Regular purse is a compact, black leather Fossil shoulder bag. Too compact. The bag was great for a European trip last summer, but come this spring, I intend to find a larger purse. Need more room and stuff. Inside:

1. 2 ballpoints
2. Doctor visit statement
3. Black leather wallet containing $25.92, a $20 gift certificate for a quilt shop in Sun Prairie, WI, Kohl's and Boston Store credit cards, Visa, checkcard, gym membership card, driver's license, insurance card, and my daughter's Peace Corps business card.
4. Punchcards from 7 quilt shops, a bead shop, a yarn shop, two bakeries, a bookstore, and a health food store.
5. SS card
6. Phone card
7. Two library cards
8. Milwaukee Art Museum membership card
9. Three fabric swatches
10. One crumpled but unused kleenex
11. Checkbook
12. Kids' college savings account passbook (neither kid has attended college in the last year.)
13. Purse-sized tube of Clinique hand lotion
14. One dead AA battery
15. Car keys, library key
16. Small blue plastic Clinique pill box containing 3 spearmint tic tacs, 4 calcium pills, 6 Aleves.
17. Box of spearmint tic tacs
18. Pack of Wrigley's Extra gum, also spearmint
19. Revlon lipstick in Slate
20. Clinique lipstick in Blushing Nude
21. Clinique lipstick in Fizzy
22. Kiehl's lip gloss in Black Raspberry
23. Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm--the staff of life!
24. Tiny Zippo flashlight
25. Zippo tape measure
26. Laminated card with list of family phone numbers--too many to memorize.
27. Nail file

I also carry a tote to work. The current tote is a freebie U.S. Peace Corps bag. It usually contains:

1. TeNeuess spiral bound calendar. This year's showcases the works of Miro.
2. HTML manual
3. Whatever I'm reading. Currently, it's "The Little Friend", by Donna Tartt
4. Knitting project. Right now: the beginnings of a felted bag, in chartreuse.
5. Sunglasses
6. A ziplock filled with Atomic Fireballs. Some people crave chocolate; I crave cinnamon.
7. Another Burt's Beeswax Lip Balm.
8. Blank spiral-bound notebook
