pOcket book throw up




Ah yes, the chaos that is a pocket book.

For something that is supposed to prove helpful for one's daily activities it can prove to be a stressful and exasperating object if you don't keep your cool.
Then again, that could be an applicable statement for most things.

I find the most troublesome moments with my pocket book to be when:

  • reaching for my wallet and "personal" items fall out for all to see.
  • looking for my keys and they're nowhere to be found.
  • scrambling around for the phone when it's ringing.
I've solved a majority of these problems by:
  • buying pocketbooks with hooks for my keys
  • having an external pocket for my phone
  • keeping those personal objects in zipped up compartments.

All in all, I enjoy my beautiful,cool to the touch, leather bag.
It makes me feel as if I am on a safari in Machu Picchu (which I have always wanted to explore).

Every bag needs a good throw up once in a while. A cleanse for both you and your bag.
There's something about dumping everything out of your bag that releases a certain tension.
I and my bag feel "loads" better.

The insides of my bag have gotten a little batty this week:

  • Two sets of keys
  • Two sets of headphones
  • Two small composition notebooks (one with a panda sticker for Zoo topics)
  • Three pencils and two pens
  • A butterfly necklace
  • Eye drops
  • One organic green tea bag
  • Altoids
  • Cat planner
  • One red kerabeaner
  • One Ipod
  • oh wait, another pen.


Yes, some very useful stuff, but a bitch to carry.
In most situations, it's nice to go about with just a pocket wallet, keeping the shoulders and hands free, but most people will find themselves wishing for their old friend was back in the sling of things.

Bag or no, I keep walks and evening events without a bag and when I'm at work I bring one.
That seems to keep things carefree.

So here's to each and their own...bag.
