Maili's bag meme

jmc_bksMaili started it, then Rosario did it. Since I read curiously what was in each of their bags, it seems only fair to empty out my own.
No photo, because my only camera is the old fashioned kind, requiring that film be developed. I know, way behind the times. But I use it only on vacations, so I haven't been motivated to buy a new one.
Back to the meme:
*wallet: it is old, old leather, crammed full of coins and receipts and a little bit of cash.
*bundle of envelopes: this week's mail that I haven't sorted. There were a couple of bills to pay today, so I swiped the bundle off the table and grabbed...
*checkbook. I don't use the bank that is stamped onto the old, soft leather case, but I like it, so I keep using it.
*Ceremony in Death: I'm still re-reading the series in an effort to break out of my reading slump.
*e-bookwise reader. In case I feel like the slump is over. It's got lots of unread books just waiting for me.
*Ahlan wa Sahlan. Textbook still in the bag from class.
*stenopad: full of notes from class.
*Hawaiian Islands lip balm: the label has come off, but it is citrus-scented and works wonderfully.
*a variety of pens and pencils, some with caps, some without, with varying degrees of sharpness
*empty glasses case, which is disturbing, since I thought the glasses (for driving and computer work) were in there. Where are they, then?
*MARC pass and crumpled Metro fare card
*comb, emery board, tissues and tampon in little plastic baggie. You never know when you might need any of them.
*cell phone that needs to be charged.
*menu/order form from Patisserie Poupon, the French bakery in town. I'm ordering one of their William Pear chocolate tortes as birthday cake while The Biochemist and The Chemist are in town.
*dangly amethyst earrings -- I thought I lost these! I couldn't find them anywhere! Yay!
That's a lot of stuff. My only excuse is that the bag in question is actually a tote bag. I need to be able to shove an umbrella and my lunch into the bag I carry, so a pocketbook or purse doesn't really work for me. Regular handbag items kept in zippered compartment, other stuff out in pockets/sections that don't zip.
Wow, that was really much more information about me than you really wanted, wasn't it?

Re: some reading suggestions
Date: 2006-11-28 07:48 pm (UTC)Thanks for your suggestions. I've tried Linnea Sinclair, with mixed results, but have Accidental Goddess TBR still. Hadn't heard of Elizabeth Kerner.
Cheers,
