What's in your purse?

If you are carrying only one small purse, the following might scare you.

I often wonder why my purse(s) are so heavy. Most of the time I blame loose change, since

I have a very nasty habit just to toss the change into my purse. Never mind opening the

small change pouch that I had bought in Argentina. It's a perfect little coin purse, leather and with a zipper. Sometimes I organize (oh oh, what a dangerous word) my purse and am surprised

how many coins I have. It's usually a nice surprise. I collect somewhere 2 to 3 dollars in nickles, dimes and quarters.

So, why is my purse heavy?

Let's see, what's in my TOTE bag, never mind the purse.

And I do not understand why I have pain in my back. And furthermore, I have not even

Perhaps later, when I have sorted all out, and emptied the unnecessary stuff. That way I

might have a more reasonable content of my purse.
