On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Gronk. Am so tired. But I have two hours of interviews starting at 8 am, so I better pull it together.

Had a dream that Obama's running mate was Christian Kane. O-kay. But I woke up just before he gave his speech.

Obama is reported to be considering Tim Kaine from Virginia, so maybe you were hearing NPR in your sleep.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was it. But I think my way is better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hope that's what it was, because that would be really funny.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

oh wait ,that would be books.Yes, even to vegas.

2, and 3 magazines. Lighter on the back.

but... what if you run out

There are these nifty places called bookstores, and if you give them money, they give you a book to keep! It's the bee's knees.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

But if you don't carry your own books, how do you know they'll have a book you want? (I'm enjoying the pack-n-post quite a lot.)

My "purse" these days is a large tote thing. I carry:

phone (in a little case) Metro card (in another little case tethered to the strap) book wallet card case checkbook cosmetic bag with assorted makeup in it another case with emery board, kleenex, packets of dried lemon juice, pens, etc. hand lotion cuticle cream cough drops and, today, a fold-up umbrella

I have 30 pages left in my current book, which is annoying because I'm going out of town and it's a library book. So do I bring it, and finish before I even get on the plane? I guess not -- I guess I leave it here and finish it over the weekend. Annoying!

I accidentally switched between the decafe (sp?) and my regular coffee.

Oops.

Edit: reason's within the post.

hip deep in pie

I had to give up carry cameras, notebooks, books, etc. because anything too heavy and my shoulders and neck start to hurt. The only essentials in my bag are: bus pass
iPod
wallet
coffee mug
sunglasses

house and work keys

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It seems wrong that Shir's army uniform had no pockets. I hate to think that people are having to go into battle without Kleenex.

Going without a purse seems like a good idea in theory, but in practice I have a Treo and glasses. I also never go anywhere without Kleenex and antihistamines. My ex always asked "Why do you need a purse?" alternating with the times he said, "Can you keep my sunglasses in your purse?"
