What Else Did You Find 'Down There'? 1/27/17
I am having a good time with the live video feature on my phone. After you broadcast LIVE, you can post it to your Facebook site. I hope you will visit my author FB page and LIKE the page. But you can see the video lineup even without LIKING the page, I think. Stop now and go there and LIKE it. I’ll wait for you here. Here is the site: https://www.facebook.com/leestjohnauthor
Did you scroll back so far to see my farce about not being able to find my car keys? I pretended to have misplaced them. I said that hubby was out of town and if I didn’t find the only set we had (not true) before he returned, he would blow a gasket (not true.) I don’t know much at all about cars but I do know that saying and it means trouble. I could have used another metaphor, but since I was writing about cars, I thought I’d use that one.
Now, in that video I am lamenting about how I cannot find my car keys and also I realize that I cannot find my clip that carries all my charge/insurance cards. I profess how I do not carry a purse (I don’t) because I don’t like the fact that a) you can never really find anything in them either and that the bottoms of the pocketbook get so dirty with grit of some kind or another, wrappers from anything, a rogue french fry or two, pennies, and other materials that drop to the bottom, it’s nasty to the touch. At least to me. I find that gross and then I don’t want to go looking for anything any more.
And b) carrying a purse requires you keeping up with it when shopping and I mean this part to have two parts, too. Having a pocketbook while shopping means you have to keep up with it by either 1) carrying it on your shoulder and even if the purse is small or big, if it has long shoulder straps, the straps hinder you getting a good days shopping done because as much as your throw your purse backward out of your way, they eventually swing back in your frontal direction and get in the way. This hinders serious shoppers because you are going to town with those hundred of hangers on the shopping rack and this endeavor is really bothersome. 2) If not carrying your shoulder-strap purse then you must leave it in the buggy and you certainly can’t shop that way either. It’s like a child sitting in the buggy seat. You keep watch on your purse and you can’t get any real shopping done.
So, no, I don’t carry a purse. I carry money/bank charge card/insurance card/ library card/ discount fundraiser discount card/ Kroger plus card/ driver’s license/ Sam’s card/ Credit Union identification card/ old no-longer-working charge card clipped in my money clip. Where do I keep that, you ask? In my bra. With my car keys. And maybe my lipstick. And sometimes my phone (although I know better to put that there).
I hate pocketbooks! My brush, more lipstick, nail file, loose change, tissues, or other expired fundraiser discount cards all stay in my car. What do I need a purse for? I have a mirror in my car, too, that lights up. I am not lacking and wanting anything in a purse that a store’s bathroom or my car can’t give me. What do I need an old cumbersome purse for? Or even a small purse. The above reasons are enough to not wanting to carry all that extra crap.
So, the video went on to tease not finding my keys…and also my charge card. Then realizing where I might have put them, like I always do, there were more treasures to be found with those twin girls: eyelash curler, a really LONG nail file, lipstick, and multitude of other things that shouldn’t be housed in a bra. But storage is storage. And since I did find my car keys and money clip, I am going shopping!
