Packing Pink Heat

In addition to my purse, I also carry a tote bag to work with me each day. I also throw it in the car when I travel, which means it accumulates odds and ends from all over. As time passes, it gets heavier and heavier and eventually there comes a time when it must be cleaned out. This usually happens every three or four months. After looking for something deep in the bag's dark bowels last night and being unable to find it, I realized that it was once again time to put it into some semblance of order. Apparently, it hadn't been cleaned out since September because there were receipts and junk from Wilmington, NC, in there. Rattling around in the dark and scary nether world of the bag, I found:

• Gobs of old receipts.
• Several tubes of lipstick. I don't know why they were in there; I carry my lipstick in my purse (I thought).
• 4 CDs (because I get bored with the radio while driving and at work) -- Chris Isaak, Meat Loaf, Blondie, and Pearl Jam.
• Disgusting food items (because I often get hungry in traffic) -- 2 half packs of Nabs, 1 ancient looking candy bar, 2 fuzzy granola bars, a few wrapped peppermint candies, a roll of breath mints, and a fortune cookie, provenance unknown.
• A paperback book (I can't remember whether I ever finished it).
• An empty printer cartridge.
• Two plastic forks and a plastic spoon.
• Wads of Kleenex.
• Not 1, not 2, but 3 hairbrushes and some scrunchies and other hair stuff.
• A blank CD.
• A book of 39-cent stamps I never used.
• A short stack of mail I meant to read and never did.
• 2 catalogues.
• $4.52 in loose change.
• 7 pens and 2 pencils.
• 2 notepads.
• A pad of sticky notes.
• A pink Swiss Army knife.
• And the dog's old collar.

Good God, it's a wonder I'm not sway-backed from hauling all that junk around. The tote bag feels much lighter now.



This is some of the booty from the bag of tricks, like my "tiara" headband, sparkly barrettes, black velvet scrunchie, the ponytail holder with pink beads, the pale pink nail polish I've been looking for, and my "royal" charm bracelet.

Boudreaux and Thibodaux were driving on the highway, on their way to go bear hunting. They come upon this fork in the road, where there was a sign that said, "Bear Left". So they turned around and went home.

Boudreaux and Thibodaux were on a weekend hunt when they witnessed a UFO landing. As the little green creatures came out of the UFO craft, Boudreaux said " Mais whats dat?"

Boudreaux and Thibodaux go ice fishing. They stop at a store on the side of the road and ask the cashier where they can go ice fishing. The cashier says there is a frozen lake across the road and I got bait and ice picks to break the ice to fish. An hour later Boudreaux goes to the store to buy some more ice picks. He tells the cashier, "I want all the ice picks you have."
The guy says, "Are you all catching a lot of fish?"
Boudreaux says, "Catching a lot of fish! We don't even got da boat launch yet."

Boudreaux and his brand new wife went to a hotel for their wedding night.
He went to the front desk and asked for a room. He said it was their Honeymoon and they wanted a very nice room.

The clerk winked and asked, "Do you want the bridal?"

Boudreaux thought about it a while and then replied. "No, I guess not. I'll just hold onto her ears until she gets used to it."

After living in the swamps all their lives, Boudreaux decided it was time to visit the big city of Breaux Bridge. In one of the stores, Boudreaux picks up a mirror and looks in it. Not knowing what it was, he said "Mais, how bout dat! Dat's a picture of my daddy!" He bought the mirror, but on the way home he remembered his wife, Marie, didn't like his dad. So he hung the mirror in the shack behind the camp, and every morning before leaving for the woods, he would go and look at it. Marie began to get suspicious of this many trips to the shack. So, one day, after Boudreaux left, she searched the shack and found the mirror. As she looked into the glass, she fumed, "So dat's da ugly bitch he's been runnin' 'round wit!!!"

What's the one car you've ever owned that you wish you'd kept? Mine was a '66 Mustang, navy blue. I can't even remember now what I traded it for, but I sure do wish I'd held onto it. Oh, and just so you know, it wasn't new when I had it -- I was still a child in 1966. I may be old, but I ain't that old.


I'm in a pinkly girly kind of mood today.


Including my shoes.

I remembered to put on my watch this morning, and I'm wearing the heretofore missing charm bracelet, and I put on most of my rings but ... forgot the wedding ring. Do you suppose there's some subtly Freudian undertone to that? Hell, yeah!



I guess I'll have to take a photo tonight of the old laptop for Puggy the Laptop Aficionado. This is my computer at work. That's my sweet pup on the desktop.
