baggage

i was recently tagged by the lovely erin at pughs' news with a fun "what's in my bag" feature. so here's what i was lugging around yesterday in my giant black abyss of a bag:

my fancy new water bottle
a green folder full of important papers for work and class
a grad school version of a pencil case {which means i carry pens and pencils... oooo!}
this pretty flowery wallet that is $15 on lulus, but which i bought for $9 at forever 21 {what a steal!}
pocket mirror for the quick "is there something in my teeth" checks
burt's bees chapstick
a pen for all my pen-related needs
trusty old-school cell phone
camera {actually, that's the just the case as i was using the camera to take this picture}
$2 which i carry at all times for bus fare
a mini bag {i really like organizing things with bags within bags} full of supplies such as lotion, disinfectant wipes, hair ties, band aids, *ahem* lady things, and a safety pin
an adorable posy paper co. pocket calendar
ginormous sunglasses
a scarf
an extra sweater {we san franciscans never know when we'll need more warm layers}


those are the usuals, and on certain days i have to lug my laptop around, or extra shoes when it's rainy. after 5 years of walking every where i go {i don't have a car} and carrying this behemoth of a bag, i've developed some back problems. but soon i'll be living in l.a. where i'll have to get a car, and in many ways, i'm grateful for that change {sorry earth!}.

so there you have it - my daily baggage! :)
is there anything you can't go anywhere without?
