My Swiss Army bag ... I use it mostly for the camera, and the my Ultra Micro Linux palmtop.

And here is what is currently in it (not pictured is the camera, which is taking the photo).

6. I hate, hate, hate carrying a purse....

In the winter, I cram stuff into my coat pockets. The rest of the year, I sling a small black leather bag (OK, PURSE!) across my chest and it holds:

cellphone
wallet
checkbook
keys
pen
mechanical pencil
a wad of receipts

and maybe some chocolate covered espresso beans when I have room left.

[zingaro]

7. I don't really "purse" well but

things are required, so I have a little crossbody sling bag. It holds:

My "wallet" which is just a card holder for my DL and ins cards, debit card, etc.
Some cash and a few receipts.
An extra key to my vehicle.
Burts Bees lipbuzz.

There is room for my phone and keys when I go places but no room for anybody else's crap, so the kids are stuck carrying their junk instead of whining for me to put it in my purrrrrrrrrrrse.

:)
