers. A delicious gourmet meal will be in the kitchen every evening right around 5:30! And of course not only will the adults love it, but the kids will eat it, too. Now that’s a super power!

6. Multitasking. I’d truly be able to multitask. I say I can do it, but I really can’t. I can only do one thing at a time to do it well.

5. Super strength. I’d be able to shovel our long, wide driveway in no time at all! Did you hear we’re expecting more snow today in Chicago?

4. X-ray vision. I would be able to see all the rooms in my house from the comfort of the couch and determine who was doing homework and who was getting into trouble! I could also use it at will; no one wants to see their husband in the bathroom. At least I don’t.

3. Instantaneous travel. I would be able to go have lunch with my sisters and be back in time to pick up the kids from school!

2. Giving true comfort. When words just aren’t enough to comfort someone who is grieving or depressed, this super power gives a friend the true feeling of peace.

1. Power of healing. Like Rapunzel’s hair, I would be able to heal the smallest boo-boo and cure the most deadliest diseases. There is one family member I would wish to cure right now; my cousin Mark has cancer and is always in my prayers.

What super power would you choose?
