What's in your purse?

I read about this meme on OhMommy’s blog and thought it would be fun to participate, and then April tagged me to do it! So here goes, I have a large purse and I get some grief for it from some of my friends but it allows me to stuff just about anything in it; since my diaper bag carrying days seem to be behind me.

I am a bit of a coach whore and I will admit it, ever since my first bag 15 years ago I have not gone back, so when Princess Lauren asks for hers which I know will happen way before it should I will have a plethora of bags for her to choose from albeit used Coach but Coach nonetheless.

Tada!!!! My Purse!!

And now the inside of my purse along with the entire contents dumped.

Now for the individual stuff, below you see my loose change, beauty supplies, molah or lack there of, my glasses or eyes as my youngest says then then the work related stuff which by the way while doing this I realized my Crackberry blackberry was missing.



So really a relativly borning purse I think, but let me know what you think and instead of selecting only a few to be tagged I tag anyone who reads this and I can see who you are!!!!! I have my ways!!!! So leave a post and let me know when you post your purse!

Middle Name Meme

Thought I would have a little fun today and Smitty76 helped me to do that by tagging me for this meme!

Here are the rules:

You must post the rules before you give your answers. You must list one fact about yourself for each letter of your middle name. Each fact must begin with that letter. If you don't have a middle name, just use your maiden name. After you've been tagged, you need to up-date your blog with your middle name and answers. At the end of your post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and need to read your blog for details).

My middle name is Bieniek (it's a family name don't laugh

B- Balances many things at once, no one told me that was a prerequisite for being a mom!

I- Ice cream, if eating it could be a sport I would be an Olympian!

E- Everyone's buddy, at least I like to think I am?

N- Not fond of backstabbing, especially by family. (This is a huge pet peeve of mine)

I- Imagines a world of peace and harmony (hey one can dream)

E- Enthusiastic about life and what it holds from my children.

K- Karma, I believe in it!

So, now it's my turn to share this fun. I'm tagging the following peeps, because I would like to know a bit more about them because I think they're pretty cool!

Friday wrap up!

First I want to thank all the people who left me comments and or sent me emails about my Tuesday-Toot post. I was a little nervous to share this as I am not one who likes to be in the spot light. Winning my CEO award filled me with pride and your comments and emails filled me with that same pride this week. Thank You!

So if you recall I wrote about my daughters Kindergarten progress report, the meeting with the teacher was to happen Tuesday this week but because of weather we postponed till Thursday. So yesterday we had our sit down with the teacher and she fully explained the evaluation process. Which now makes much more sense; when we asked here why they don't given that explanation to they parents when they give the progress report she said she wishes they would, but for some reason they don't and she has brought it up to the school administrators many times. Bottom line my Beautiful Lauren is doing great and she is on the way to mastering all of the kindergarten objectives and then some. However she still needs to learn to focus more on the task at hand, she tends to get sidetracked very easily. Anyone have tips? I am all ears!
