the “writer’s bag…”

Posted in This working life, travel, writing on April 7, 2009 by coolcrys

Peace Cool World,
Anyone who knows me can tell you that I’ma Bag Lady. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved the ideas of having everything one might need at one’s finger tips. I’m sure its one of the many reasons that I became a flight attendant.

I used to go so far as to play “Penny”. Who is Penny, you ask? Why Inspector Gadget’s genious niece/ daughter, of course! I world grab an encyclopedia to use as my laptop ( remember Penny’s laptop?…way ahead of her time).I’d toss it in my back pack with my Lisa Frank tablet, a thermos of juice(kool aid), whatever babysitter’s club book I was reading, and a magnifying glass and have the most wonderful adventures.

I say all that to say…I need a bag! One that will accomodate my Real Life laptop and its charger, my ipod and its charger, my black berry and its charger, my journal, current read, tea, pens, folders and such. Don’t want it to be too big…don’t wanna break my back. And I refuse to carry a typical brief case or laptop bag.I’ve had about all that I can take of “flight crew black”.

So Cool World,

Any suggestions?

I have offcially lost my mind…

Why?
Well, Cool Crys has finally joined the millions of Americans who are addicted to black berry.I’m not addicted YET, but I know it’s comin.

After waiting four days for a new phone and compiling ALL my contacts all over again…I DROPPED said phone into a steaming bowl of chicken soup. Needless to say, that poor Samsung is officially dead.

Conviently for me, I’d bought a blackberry off of ebay. So once – returned from my trip… Having been incommunoicado for two days, my slightly used 8703e was waiting for me. I’ve gotten it activated and am now mastering all of the cool features and qwerty keyboard.

The plan is to BLOG MORE. Since I’ll have no excuse. Bear with mne cool world… I’ll be sharing my clever (and often inappropriate) observations soon enough.

Peace
