Don't ya hate it when...........

Don't ya hate when you want to sit down on the couch
and there isn't any room
cause someone's hogging the space?

Ya, me too.

On another note, one of the cutest ladies I've never met tagged me on her blog.
Mumsy is truly DARLING! Go check her out!

I'm supposed to tell five things I won't leave home without.
Then I'm supposed to tag five people to do the same.

OK, five things I won't leave home without:

#1: My purse.

You can click on the picture if you want to and you'll see a quarter I taped to the door, for comparison purposes.
That thing is massive and there isn't anything that I can't put in it.

#2: Imitrex.
This is a miracle drug for migraines. I get a migraine probably about 20 times a month. Perfumes will get me everytime. I keep Imitrex in my car, my first aid kit, camper, church bag, locker at work...you get the picture.

#3: Dental floss.
I can't STAND things in my teeth. I must floss 3 or more times a day.
I sorta start to hyperventilate if I can't find any.

#4: Carmex.
If you've ever heard that it's addicting, well it's true. I need an intervention.


#5: My phone.
Not because anyone ever calls, but because it has a camera on it. I may or may be guilty of taking pictures of people at WalMart.

OK, now that I've read that I realize that I might not be as normal as I thought.

Mumsy said she never leaves home without her husband. I thought that was so cute!
I would love to say that.
But considering he's been gone for the last four weeks, that would mean I wouldn't have ever gotten outside to enjoy this beautiful sub-zero weather.

I am passing this on to 5 people.

#1 Wendy. Because I can't resist! And I'm a giver.
#2 Connie. Because I want to know if you are abnormal too! (Please be abnormal!)
#3 Keeley. Because she's young and I wonder if I carry more/less than her.
#4 Gigi. Because she seems to be so put together she wouldn't need a purse.
#5 Ann. Because she has little kids and I bet it might have a binkie in it.

It will be fun to see what other people come up with.

    My husband takes Imatrix too he always gets migraines. We actually got to Gospel Principles instead of Gospel Doctrine because of perfume. He gets them all the time. He doesn't leave without it either. funny thing is he had an addiction to Carmex too! And they had to be the stick kind that you use.

    Cute purse!

    I loved this tag!!

    holy honkin purse! :) I can see why you wouldn't want to leave that home! It carries everything else you listed! Plus, you probably have amazing biceps just from carrying that thing around!

    Camille, I wonder if that purse makes my butt look big!
    Nah, it isn't the purse.

    Heather, don't you hate pefume at church? The worst is the temple. It's not like you can change classrooms or anything.

    first, is your purse a Miche bag?
    those things are huge! lol
    I HAVE heard that Carmex is addicting...why is that?
    Your hubby's been gone for 4 weeks?
    I don't think I could handle that.
    Well, I'd be a boob about it for sure.
    Had no idea about the migraines. I get them when I'm worn out, and the only thing that makes me feel better is a ton of water and sleep.

    Yes, I heart Imitrex too. I panic big time if I don't have it with me. (gasp) I disheart perfume also--Argh! I'm addicted to lip balm but not just one brand. Your purse is loverly...and biggerly. Add sugarfree gum to my list--usually Extra spearmint.

    dUmb Dog....I mean cat. I have one just like it.

    I didn't realize that people can get so sick from "stink pretty" until a lady asked us not to wear perfume to choir. It closes up her singing tube.

    Carmex? Yuck, however we are hooked on Blistex. My fav is the Raspberry Lemonade Blast.

    I have the same purse. Ok maybe just the same pattern on a much smaller scale. I had to downsize because the dishes weren't getting done with the kitchen sink in my purse.

    Good Lord, you DO have a Carmex friendship there! But then again, with a behemoth of a purse like that, you could store twice that much and never even know it. That bag is a.dorable by the way.

    Fun post--love it.

    Love the pic of the cat ; )

    Regarding the perfume--we have a no-scent policy at our building because we have a lot of people who cannot handle it.

    Loved reading your list.

    Living in AZ, one thing I panic if I don't have with me is water. Always gotta have some water.

    My dog always wants to be where my feet are supposed to go on our couch. What's wrong with laying somewhere else? It's a big couch.

    My purse is about that same size... but I only have ONE thing of Carmex in there... well, unless you count the Carmex lotion... because that's in there sometimes too :)

    and I would have begged you for imitrex today... because although my migraines are fewer and farther between... I was asking my son to drill into my skull today to relieve the pressure.

    he said no... what a good kid.

    Wow, yes that is a lot of Carmex. I rarely carry a purse, but I always have a diaper bag. Though I did get a new purse for Christmas-it is a big old honkin one as it is a camera purse, which I love love love!

  29. life in red shoesFebruary 9, 2011 at 10:23 PM

    My youngest is almost 20 and my purse is bigger than most diaper bags!
    I completely agree on the Imitrex! I've been using it for years and has given me back my life:)
    Carmex, can't make it without that either.

    P.S. I have to move the dog, what a couch potato;)

  31. VernFebruary 10, 2011 at 6:58 AM

    I've heard that Carmex is addicting because it actually dries out your lips - I guess there's a reason they use it on cold sores.

    A doctor lectured me about that recently. Just paying it forward!

    WHAT! How did I miss this? It's a good thing you have that purse to carry all the Carmex! Awesome!

    OK, I'll do it. But you'll find i'm extremely boring!

    Just the other day, the hubs pointed out as I was sitting on one end of the couch and Henry Gray Cat was sprawled out on the other end, that if he was any bigger, we'd have to get a bigger couch!

    Have a fabulous weekend!

  34. HollyFebruary 11, 2011 at 2:11 PM

    I am seriously LOVING that purse!! LOL!! BIG IS BEAUTIFUL, BABY!! (BAHAHA!! OK... so I guess that's taken out of the context originally intended, but it fits puses MUCH better IMO!)

    I'm with ya' on the migraines... Sorry... and triggered by scent is horrible. So many people think they have to overpower the world... *cough*

    I DO know what you mean about space hogs! We also have a dog that trusts us SO MUCH that he is NOT MOVING out of our way if he's comfy. We have to physically MOVE him when he's under the office chair when we go to sit down.

    So you're phone is probably your WATCH, TOO!! LOL!

    Dear Garden of Egan,
    Thanks for stopping by, even if it was because you were mandated by DeNae. And thanks for saving her daughter. I have a special spot in my heart for her, watching her go through YW and now be all growed up!

    There was a time I considered moving to Europe so I could carry a man-bag around and not be accused of carrying a purse. Now I just pretend my car is my purse - and good crap, can it hold a lot of stuff!

    Oh, no! So sorry about all the horrible migraines! :(

    I SOOO love dental floss!

    Would you believe I've never tried Carmex? My stinkin' lips are sensitive to just about everything (including lipstick, oh no!), but Aquaphor works for me!

    I always WANT to take pictures of people at Walmart, but I'm not sneaky enough to get away with it without being seen!

    Thanks for visiting my silly blog and leaving me a nice comment - I really appreciate it! :)

    Like a good little mormon I would have said my scriptures... but that is only to keep up appearances because I honestly just have them on my iPod that I take everywhere with me.

    I have the same addiction you have to carmex that I have to Natural Ice... it's awesome... switch over.
