What junk is contained in a wallet.

So very recently the question came up for a writer's group. What is in a man's wallet? The few men responded before they asked, "So what is in a woman's wallet/purse?" So I thought I'd tell you all as well.

So, my purse contains:

seven pens
checkbook
transaction register
moist wipe things
this little plastic hamster that I don't know why is in there
three band-aids

In wallet:
receipts
the results from my drive test that was forever ago
post-it notes
a statement of my tuition to CNA school. I'm keeping it because if I get employed at a sponsoring hospital/facility within a year of taking the class (for example if I do end up working at Overlake, I get it refunded)
Museum of flight wristband also from forever ago
scripture mastery cards from Old and New Testament
Family picture
money
CareFresh hamster bedding coupons
coupon for Baby Formula--it was one of those ones that "You WON!" at Safeway
change
a phone number for a friend
a movie stub graveyard (Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (as well as Sarah's from that), Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skill (x2, because I went with Brayden and then again with Caleb), National Treasure 2, Enchanted, The Bee Movie, Spiderwick Chronicles)
Nursing Assistant Registered Card (Issued by the WA State DOH)
First Aid Card
CPR Card
YMCA Card
Health Insurance Cards
Driver's License (it's vertical though)
Credit Union MEmbership card
Business card for some bank lady, I don't know what she does
Inglemoor ASB card
Stake Dance Card (and an expired one)
limited use temple recommend
An old copy of my driver's license from before I got the plastic one
debit card
a random acts of kindness card
Thespian Society Membership Card
Library Card
French Alliance Card
Blood Donor Card
Business Card of my work (the Administrator there)
Business Card for my CNA School
A picture of Christ with the YW values on the other side


And that is my purse. I'm sure you all feel enlightened! And it was useful to get to clean it out.

Over-analyzing Disney Movies: The Little Mermaid--Why Eric is White.

Image
I have recently noticed a trend of just purely over-analyzing Disney movies.  In this category, I also include the fascination with photoshopping Disney characters to swap genders, races, or eras, as well as making princesses have "realistic" body shapes (which is something I could write a whole other post about, and it wouldn't be pretty.  Spoiler alert:  I find it to be one of the most unempowering trends of recent years).  However, I sometimes wonder at how much people are reading into Disney movies.  Today, I'm going to over-analyze their over-analysis. I recently read that the fact that Eric is a white prince is a representation of how we white-wash racial expectations for our children.  I'm not even sure what that sentence means.  It seems to have a lot of buzz words.  But I'm going to show you today, using evidence from the film, why Prince Eric is, in fact, the correct color. (I will, however, say that Eric is the only Disney prince wh...

Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!

James Joyce is my kind of guy. He made puzzles that I like to think are just for me. He was a great lover of languages, and he is sometimes called the father of a literary technique called polyglotism. This is when you insert other languages in there. Just 'cuz. So, in James Joyce's wonderful story, "Eveline" there is a phrase that nobody knows what it is. Even to this day. "Derevaun Seraun! Derevaun Seraun!" Many people believe it to be corrupted Irish Gaelic. Needing a break from homework, I have approached this by taking the words and then transliterating them into Irish Gaelic, trying to create Irish Gaelic that would be spoken by someone of this status in this time in Ireland. Nationalist, but not educated enough to actually understand all the ins and outs of the language. I came up with two possible phrases that I find very probable. And I'm not pretending to solve the mystery. If Joyce experts over the years have not discovered the mean...

What does it mean to be a Russell?

Image
As many know, most European families (not all, but most) have a coat of arms, a crest, a motto, all that good stuff. So, I decided to look a bit into what being a Russell means. And maybe I'll do the same for Hatches, because I am a Hatch too. The last name Russell is Scottish and means "Red-headed" and derives from the Norman name of Roussel. The Russells are a well-respected Highland Scot clan, complete with Scottish crest and tartan: The motto on the crest "virtus sine macula" means "Virtue without blemish." As Scotland incorporated more and more into England, the Russells became nobility in that world as well, and were thus presented with a coat of arms: And yes, the motto written on that one is "che sara sara." You've got to admit, that's pretty gosh-darn cool. It really does mean "Whatever will be, will be." And in honor of that:
