my purse went on a field trip

on sunday, mum and dad flew off to england from toronto.  they're planning on heading to india for a couple of weeks to shop for my brother's wedding.  hooray, new outfits for me!

while we were getting ready to leave for the airport, i started searching high and low for my purse.  then i realised.. it's in the glove compartment of the suv.. which heren, my brother, is driving.. back home to ottawa.. ugh.  luckily, by that time he had only made it to pickering because of the crazy traffic on the 401.  so he turned around and headed to scarborough because dad's sister lives right off the 401.  since she and her family were with us in brampton, heren dropped off my purse at her neighbour's house.

now that my purse was on the other side of the city, how was i going to get it back?  even though my car keys were in my purse i had a spare set of keys at home.  so dharmesh, my cousin, drove my car, with my parents and i, to the airport.  from the airport, dharmesh and i drove to scarborough to our aunt's house.  GOT MY PURSE!  from scarborough, i drove to thornhill to drop dharmesh off at home.  from thornhill, i headed home to brampton.  *sigh* i got home at 10pm and felt shattered.  funny thing is, the entire time i was without my purse i felt kind of useless.. i had no access to my money since all my cards and cash were in my purse.  and well.. what can you do without money?!

i've learned my lesson though.  when someone suggests to take your purse in case you have to drive, i'll just take out my license and stick it in my phone's case.  this way i won't be pennyless if i happen to forget my phone and licence..
