Handbag of Hell!
Well, not actually, but from my Buffista friends comes an interesting meme: what do you have in your handbag? (For the gentlemen, I suppose 'pockets' is a gender-appropriate substitute).
Let's see...
Near Outside Pocket: house keys, work pass, caffeinated gum tin containing caffeinated mints
Inner Inside Pocket: Salinated Nose Spray, container of acetaminophen and ibuprofen, Pepto Bismol pills, two bus schedules for buses from Davis Square, this month's paycheck that I still haven't deposited, and my mini-Universal Tool with knife & saw & pliers & awl & flashlight
Outer Inside Pocket: eyeglasses repair kit that I was meaning to leave at work, nail clippers, lip balm, Sudafed blisterpack, comb
Main Compartment: wallet, eyeglass case that holds two pens and a notepad, eyeglasses, checkbook, cellphone, bag of Skittles that I bought in Manchester and haven't opened yet.
Far Outside Compartment: Palm Zire 71, extra pen(s), Tic-Tac container.
Hmmm... not the girliest of pocketbooks.
