What's in your bag?

I'm indulging in nothingness as a way of escaping the monotony of every day life. I came across the post of a fellow blogger regarding the contents of our purses and wallets. Obviously, this is not the most intellectual of topics, but honestly, ZenDenizen is right. There are whole blogs devoted to this topic. Cosmo always wants to know what a star carries in her purse. And ladies: haven't you ever seen a really stylish or powerful woman and wondered what's in her purse? I tend to wonder what their secrets are. Is she as perfect as she appears, or is her beauty less planned? What kind of gloss makes her lips that full, how does she keep her skin flawless, does she carry a lot of receipts or is she neat?

My bag is an old emerald green, faux croc tote from the Limited with a velvet bow and handles that I've had sewn back on. In it I've got:

  • Receipt from FedEx for a package I sent to my younger brother, Ryan, and a grocery list
  • L'Occitane hand cream
  • Car keys and house keys, held together by a carabiner in case I ever find myself needing to rock climb one day.
  • iPod
  • Orange highlighter
  • Fresh Sugar lip balm
  • Aleve
  • Orbit peppermint gum
  • Bobbi Brown lip gloss
  • Blackberry
  • Various coins and bobby pins
  • My Calvin Klein wallet, complete with no money, stamps, coins, and a picture of my sister
  • Ativan, thank god.
  • A chocolate peanut butter Balance bar
  • Box of matches from Il Cortile in Little Italy

Okay, so my list isn't that exciting. Anyone have more interesting things in their bags or wallets?

I don't have my purse with me right now, but my "school bag" so it's even nerdier than usual:

cell phone
wallet that doesn't fit flat bills in it (which is fine since I never have cash anyway...)
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter
In an Antique Land
The Long Goodbye
Geurillas
file folder of JSTOR print outs
wrinkled copies of fiction submissions
no pen (oops)
filofax
real fork
keys, not on a chain (yes, just loose)
empty gum tin
moleskin notebook
powercord

...pretty boring, but also, sadly, pretty typical

bridge, i seem to remember that me & ev had a song about you ("fat slut, you're really, really fat"?) so i wouldn't be talking trash about kaitlyn.

ap, it wouldn't happen to be in your "chicago" duffel, would it?

zen, of course--anything's better than work!
