I’ve carried a purse for probably 10 years and have always maintained that the ONLY reason I do so is that I’m Diabetic, so I have to carry all of my supplies around. My purse started smelling bad about a month ago. Nothing really disgusting, it is just that if you only have one purse and carry it everywhere and put it down on floors in airports, and churches and in parking lots and restaurants, it starts to stink after a while. Craig suggested washing it in the dishwasher, which proved to be nothing less than genius (reason number 694,493 that I'm married to Craig). I have, historically, destroyed my purses by putting them in the clothes washer which invariably ruins the purse and then I have to buy a new one (which is a really good tactic if you don’t like your purse and WANT to get a new one. I do like my purse and don’t want a new one.)
I unloaded my purse and the pile looked like this (I DID just get home from a trip, which means that lots of random things found their way into my normally organized purse...lol): 
For those of you who don’t like “Where’s Waldo” or “I Spy” (well, first of all, I don’t know who you are and you probably don’t enjoy my blog anyway), here are the photos of the things I actually kept in my purse after sorting through everything.
This is what I carry for my Diabetic needs (see Dr. Christensen, I do have that bill for my labs...just haven't got around to paying it yet):
Here’s everything else that is in my purse.
Huh, I guess at this point, I have to abandon my “I only carry a purse because I’m Diabetic” rationale and just accept that I carry a purse because I’m an adult woman and I can’t run home at various points in the day if I need stamps or a bobby pin, and I forget everything if I don’t have a planner, and I wouldn’t make it through the day if I wasn’t carrying a pen in my purse.
