3 things that could reasonably be considered purses. I tend to use 1 of them nearly all the time. The other 2, rather rarely since the other came to me.

I, however, do not like purses, and am not altogether pleased that I seem to be carrying one now.

I have about 10, but only 2 or 3 of them get frequent use.

I have, um, maybe 10-15 handbags? I will carry one particular bag for months at a time, then decide it is time to switch bags and spend an evening going through the whole changing-over-handbag ritual. Moving everything from one bag to the other, doing some minor hedge-witchery with good luck charms, that sort of stuff.

Travel question: I can put my laptop in the suitcase I'm carrying on, right? (I know I'll have to take it out for the scanner....)

Okay, stain is off my counter. Yay! I am much less insane now. Also, the two-hour nap probably helped.

Now I should do laundry and pack.

I have three that get used, one that used to be used a lot, and a bunch I use never. Of the three, one gets used only on weekends (holds just key and wallet,) one gets used on weekends if I am carrying more than that and now when I travel, and the third is a monster I use only if travelling with anything bulkier than a couple books, ipod and a waterbottle.

And then I carry a satchel to work.

ita, I have one that I carry until it gets retired or repaired. I used to be better about changing for spring and fall, but not so much now. If I was going to an event, I would probably invest in a coordinating bag for an outfit, but I haven't been in that situation in long time.

And then I carry a satchel to work.

This was me for a long time. The fact that it looked like Giles' was just bonus. Wonder where that is?

I have about 5. One I carry every day (this one [link] which is AWESOME), and a couple of dressy bags, and some old ones, which I keep around in case I need them.

And then I carry a satchel to work.

Oh yeah. Whatever handbag I'm carrying is completely separate from my bookbag. (My MCR bookbag, because I am completely devoid of shame.)

The leather satchel is in need of a good cleaning treatment. It's 12 years old and kinda beat up. But I love it. Handmade in Prague. I've spilled water and robitussin in it. I've mashed bananas into it. None of that ruined it at all. But the leather needs a good conditioning.

Julie, may your cat get bored and come home.
