As I'm cleaning around, I find a pocketbook I have not used in several months, but is nonetheless very full.
Here is what I found in my pocketbook:
- Scissors from kindergarden
- Pens and lanyards from conferences around the nation
- A couple of packets of sunflower seeds and some sugar in the raw
- My very first wallet and some packets of tea
- An old Pepsi cap I always meant to give my brother
- A coin pouch bought from a Filipino woman at a concert
- A piece of candy from a child
- Some gift cards I've saved for crafts and a piece of cement I picked up at some beach
- Bracelets and necklaces made by my sister and I
- Old receipts and bookmarks and theater tickets
- Hebrew vocabulary cards
- LOTS of highlighters and pencils
- A fork from who knows when
- A sewing kit, guitar pick, and a barnacled sea snail shell
- Band-aides, antibiotic, and more besides
- And a handful of crayons
