This morning as I rummaged around in my purse for a piece of gum I realized that we ladies keep some pretty strange stuff in there. I thought it might be fun to share some of the strange contents:

Here's a few of mine:

- a banana
- an In Living Color magnet that says "Hated It" (I know some of you remember that show, hehe.. it's acutally a gag gift for my sister that I meant to mail months ago)
- a wine cork
- a whistle (no idea)

Spout thingie to put on my bottle of olive oil - my sister gave it to me last time I was at her house.

A ruler.
