I have an intense hatred of carrying bags. I enjoy shopping for purses, but the actual carrying has some problems: the straps are perpetually slipping off my shoulder, unless there is a decent amount of weight in the bag- but the amount of weight to keep the bag in place is enough to make my shoulders severely cranky in a short period of time. I also have a bad habit of setting things down and forgetting them, which is problematic when the thing you're forgetting has all the important things in it. I created a workaround by buying bags in bright colors so they'd be harder to overlook, but it's still annoying.
I was always jealous of my ex, who could throw his phone, keys, wallet, and chapstick into his jeans pockets and be ready. Most of the clothing I like does not come with adequate pockets, which is obviously frustrating (but why would they give us pockets if they can sell us a purse for every outfit?)
My messenger bag currently contains: - phone & earbuds - wallet - chapstick - housekeys & little pocketknife - inhaler - a pen and small notebook (usually a little Moleskin) - a travel bottle of hand lotion - sunglasses
I don't really want to carry much more than that- tea bags and a snack will probably get added, as they are both fantastic ideas- but I would love to have something small to keep my hands occupied when I am bored. Unfortunately yarn is a little larger than I'd like to haul around, especially because I'm planning to switch from a messenger to a small holster bag. (Hands free! Evenly distributed shoulder pressure!) My bead-weaving is small enough, but seed beads and public areas are not often a great combination.
