My MCP (heap and all)

Wendy over at Tales From The Motherhood is having a contest that ends tomorrow called The Most Cluttered Purse. Now I know I should be posting my Date Your Mate post today...but I'm sorry. I just have to enter this contest. I'm not saying I've got it in the bag {wink} but when your purse weighs 7 pounds, you've got to at least be in the running!

So please forgive me, Date Your Mate will be back in full force manana. Today, I present for all your amazement, humor and horror, My Most Cluttered Purse.

Proof is in the poundage.

And in the Heap.

And now for the itemized ridiculousness.
The Obvious: Sunglasses, photo wallet, My Hobo (love it!), car keys, and 2 checkbooks.

The Paperwork: Jr. Kindergarten newsletter, receipt from our hotel in Santa Barbara, gift card I never signed for wedding in Santa Barbara, programs from wedding, Ralphs, Jack In the Box, and TJ Maxx receipts, school pic forms, and store coupons (that I always save and never use!)

The Cut and Dye: 6 pens and a pair of kid scissors. Just in case I need to sign something in six different colors and then "remove top half for your records."

The Electronics: My cell phone, my cell phone case (yes they were separate in the purse) old camera (not the one I presently use) camera case for my new camera, camera battery charger for the car.

The Pretty: Girly bow, hairbrush, a few lipglosses (one without a top), blush brush, Neosporin, Mary Kay compact, and my make-up bag (which is hilarious b/c I wear make-up about once a month!)

The Munchies: baggie of cheerios, a handful of skittles, M&M's and jelly beans, gum, a chocolate Santa (floating around since Christmas), a fruit roll, and a bag of Teddy Grahams.

But the bag of Teddy Grahams only had this in it! So really, I guess it's just trash.

The Babyproof: Wipes, an open plastic egg (which is, I assume, where the handful of candy came from) red washable marker, blue harmonica, My Little Pony ornament, Boots keyfob, and a bib crusted with old dry spit-up.

The Mommyproof: Love how it's called "All Day Relief" HA! Not sure what this says about me but Yes, I have aspirin and a wine opener in my purse. Hey - you get thru your day, I'll get thru mine!

The Random & CHING: A few hair accessories, a straw, and a buck70 in change.

Now you understand why I had to enter Wendy's MCP Competition. Now I understand why I have cronic neck and sholder pain! Do you have a MCP too? Or are you "that girl" who keeps a kept pocketbook. (Brooke - if your purse is anything like your car, no need to enter!)

You have until tomorrow at 5PM Pacific to enter Wendy's contest. If you honestly have a more cluttered purse then me, PLEASE enter. I now desperately need to save some face!
