I've put my computer into my carryon suitcase, but I have a padded slipcase for it for extra protection. Remember, though, that you're going to have to haul it out at security -- and if you forget and they catch it on the X-ray, that's a one-way ticket to have a nice TSA person rifle through your underwear.
I forgot my cell phone in my pocket when walking through the metal detector recently. Guess who got severely patted down? WTF? He wouldn't even let me have a second go through. And this is after I checked my small weekend bag because I didn't want to cope with the lotion/liquid restrictions.
For our trip to Hawaii, I'm going to go to the Aveda store and stock up on sample sizes.
would a messenger bag (8 1/2" by 11" or so size) qualify as a handbag?
Yeah, that'll be fine.
So, of course, I get to work, and the laptop bag that's here will be perfectly fine for my carryon. It screams LAPTOP BAG, but whatever. It's not too heavy by itself, has plenty of pockets, etc. This is what happens when I start thinking about things before I'm actually awake.
What I do need to do is go to Kiehl's or Sephora or somewhere and buy something to get the samples -- I'm all out of small-sized fancy face cream.
Oopsie!
Rookie Plumber Burns Down $12 Million Mansion on His First Day
A 17-year-old rookie plumber has begun his career by accidentally burning down a $12 million waterfront mansion. Initial indications are that the blowtorch he was using in the roof ignited expanded polystyrene foam.
The building was burned to the ground in minutes despite the attentions of 60 firefighters. A spokesperson for the owner, Andrew Brownsword, said he was unhappy about what had happened but did not believe the young plumber acted with malice.
"I heard it was started by a teenager on his first day. You have to feel sorry for the poor lad. He must feel terrible," a neighbour said. Nobody was hurt in the incident.
Kids these days... with their plumbering and their burning down mansions....
Jesse, buy the lip goo. Cheapest thing at Kiehls and you still get samples.
I am cold today, but it promises to be a lovely day.
Don't stock up on Aveda mini sizes! They're the most expensive ever.

Good call. Although I always get seduced by their creams!
I have been so efficient already today! I just ordered some boots off Zappos and sent a fax about my bullshit credit card fraud issue. OK, I suppose some would argue that I could have gotten two work tasks done in the past hour, but whatev.
I woke up fairly enraged at the world today for some reason. Mayhap I should boycot the news for a while?
msbelle, nice to see Mac's learned the trick of NOT playing fair. Ooof. Much patience to you and I hope it gets better. We still have to sit in with Owen for anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour (rare but it happens).

I know! I can refill some of my old mini bottles, I suppose.
Ahrg!
and now I have another meeting to go to. Ahrg!)
Reminds me of a CBC radio story about the waiter who dropped a $10,000 bottle of wine. Ouch.
