Ok, I’ve got 4 keyrings, and 2 keychain quick disconnect thingys so that I can join the chains together as needed.

#1 Personal keyring - lite

  • car key
  • house key
  • female side of quick disconnect

#2 Personal keyring - heavy

  • car key
  • house key
  • mailbox key
  • mom’s house key
  • key to fire safe
  • gym membership tag
  • female qd

#3 Work keyring

  • office door key
  • desk key
  • computer lock key
  • male side of qd

#4 Fiance keys

  • building front door key
  • top lock key
  • bottom lock key
  • mail key
  • male side of qd

When I leave in the morning, I just pick the rings I need for the day, join them up, and head out.

Ive got two rings, one has my car key and a keychain that was a sample from a leash (as in dog leash) company, which is something like four inches of a cute-but-not-barfy-cutsey ladybug patterned dog leash nylon looped back upon itself, making a two or three inch tab that’s great for grabbing keys. Anyway, the loop and the car key are on a single ring, easily detachable for loaning the key to a repair shop guy, etc.
Attached to that is a ring with a bottle opener, a house key, some other unidentifiable housekey, the key to Mr. Armadillo’s car, a key to SisterArmadillo’s car, and a nifty antique skeleton key from MamaArmadillo’s antique shop. I find it mildly amusing to keep it in with the rest of the ordinary keys, although it makes a nice keychain-thingie in and of itself.

The key to my house, the key to my workplace, a key for a padlock (the whereabouts of which are unknown), and two grocery store discount tags.

Key to my house, my car, my car’s trunk, luggage, bike lock, wine locker, husband’s car, husband’s other car, and the office.

Car keys, Car remote, Aparment keys, Copps card, Mailbox key, key to some lock I don’t recall, and the leather 82nd patch.

Okay, one is just my car keys: ignition, door and clicker gizmo.

My work keys have a small leather folder w/ various useful cards in the pockets and 14 keys on the ring. Yep. 14, and all of them necessary.

My personal ring only has 5 keys on it: several house keys (different locks), luggage key, post office box key. Attached to the ring is a small pair of nail clippers (very handy) and a little peweter book “charm” on a chain. It has Rachel Carson on the cover, and a quote from her on the back: “Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find strength that will endure as long as life lasts.”

I have my car keys and that’s all.

keyring: small geode on a chain
keys: usual boring car/house assortment
other stuff: library card and my mother’s old roller skate key

Aw…I have keyring envy. I just have my room key, mailbox key, and access card.
