Tons of junk. I have a small pocketbook with my money, credit card, AAA card, and driver's license. Then I put that into my "work bag", 9 abog old tote bag - I'm a bag lady at heart) that contains CDs to listen to, ZIP disks with artwork on them, maybe a bill to pay, letter to read and my cell phone. My vitamins, hairbrush, bottle fo water, Altoid cinnamin mints (my latest addiction) and my ID to get into work. Since it's cold out theres a pair of gloves and a hat in it too. It's my home way from home. I figure if I ever get stranded, I could live out of that bag for a week.
