Yes!!! Long time no post. Thanks for the inspiration S. Whatever the season, my bag/tote needs to be big enough to hold my life. I can't remember exactly when I started carrying a bag which is disturbing to me because I remember every outfit I've worn on the first day of school since 4th grade. How did I go anywhere without that familiar weight on my right shoulder? And what in the world did I stash with all that stuff??? Though its’ contents would be useless in an emergency situation (no pepper spray, alarms, first aid kit, important phone numbers), it strangely makes me feel safe. Stupid girl. So….. what’s in there?-Wallet from a shopping excursion (masked as a “medical conference” w/ Nader) in Philly. Nothing good in there. License, gift cards with values around 86 cents, first aid and CPR card, no cash, coffee punch cards.
-Sunglasses…always in case when not in use (last year’s anniversary gift)
-Lens cleaner and cloth
-My little “T” notebook (not the tech-y type) and pen for grocery lists, reminders, and random “I should really get around to…” lists (wedding album..ahem. S, can I just give you like a hundred billion dollars to do it?)
- Reminder appointment card to visit the orthodontist (today) which also would explain the mini bottle of mouthwash and the x-mas tree tooth brush in the travel case. HATE braces.
-Keys
-Breakfast bar
- New BNL album. Fab.
-Black headband (for an attempt at quick and chic)
- A bag of jewelry???? I don’t know. I never leave myself enough time in the morning for those finishing touches so I bring my favorites with me.
- Tinted lip gloss
- Cell phone
- The Diary of a Madman and Other Stories by Nikolai Gogol on loan from Ziza. Yay for Russian lit.
So what does that say about me? Unfortunately my friends are apparently even less tech-y tech-y than I (imagine that) as none have jumped on the blogger-wagon and all siblings are the face book types (whatever) which leaves no one juicy to tag. Miss Mina? No? Ok…. Soon enough.

The Russian Lit and BNL CD is a nice juxtaposition of time and space. Definitely says something.
How what's the scoop with the new album?
oooh...sparklies galore! JZ is a big fan of emptying out bags and exploring - a trait he clearly inherited from me. Even at my age, I would love to dig through the treasures in that bag of yours..try on some jewelry, test the lip gloss, flip through the pages of the books.
Speaking of which, I luurve that T book. I'm with you on the lack of techie-techie-ness. I still have my day planner from COLLEGE for frig's sake. With all the crap I stuff in that thing, it weighs too much to carry around anymore, but I cling to it nonetheless.
Great post. I think it's time the sibs join the blogosphere. Aziza should post just for the pictures alone.
i love your bag. can you tell me where you got it. real chic !

Sameena says she'll be joining soon. and you guys are like cave-people with your paper planners. sheesh, you don't even get that unique 'only-a-$200-palm-pilot-can-give-me-this' sense of panic when you drop one of those!
