No kitchen sink, but ...

While rooting through my purse for my very loudly ringing cell phone today, I took a quick inventory. Here's what I've got:

1. Wallet
2. Eyeglasses in a case
3. Four McDonald's napkins, which I grabbed to use as tissues for Sam
4. Three miniature Little Golden Books: "Beauty and the Beast," "The Little Mermaid" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs"
5. Daily planner
6. Hand sanitizer
7. Half-full bottle of ibuprofen
8. Three mini princess dolls: Cinderella, Snow White and Belle
9. Compact
10. Two tubes of Chap Stick, two lipsticks
11. Two folding brushes -- one for me and one to hand to Sam when she's bored in the car (it has a mirror on the handle, and she loves to stare at herself)
12. Three ponytail holders: aqua, brown and blue (guess which one's supposed to be for me; now guess which ones I've actually worn in a pinch ...)
13. A hair clip
14. A paper clip
15. Sunglasses
16. Checkbook
17. Pepper spray
18. A crumpled pay stub from last week
19. A crumpled receipt for a power cord I need to return to my last Internet service provider
20. A little green plastic thing that has dental floss on it
21. Crumbs from Goldfish crackers
22. Keys

Here's what I would have had in my purse 10 years ago:
1. Nothing. I didn't carry a purse. I hated purses. Everything I owned went into my backpack. And the only toy I had on there was an Elmo head on a keychain, which was meant to make me smile during my heinously boring public-relations and statistics classes.

How did I get to this point in my life? Something as simple as trying to answer my cell phone managed to make me feel old.

What's the strangest thing you've got in your purse?
