Nice pic :D

There's nothing in the one purse that I have (I'd forget it if I ever brought it outside the house :p )
In my pockets however I normally have:

- Coins
- Bubble gum (Extra)
- Various pieces of paper
- A pen
- My phone
- Kleenex

i like that purse !
i want one.
Thanks! It's kind of like a huge tote bag that's a square if you're looking down on it from the top, with pockets on every side and one pocket on the inside. All of the sides have a flower design on them.

I've made a few conventionally-shaped tote bags, but not to carry around. I've sold some, and some I made just for the heck of it.

And gypsygirl - Yeah four spiritual laws! Also, where is the line between carrying a purse and a small office? Because I'm pretty sure you're toeing it ; )

inconceivable ! plus, a handful of things that i don't even know what they are !

- a carabiner ?

- interdental pics ?

- black jelly bracelets ?

- a solid angel perfume ring ?

- an oral syringe !? ( okay, i think i know what that is... but what ?! )

i can't believe how much you fit in there.
mystery contents explained:

a carbiner : is traditionally a climbing gadget (how i was first exposed to them) but they're pretty much one of the greatest little inventions EVER. i probably have 20 and use them in a myriad of ways. if i have to temporarily suspend something (or someone, bwhahaaahahaa) for a project, connect something, etc. i usually have a couple in my bag at all times. oh, and they make great key rings as well. : )


interdental pics : no explanation necessary.

black jelly bracelets: i adore them as much now as i did when i was 16

angel solid perfume ring: my usual/signature fragrance is theirry mugler's "angel". i got the "solid fragrance ring" as a gift awhile back, and discovered that it also makes it highly portable.

i like to make sure i smell really fabulous when i go out and work in the stable and muck stalls.



oral syringes: are another of what i consider a "life hack" must have. they can neatly apply any liquid, extract and transport liquids in your purse, or be used to dose/medicate sick animals/people. i probably own 10 of them in varying sizes, and cannot stress that every pet/animal owner should have at least a couple on hand, commensurate with the size of the animal. i use the 35 cc to dose an antibiotic to a horse, flush out wounds, and they're super easy to use to give liquids to a sick animal, as well, as pictured here:

i hope that helps, lav!!! : )

random things found in CatHerder's car:

a bottle of water
a hymnal
a pocket New Testament
a tent (in trunk)
3 collections of sacred music piano arrangements, ranging from the old & stodgy to the hip & trendy
a hair scrunchy
two or three petrified french fries (under seat)
a light jacket
a book of stained glass patterns
two flashlights with dead batteries
a city map of SF, because it's more fun to maneuver through the city "old school" on road trips than to use map apps/GPS
a ball point pen
two (approx 24"/24") squares of light and dark "flesh" colored stained glass for an upcoming project
a binder of music for this upcoming Sunday service
keys to my mailbox
grape flavored chapstick (a free promotion)
Carmex - which I like but can't use just before playing the horn because it's too thick
Burt's Bees - which is NOT too thick to play right before a performance
a kazoo
choir music (community choir)
a cookie press (recent garage sale purchase)
a bike oump

So, WHEN I CARRY MY PURSE AROUND, which isn't often, here's what's in it:

-Receipts and coupons (note to self - put that somewhere where you'll remember it. Which is probably nowhere.)

-Hair stylist's business cards

- Sunglasses that I got for free at a concert

- More receipts! What? How? I don't even know.

- Flashlight

- Guitar picks

- Metallic Sharpie

- Chapstick

- Pen

- And two of those free toothbrush/toothpaste thingyjigs you get at the dentist.

- Hey, look! I found a coughdrop

- And a New Testament!

- And lastly, some hand sanitizer. I don't use hand sanitizer very often. But there are those few occasions when it's handy.

pretty much a small office. because you know, i'm all about the work!

gotz to be productive day and night. : )

seriously though, boredom is sort of my kryptonite. so the best thing that can happen for me is be prepared for virtually any scenario. like many, i have a habit of tossing things in and forgetting to fish them out later. : )

being adequately prepared when i'm away for the day is mostly a peaceful thing, and plus, i have lipgloss for any possible outfit or combination. : )

the coupons and receipts thing reminds me of the seinfeld episode with george's wallet :)

yeah... i love my jellies. i have pretty skinny, long wrists and can stack a LOT of them on. : )

plus i sometimes use them as little reminders, when i put them on my opposite wrist and move them over when the item is taken care of. sort of like a mental "to-do" list.

also, i sometimes use them to help me track my water consumption, especially on a day like this, when i am having an IV put in, and need to be well-hydrated.

That sounds cool, how do you do that? The keeping track of your hydration with the jellies?

it's easy-peasy. ok, so here's how this goes:

my usual goal for (extra) water is 8 oz x 9 (servings) = 72 oz water

i put 9 jellies on my left wrist to represent 9 total servings of water (8 oz each serving). each time i consume the said water serving, i move the bracelet to the right wrist, with the others. or take it off, altogether. : )

a good starting point for how much water to drink is .5 oz/lb of body weight, but you (probably) need extra for diluting beverages, such as caffeinated coffee.

good gravy, i mean dehydrating beverages, such as those that have a diuretic effect, i.e. caffeinated beverages.

too bad i can't blame auto-correct. or being under the influence. sigh.
