A Book- finally got this one from the library.
Mini Happy Planner- by far my new favorite planner! I just tried it for the first time this year and I don't think I'm ever going back. I like that it's small enough to carry around without breaking my back but big enough to fit everything I want/need to write down. I have the horizontal layout, and use a PaperMate Profile pen, which has become the only pen I'll use these days.
Lunch- I've gotten pretty good about bringing my lunch to work Monday-Thurs (Fridays I usually order delivery or go out with coworkers). It's usually either a sandwich or leftovers from the night before's dinner. I should probably get a new lunch bag, but for now I just use plastic.
iPod- yes, I still have an old school iPod Nano 5th Generation with radio and video capabilities and I love it. I don't know what I'm going to do if something happens to it since Apple doesn't make it anymore! ::knocks wood::
A Hair Clip, Aleve, a tampon, and Sunglasses
Wallet
My wallet contains...a lot of random shit. Of course there are the basics- cash, ATM card, driver's license, my work ID and change. Then there's my commuting stuff like my train ticket and Metro cards (for when I run into NYC). I have business cards from my rep at TD Bank and for my local liquor store that delivers, a TJ Maxx and LOFT gift card, my Starbucks and Pita Pit rewards card, and my library card.
And then there's sentimental stuff, such as old train tickets from when I went to the cemetery and Long Branch with my mom, the ferry ticket from Coronado in San DiegoThe Hobbit and Ghostbusters movie tickets, Blue's old work ID, an old love note from Blue, and a prayer card. I also keep a $5 spot hidden in one of the back pockets, and since I'm all about transparency, I just found a condom from God knows when which I'm throwing out now!
What's some weird stuff you've found in your bag?
I used to be the QUEEN of random/excessive amounts of stuff in my bag. Not having to commute to work/living in the city and not wanting to have to watch my bag everywhere has helped with some serious downsizing and now I mostly just wristlet it or sometimes go with a crossbody. Always have ID, credit card, metro card, a hair tie and chapstick though. Literally can never leave home without chapstick.
ReplyDeleteI like that you carry the essentials. I have really cut down on all the crap I carry in my purse too. Well, except now I carry a ton more for Zoe when she is with me lol. But you know what I mean. That little planner looks perfect for the purse!!! I might have to check that out. I am in the market for one.
ReplyDeleteI hate when I find something in my bag and I'm like GOOD GOD HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN IN THERE?
ReplyDeleteI can eat peanut butter and jelly every single day for lunch and be happy.
Awesome that you bring your lunch from Monday to Thursday. So healthy
ReplyDeleteI was still using my 3rd gen Nano and LOVED it. It was so great for the gym. iPhones are too big and heavy!! About a month ago I got the "white screen of death." and it worked after a few restarts, but think it's dead for good now. RIP.
ReplyDeleteI love the mini planner! I don't think I'm ever going back to paper, but my biggest problem with a paper planner was the inconvenience of carrying it around. My whole purse is mini, so it's literally just credit cards, cash, checks, pen, chapstick, phone. I actually just recently realized I can't fit pads in there, which is a problem now that I'm not pregnant...
ReplyDeleteI have that ipod and love it. I still use it as well. I so need to clean out my makeup bag...I have no idea how many lipsticks are in there. If I had to guess, probably like ten. haha My makeup bag has so much stuff in.
ReplyDeleteWHERE DID YOU GET THAT FAKE NEWS PIN!?!? I want one! Also, why wasn't I aware you have a Happy Planner???? I feel like I should know this.
ReplyDeleteI'm slow to catch up but it's nice to go back and read some of the older posts :) Also! I love these kinds of posts. I don't have that iPod but I wish the newer ones had radio capabilities because I listen to Z100 in the mornings (since my ol' high school days).
ReplyDeleteAlso I totally love that fake news pin. FRIGGIN amazing :) Love my planner, I would never show up anywhere on time without it.
