What's in your purse?

[skcin]

Or your manbag? Or do you not carry either one?

My purses are all medium size - anything too teeny & I can't fit my **** in there, anything too large (like those big hobo sacks) and I can't find a damn thing, my stuff just gets lost. My favorite purse is burnt-sienna colored suede with black leather straps - I get more comments on that one than any other purse I've ever had, and the thing only cost me $20 on sale at JC Penney's.

Current contents:
Cell
Wallet (with cash, ID, bankcard, various "shoppers" discount cards, etc.)
mp3/earphones (in a handy little carrying case that I got free from the Clinique counter )
hand lotion
hand sanitizer
chapstick
Burt's Bees tinted lip moisturizer
breath mints
pressed powder/mirror
photos of my nieces, nephew & Goddaughter
tissues
pantyliner
grocery list/coupons
TUMS
deoderant
hairbrush
nail file
Weight Watchers point calculator
3 pens
checkbook
mini Post-it notes
A watch that needs a new battery that I haven't gotten around to replacing. It's been in there for about 6 months now.
Lighter
Mini scissors

For me, its a little more of "what's NOT in your purse". Le'ssse....I don't have any pets in there, so that's NOT in my purse.
Christ, I even carry a purse holder in my purse.

Damn, Paula. You could leave the country with all that ****.
Reason # 732 I am glad to be a dude.
I am bagless.
All I need is keys, a swiss army knife, ID, a little plastic sleeve all the cards go in, and cash. Pockets do me fine.

Like Sparky, I'm good with my pockets.

Always have:
Right pocket:
- .5 mechanical pencil (I.hate.pens.)
- Cellphone
- Keys, meal card/student ID, jump drive (right hoodie pocket always & only)

Left pocket:
- Burt's Bees
- iPod, if listening (left hoodie pocket always & only)

Sometimes have:
Left pocket:
- Wallet (I hate having it in the back pocket)

In my messenger bag for school (I don't carry it with me all the time, but whatev):
- Folder with all current/non-specific work, letters in progress, etc + looseleaf paper
- Snack of some sort (usually a granola bar or two)
- Right now, three packs of Orbit (Raspberry Mint, Bubblemint, and Lemon Lime)
- Two tubes of Burt's
- Scientific calculator
- Book for those core classes where the professor says everything BUT stuff that has something to do with the course and don't matter in the longrun (currently Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk)
- More pencils, all .5 lead mechanical
- A pen or two for when I absolutely need one
- iPod if not in use
- Cough drops (Hall's cherry & Robitussin lemon & honey)
- Extra lead for aforementioned pencils
- Sometimes my laptop for note-taking, since notebooks are old meme
- Sometimes textbooks, for classes that actually use them
- Sometimes another folder, for classes where I need to be organized and such

And yeah, I think that's it.

I recently ditched the purse for a sling bag...or whatever they're called. One strap, it goes across the chest - and it's totally for guys but I don't care, they're functional.

Right now I have in mine:

Wallet
Sunglasses
lipstick
chap stick (that I never use - see Chapstick thread)
A small mirror
Tums
A pill box with ibuprofen
mp3 player
3 varieties of gum
1 reporter note pad - like a fancy one
A nice pen
small calendar


Hmm..I think that's it.
