I have a problem.
I have always been really nuts about purses, bags and all sorts of personal organization methods.
I don't see these things as accessories. I am really not concerned about how they look or whether they go with my shoes. No, they are the tools I use to keep it together.
I am ever in search of the perfect system of personal organization.
I have a certain number of things that I have to have with me whenever I go out.
My wallet of course. And a small bag with toiletry items and things like motrin and Dramamine.
I used to have to take my planner with me everywhere, but with my Blackberry, I have access to my calendar and all the documents that I have in Google, in addition to my phone book and gmail account. The Blackberry is considerably smaller than the planner.
I have rosaries, and prayer books for Mass. I have my little camera and my glasses.
Oh, and the keys.
All of this stuff gets kind of heavy after awhile.
I bought a wallet that has a little strap that I can put on, it holds the blackberry and I can just clip the keys to it when I go in to a store.
I am thinking that maybe I will just go to a big tote, a pretty one, with some little bags inside that can hold all the flotsam and jetsam so that I can find the right one when I need it. Bright colors for identification.
It would be so much easier to just look down into the bag and pull out the correct color.
Then I can just leave the bag in the car most of the time and bring my wallet in the house with my BB.
I don't know. I am sure there is a flaw in this plan, because if it were the answer, someone would be selling it.

I found a big tote on clearance at Target. The center section has a pull out cushioned zipper case that can hold a laptop. There is a section sewn into the side that can hold and organize small items like a cell phone or PDA and pens. Another convenient feature is a hook for car keys. They no longer get lost in the black hole. I usually carry a large day planner, my wallet, keys, coupon organizer, Ganny brag book, and prayer book. There is room for my Bible or Religious Ed materials for the nights I am at the parish hall. The best part is that all of the compartments keep things where I can find them easily. My bag is red faux-alligator texture, fairly attractive, and very functional.
