Pocket Truths

September 27, 2009

What truths about you are hidden in your pockets? This is a get-to-know-you meme. Instructions: empty your jeans’ pockets, or a pocket of your purse or jacket. List what you find, and what those items say about you.

Okay. Here’s mine….

  1. guitar pick – because I love my Ibanez, and because I did the children’s music at church this morning, and also a little bit because I just like to have one with me cuz it reminds me of the music. Music is the doctor.
  2. seaglasssmall piece of green seaglass – because I can’t NOT pick up seaglass when I find it, and because the cooler autumn air means I actually wore these jeans to the beach the other day. Long pants – yikes! Still had flip-flops on, though. Not ready to let go of summer just yet.
  3. a neatly folded tissue, just in case – because I have allergies, and because I am a mom. I was also a Girl Guide once upon a time and still live by that well-ingrained motto, be prepared. The neatly folded part is because if I folded it haphazardly or *gasp* just stuffed it into my pocket, I would have to pull it back out and fold it properly. I’m a little odd that way.

That’s all. I tag anyone & everyone willing to share their pocket truths. (Please post a link in the comments if you do this on your blog so I can check out how weird you are. Er, I mean… so I can learn more fascinating things about you!)

Peace….

      Glad to know you take the time to fold your tissues neatly, too. It’s important that we have order in these small things, as heaven knows we don’t get to control much else in life, lol.

      Thanks for playing. ;)

    Only another neatly folded tissue in my pants’ pocket (what??? does this compulsion run in the family?) so I checked my jacket pocket, too: a quarter (for grocery store carts), a ballpoint pen (a writer’s necessity… the notebook’s in my purse), and a wrapped candy (anise… my DH doesn’t like them and obviously gave me his after our last restaurant meal), AND another neatly folded tissue plus one used, scrunched up one. I’m not sure what all this says about me. Obviously I ought to clean my jacket pockets out more often.

    I am so boring. All I have in my pocket is my cell phone. My purse, on the other hand, is so full it’s bursting….

    I wish I had sea glass!

    I usually just have my cell phone and whatever the baby has recently handed me.
