Park the truck, Cathy, and return to First Panel. Slip driver’s license and credit card into tiny purse with lipstick and cellphone. Close purse. Walk out of house and leave. That’s all you need.

My 14-year-old daughter is heading in this direction; she’s on level 3. I have one purse…period.

Never once have I needed a 3-hole punch when I’m away from home.

I haven’t gotten into the bag trend yet but I am slowly finding myself adding more and more things to the “what I would put in a bag if I had one”. But c’mon Cathy, do you really need a food scale?
Have a good Daylight “Savings” Day, Clan.

I usually only carry my cell phone these days, which has slots for my licence, credit card and debit card. But my purse has a lot of useful stuff in it, like a pen and paper, makeup bag, etc., that I never have with me anymore unless I’m on vacation.

What I carry depends on where I’m going, if it’s just a quick trip to the store I’ll carry just my wallet (with multiple cards, my license and insurance) or my small purse which also includes lip gloss, a small mirror, nail file and an ink pen. If I’m going to church or to visit, I carry a large purse which can hold my bible, a notepad, and my electronic tablet and cell phone. To school or my internship, I carry a book bag plus my wallet or just a card and a little cash. To my part-time job I carry a small pouch meant for my electronic tablet with a card, a little cash, lip gloss, sanitizer and my phone. Aaaaaaaaaaaaacccccckkkkkkkkkkk! I just realized I’m a little like Cathy! Going into “Over-thinkers Anonymous!”
Hello and Happy Sunday Cathy friends!

I’m going to have to second that AACK if I may, QuietStorm.
Personally, as soon as I saw panel 5 (with the green border around the text), I knew a snowball effect was coming. Little did I know just how [eye-roll]-worthy it would be …
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

It is moments like this that make me appreciate that it never became ‘fashionable’ for men to carry purses (or satchels or man bags or whatever). Although I will admit than when walking around Disney properties I do depend on my wife’s purse to carry my reading glasses. I don’t know how she carries the weight as she carries close to the mini-tote.
Happy Sunday Clan. Beautiful sunshine here but still a really cold -8C.

I’ve got the two purses…the big one that I carry to work that has EVERYTHING I need, and the weekend purse just big enough for my wallet, cell phone, keys and a lipstick.(Gotta have room for the keys, not all women’s slacks have pockets!!)

Most days I’m fine with a wristlet and a cell phone. The wristlet also carries my drivers license, cash and a credit card. All I usually need is that. Other times, like on a trip, I’ll carry a full purse, but that is now full of stuff that I need to clean out.
Hello Cathy friends! Happy Sunday! So tired today! Not all of it is from the time change though…
