Most of my favorite bloggers are doing daily lists for the month of March. I have read some extremely interesting lists. But my brain is not organized enough to do lists right now. I am finding it difficult to simply get from one room to the next and remember what I was going to do when I got there. Really annoying! Some days are better than others. Maybe lists or at least notes would be useful to me right now- if I could keep track of the d*#$ things.

OK- so I will do a list tonight, just to see if my brain can remember what I usually keep in my pockets (since I don't carry a purse).

1. Right rear pocket- billfold- brand new hand made by a fellow Etsian (see link to your right), which contains: drivers license, social security card, nursing license, insurance cards, a few business cards, household debit card, personal debit card and pics of the triplets (the boys not the little babies, yet). [Isn't my new wallet beautiful? Thanks to Tom of Copper Springs Leather Craft. It smells wonderful too].

2. Front right pocket- cell phone

3. Front left pocket- kleenex, big wadded up bunches of them as I have a perpetually runny nose. I will spare you photos of the wadded up tissues. (You're welcome.)

I carry my keys in a jacket pocket in winter, or in a shorts or pants pocket. I wish I would always keep them in the same pocket, 'cause it's real annoying to come out of the grocery store laden with my net bags filled with groceries and go on a search through all the pockets. Most especially when it is really cold.

There is nothing else I usually need to carry, and when I do, I either stuff these into various pockets. On the rare occasion that I need a "purse" it is usually a small leather backpack type. Then I may carry a pocket calendar, book, journal and pen.

Travelling light is something I learned to do when I was doing distance bicycling trips (many years ago). You really don't want to carry a lot when you are riding 75 miles a day on a bicycle. And pockets become fanny packs on a bike because you have enough chafing and pressure on your body without them.

Well- that's my big list for today.

Hey kiddo I'm with you as far as traveing light.Of course the only bicycle that i ride now is the exercise one and that is verry limited due to the pesky seizures of mine.

It is a lovely wallet. I'm afraid I do carry a purse, and one with far too much junk in it. Hey! We have the same kind of phone--only mine's pink.

PS- like the new pic? Actually it is an old pic, from NYE 2006. I was having my traditional NYE stogie.
