What's in my purse? Short form: way too much.
(Items with a * are not going back in after this.... Whether I keep them or not, they're leaving the purse.)
Main pocket:
A box of Aquafresh dental gum.
My claritin.
My hard case for my eyeglasses.
Sorta-thin white woven gloves, for when the steering wheel is Too Cold To Touch.
The sunglass-addons for my glasses.
*A used ticket to see Harry Potter (from Saturday of my California visit, 'twould appear). Another from that Friday.
*A piece of Marriott notepaper with a friend's home phone number (same trip).
Bottle of acetaminophen (store brand).
Container of blue plastic brushpicks.
Electronic access card for the front door of the building where I work, in case I want to go freeze my fingers and toes off after-hours or on the weekend.
Memo notepad, with phone numbers, silly notes, etc.
Pocket sketchpad.
*Miniature notepad with various incoherent mush-code notes.
*Li-Young Lee's latest book of poetry, Book of My Nights.
*Check-in leaflet from a Marriott hotel.
*Ghiradelli dark-chocolate-with-white-mint-filling square. (This would have gone back in, except it didn't survive discovery.)
Container of spearmint tic-tacs. Another of orange.
*Several loose orange tic-tacs, having escaped their confinement. :P
Anti-fog lens cloth.
Lens cleaner spray bottle.
Mechanical pencil, lead refills, regular eraser, mechanical click-extend eraser.
Medium-size journal, in a very silly rather neon-ish book cover to protect (I hope) the nifty pressed-floral cover it really has.
*A piece of paper with part of a song whose lyrics I hate, and which I (for some reason) felt compelled to attempt to share with a friend at one point.
Purple pen, 2 black writing pens, 4 black Micron pens in various sizes.
Main pocket, sub-pocket:
Tube of betadine ointment,
Ventolin inhaler (for asthma).
Several lactaid tablet packs.
Press-through packet of several decongestant tablets.
Eyeglass repair kit.
Spare keys to each car, and a small key I have no idea what it goes to.
Side pocket, wide:
*Passenger receipt for trip to California.
*Starbucks coffee receipt.
*Gas receipt from recent drive to visit someone in Washington.
*Note of parking place at airport.
Bonus card from bead store.
Tiny turtle and frog figurines (1 each).
7 raspberry creme savers.
2 wallets, including various membership, credit, business, and id cards; a photo of Scott before the beard; a photo of Ethan before he went blond; lots of spare change (but no bills).
Side pocket, thin:
1 black writing pen.
Four tubes of lip gloss - but only two types (go figure, I hate to run out of either).
Checkbook for checking account, journal for savings account.
*Red-brown hair band.
Plastic "wallet insert", sans wallet, with inspirational little remarks on plastic cards inserted. (No, I don't ever read these....)
Pocket on one end:
(This pocket's sized to hold a cell phone, maybe.)
The wadded up 'over-the-shoulder' strap for the purse, which adjusts so poorly I'd use it only if I really needed to.
A 'dog tag' which lists my asthma and allergies to medicine, attached to a chain which loops around the loop just above the pocket (intended to attach the strap that's wadded up in this pocket, in fact).

Some potentially important drugs, generally antivert and tylenol with codeine just in case of vertigo or migraine since I can get either.
Tissues. (Hate to not have them.)
Sanitary Napkin in the little not easy to see compartment, because it's easy to carry around and every once in a while it becomes important.
Pen(s).
Little Journal.
Wallet if I'm bringing my purse because I don't have any pockets.
Possibly a book.
I usually just go out with my wallet and a tissue or two.
