My Purse: Then and Now

As I was riffling through my purse yesterday I thought about how I have always carried a really messy purse. What has changed is what I keep in my purse. When I was in high school and early college I carried a different mess of stuff than what I carry these days.

Then:

• Gum - spearmint not peppermint and lots of it!
• My 'trusty' credit card
• My beeper
• Change for the pay phone - do they have pay phones now? (if they do - how much do they cost??)
• Lots of readmits for when I 'missed' a class
• Movie tickets and notes from friends
  

Now:

• Never gum - I out grew gum - eww!
• Cash
• My old school cell phone (for now - I have a fancy one on the way)
• Medicine for most illnesses
• Paper and a pen - I can entertain myself for a good hour making lists
• Old lists, snacks, bank envelopes, coupons and other clear signs that I am nearing 30!
