What Does a KickAss Chick Carry In Her Purse? Kristi Rose Opens Up On #ProjectPurseDump

Hey y'all. It's my turn to share what I lug around in my giant purse. I don't always carry such a monstrosity but after I had kids the size of my purse grew exponentially and has stayed that way :-).

First, I have to share that I scored such a good deal on this purse, like 80% off, and my daughter found the matching wallet which cost me $10. So wow- that never happens to me. I've never even had a purse and wallet that match so I feel like a girl who is definitely wearing her big girl panties. 

 Ok, let's get to it. Starting at the top and going clockwise this is what you're looking at. 

1. Giant pink folder is my passion planner. I know. I know. We have smart phones but it's just not the same as writing down everything in the moment. My passion planner tells me what to do and when to do it. For all things work, child and writing. 

 Sometimes, I swap this out for my laptop. I never carry both or my purse would weigh 10 pounds. 

 2. Slim black case is my stun gun. Yep, I carry a stun gun. Sometimes two. And I'm not afraid to use it. Veronica Mars is my idol. 

 3. Brown case with rubber band is a wallet of sorts. I'm a couponer and this keeps me organized for that. I once bought a year's worth of toiletries including razors for $34.28. No lie. 

 4. Matching wallet! Holla!

 5. Gum- never leave home without out it. Yes, I chew it obnoxiously. Sorry. 

 6. Pens and pencils.

 7. Chick-fil-a card to get a discount. Cuz I eats there a lot :-) (she says with an accent)

 8. My author postcards and business cards but the truth is I'm always nervous about handing them out. 

 9. Packet of tea and honey sticks. I probably drink 4-5 cups of tea a day. Hot and cold.

 CENTER MASS

 1. Ear buds

 2. Lipstick. I usually carry more but my purse tipped in my car so the rest are rolling around on the passenger seat floorboard. I only grabbed up my favorites. 

 3. Motrin, hand sanitizer, and lotion that smells like yummy cake. 

 That's it. That's me in a nut shell. Oh, Yes, I carry feminine products. I see here that I have forgot to reload on those. Whoops. 

 Thanks Tracey and Jessica for letting me be a part of this. I love having this insider's look at everyone's purse :-).

Riding St. George: Regency Sex Terms You Won't Find in Austen

I’m a big fan of profanity. Some people aren’t crazy about, but I fucking love it. I was one of those kids that makes parents uncomfortable; at age nine I had a vocabulary that wouldn’t have been too far out of place in the navy. It’s not that I had bad parents; my parents are great, they just had their priorities straight. Swearing was not at the top of their list of concerns, and they didn’t confuse it with lack of intelligence or disrespect. Profanity can’t be reduced to abuse or threatening language; it can also be used effectively for levity or, if you’re a writer, to inject some authenticity into your work (but we’ll get to that). I like Stephen Fry’s take on swearing here: It’s important to know how to swear properly. Nothing’s going to make you sound more awkward than dropping an f-bomb in an unnatural place. Likewise, all Americans should know how to say ‘twat’ properly ( rhymes with cat. Trust me ). Unfortunately, American profanity is relatively limited when comp

Executioner, Death, or The Devil Himself? The Legend of Jack Ketch

Image
Jack Ketch in The Plotters Ballad (1678-9). Ketch is seen right of center holding a rope and an axe. Jack Ketch, otherwise known as John Ketch or Richard Jaquet, began his twenty-three year career as London’s leading executioner in 1663. He was not the only executioner dispatching the condemned at Tyburn, but he was the most infamous, earning a reputation for brutality remarkable even for a man in his profession. Even after his death in 1686, his name became slang for any executioner, the devil, and even death itself. Overtime, his reputation took on such epic proportions until that he became a sort of bogeyman. So who was he?  Like many executioners, Ketch spent much of his early life on the wrong side of the law, and is known to have spent time in Marshalsea Prison. Little is definitively known about his origins. He is first mentioned in the Old Bailey proceedings in January 1676 in the case of a man who was executed for a murder taking place in Whitechapel, and who also killed
