And I'mma stealing it right fucking now!
My purse has three pockets; I will show one pocket's contents at a time.
Pocket #1 (the front)
address book (paper; yes, they still make these!)
business card holder (other people's cards, not mine)
gym weight/exercise notebook (gotta know what weight to use on what machines, or what size free weights to pick up)
spare house & car keys
mini double-ended crochet hook (maddie, git yer mind out of the gutter!)
***********************************************************************************
Pocket #2 (the middle)
2 asthma inhalers (depending on the severity of the attack)
a bottle of aleve
a hairbrush
my keyring
a pen
my driving glasses
a flash drive (contains my company's quickbooks file [in case of an office fire])
a clear makeup bag with small items (think bandaids and cough drops); but no makeup since I don't wear that shit
***********************************************************************************
Pocket #3 (the back)
my wallet
my car insurance/registration card holder (nope, ain't gonna show my house address)
***********************************************************************************
Notice there are no techno gadgets ANYWHERE! Don't need 'em, don't want 'em!
Now it's YOUR turn; show us your essentials!
I'd show mine but I don't carry a wallet; I use an antique silver business card case as a wallet for my ID and one credit card.
ReplyDeleteThat's all I need.
no man bag, huh? spouse carries a wallet only; no man bag for him either. wish I could do the same, but...
DeleteDear me.
ReplyDeleteMy business bag is a bricolage too big to list. time to tidy it up.
"there's work to be done!"
Delete:)
Interesting and very functional. Except for that mysterious crochet hook. I notice you don't carry crochet yarn. So do you use the hook like a ninja star or something to put out an attacker's eye? Do tell!
ReplyDeleteno, I use it to fix knitting mistakes if I happen not to have a full-size crochet hook on my person.
DeleteA swiss army knife that I have to remember to take out every time I go into a school.
ReplyDeleteegad!
DeleteYou are obviously much more organized than I am. I cram half of my stuff in pockets...and I lose the other half. Men don't have purses, but we sure as hell need them....
ReplyDeletethere ARE man bags, or "murses", out there. are you trying to impress the boyz by stuffing your pockets? :)
Deleteyeah, but I don't come cheap! :)
ReplyDeleteyou would be surprised what that lil ole tool can do in a pinch!
So you don't keep the sex toys in your handbag?
ReplyDeleteoh no, dear ape; the ones I have are too big for my small handbag! ;-)
DeleteWouldn't it be more convenient to use a suitcase to lug all that around?
ReplyDeleteit only looks like a heavy load, dear raybeard. it's actually quite light to carry.
DeleteI haven't carried one of my bags in ages. That would make my essentials my keys, wallet and smartphone.
ReplyDeletewell, girlfriend, time to break out a purse! :)
DeleteI had the feeling you traveled light.....but where is the little black book???? I plan to do this post too soon.
ReplyDeleteit's all in the address book!
DeleteMy mom never carried a big purse but she always seemed to have everything in it, especially Kleenex. I don't have a man bag or a wallet. I usually have some cash, driver's license, insurance card, two American Express cards and a Visa card in my pocket. RJJS
ReplyDeleteyou tread lightly. unfortunately, I cannot stick one of my asthma inhalers in my pants pocket; it would feel like a dildo! ;-)
