i think i should clean out my bag 
Okay, some of you people (and I think you know who you are) are carrying around more stuff than I used to have in my whole bachelorette apartment. On the plus side, you’re probably very well provisioned should a natural disaster occur.
Mine’s different. I put this together specifically so I’d have everything I’d ever need in an emergency, and keep it with me (or at least in the car) at all times. It’s a big stiff-sided nylon briefcase.

I tend to carry around a LOT of stuff in my bag, so here goes!
Well, I just cleaned mine out, so this is what I had in there:
three 12-packs of gum (no, my breath isn’t that stinky, but you never know)
3 CDs (Rufus Wainwright, Led Zeppelin III, and The Edges of Twilight by the Tea Party)
a notebook
pens
my watch
wallet with a bunch of cards, receipts, and money in it
keys for the apartment and my brother’s house (in case I decide to invade my brother’s on the spur of the momemt)
three library books that I just borrowed
a birthday card for my dad (so his birthday’s not till July; I like to be prepared)
a Father’s Day card (just in case I forget later on…)
a birthday card for my friend (his birthday is a couple days from now)
bubble bath from the dollar store
a couple bags of chips (in case I got hungry)
some candy
some Minute Maid[sup]TM[/sup] apple juice
bus pass
ATM card
library cards
a book I just got from the bookstore
some reading material from home for the bus ride (Anne of the Island by Lucy Maud Montgomery)
some yogurt
a binder full of papers
a pencil case
Whew… am I ever glad I claened it out! No wonder my friend used to call it my “bowling bag”… he meant that I could stash a whole bowling kit (balls, pins, etc.) in there, I think. Let’s not get into the time he was joking around about bringing a scale to church and weighing the bag, then seeing if there were any seasonal variations in weight. (was it heavier in summer or winter?) Then there was the time he wanted to glue a set of encyclopedias to it… no thanks! :rolleyes:
My siblings call my bag “the body bag”… I think the derivation of that one is that I could carry around a dead body in there, and nobody would notice! Riiiiight…
I’ll play:
planner
Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
wallet
umbrella
cell phone
foundation
lipstick
lipbalm (2)
little pack of tissues
subway map
note to myself about books I want to buy
hand lotion
business card holder
pen
work ID
metrocard
tampons
Of course, now it’s all out of my bag…
