Alright, I’m at work, but in my pockets right now:

*chapstick (blistex lip tone, to be fair)
*eyedrops
*cell phone
*pen
*3 naproxen pills wrapped in a tissue
*memo pad for work crap
*bobby pins
*next month’s work schedule
*football picks for this weekend

And yes, I’m female. I’m a purse despising female, though.

I’ve got my wallet-purse-thing, gum, sunscreen (for the super rare sunny day), pen, mini notebook, chapstick, folding knife (for utilitarian uses. Stop looking at me like that.), and a oft-neede Tide pen. Oh! and a sewing kit I never use.

AAAHH! I bought a pair of pants without pockets. What on earth was I thinking???

Anyhoo, my kid brother has earned the nickname “Pockets” because all of his pants have at least 8. In case you were wondering, the contents of his pockets weigh a minimum of 2 pounds. I’m still trying to get him to give up his plentiful pockets and buy a man-purse.

I’ll play!
In my pocket: my phone.
In my purse:
2 checkbooks
an envelope with receipts
Pens that co-habitate and reproduce overnight – like wire hangers in a closet.
2 wallets – one slim for bills and credit cards and one fat overstuffed with library, book store, membership, calling, video store, etc types of cards.
A Minnie Mouse change purse for coins only
small makeup purse
2 pocket knives (the small one has scissors, the big one does not)
small first aid kit (yes, actually, I AM a Girl Scout, thanks for asking)
a watch
keys
tissues
comb
sunglasses

I used to carry a much larger purse so I would have room for the current book I am reading. I ended up stuffing it full of everything else and still not having room for my book. I downsized.

I love this post. A few years ago I switched from being a pocket only girl to a purse only girl. I recently added a cute bag to the mix but I only use it on work days and I mostly carry art stuff and books in it. So here’s what I carry with me:

Purse – Wallet, date book, checkbook, mini notebook, small nail care kit (clippers and a file), key chain with two pocket knives, small hairbrush, work ID, pen, tampon, four types of lip balm, two lip glosses, and one lip tint.

I don’t know why I carry so much lip stuff
