My purse

[pegkerr]

On impulse, I weighed it at the doctor's office.

7.4 pounds

Oy.

How much does your purse weigh?

(And yes, I really do need everything that's in there).

Edited to add: At least I have the sense to use an Ameribag, which because of the way it is positioned, puts less strain on the neck and back and makes the load seem lighter. Layout here.

i don't carry a purse. i feel like it does these things:
a)makes you a target.
b)ties up your hands.
c)causes you to forget/lose it when going to parties and such.

although , annie did convince me to buy a small black one for special occasions when she worked at fashion square.... i hardly ever use the thing!

so what do i use???
my jeans pockets!

All of my purses have extra long straps which I use diagonally across the chest: free hands and much more theft deterring. I don't usually forget it because I put my car keys in it and I can't go anywhere without them.

excellent ideas! i will confess though, that when i did carry a purse, i used to think i 'needed' so much stuff, that i do over load it...but i love my kicking jeans pockets... they can hold my cell, car keys, and wallet! besides, century was having a sale on them and they were only 7$ a pair!!! sweet comfort!
