Discoveries::

Every now and then I empty my purse/bag out (usually when it begins to weigh in over the maximum 50 pound limit I generally allow). Only the necessities are returned, toys go in their proper location, trash is disposed of. I noticed this morning that my bag was abnormally heavy, so it's time to purge. To add to the fun, I've decided to list everything that is found. Really, someone's bag probably says a lot about them.
