I carry a medium sized purse, quite large for my standards actually. I carry both my check books, stamps, those insurance slips & delivery confirmation slips from the USPS (for all my ebay needs). I also carry tissues, chapstick, a (Squirt3 = a fold up pair of scissors by leatherman), My business cards, extra digital camera battery, digital camera, wallet with thousands of pockets for credit cards, and as many pens as I can cram in there! At first I didn't like the thought of carrying a purse so I found a really tiny dickies one, and then just upgrading from there. I like having an excuse to pretty much carry my entire life around with me!!!
