Thursday Thirteen #4

Thirteen Random Items Found in the Dark Recesses of My Purse (I Was Bored)When Stranded at a Tim Horton's in Lambeth, Ontario While my Daughter was Learning some New Dance Stepsand Having Left my Book on the Table by the Front DoorI was Forced to Look Deep Inside my Purse for InspirationWhat I Found was Indeed Surprising and Rewarding! 1. The instruction book for my cell phone purchased in November - handy for those moments when I forget how to access a phone number or (gulp) send a text message. Yes, I am tragically inept when in comes to using a cell phone. 2. My cell phone - dead. 3. Deoderant - I have recently taken up walking on my lunch hour (it's not really an hour, more like 40 minutes) now that the snow has retreated for another year. Always good to freshen up afterwards! 4. Forgot about these - baby pictures of my one and only....that I've now been carrying around for almost 18 years. Awwwww. 5. The one thing I use on a daily basis - my To Do List notepad. I update it daily. I am a fanatic about crossing things off of lists - 1) get up 2) shower 3) eat breakfast... you get the idea. Only problem - I always have items to carry over to the next day. In the same category - a notepad to jot ideas into. Last used in the summer when I went to Chicago and encountered a really good beer with a really good name that I wanted to remember: Goose Island Honker's Ale. 6. Cheques for my line of credit because you never know when you might need to write a big cheque on the spur of the moment for that ridiculously cheap diamond necklace in the Birk's store window you walk by on your daily walk at lunchtime. 7. A Koins for Karen film container to collect coins for Lent - empty. 8. Five unopened packages of gum. Explains the empty coin container. Also, I read Hans Brinker at an early age and want to be prepared for any leaky dikes I happen to come across. 9. Nine pens and a pencil all rolling around the bottom of the purse...not a one in the handy-dandy pen holders the purse came equipped with and attracted me to buy it in the first place- yet I never seem able to find one when I need to write a cheque for a diamond necklace. Good thing. 10. Foo Fighters tickets from the concert on March 20th. Note to self: give to daughter who still collects such things. 11. Expired cat food coupon, Capt'n Highliner coupon, and Blockbuster Video coupons. Note to self: look into purse more often. 12. Oh Wow! The extra chai teabag Tim Horton's gives you when you order an extra large chai tea. 13. OMG! The "Free Coffee" I won ripped off a coffee I bought a few weeks ago at Tim Horton's during their Roll up the Rim contest. I found a free tea and a free coffee during this purse search. I am so lucky!! W00t Woot! P.S. As the search continued I also found a five dollar bill stuck in a wrong fold in my wallet. Who knew that such a mundane activity could turn into a veritable treasure trove. I also found a five dollar bill a couple of days ago in a spring jacket left there from last year - don't ya love it when that happens? Happy TT everyone!
