What's in your tote?

Well, starting today, DD begins her adventure with braces and that means
some lots of couch time while I wait for her. Since we've already been to
the office a few times and it's near a rink, we know what's near by for an
"after's treat". We'll head to Starbucks for a caramel frappachino and
embracement on her part if there any bags of "grounds for the garden".

So in my tote today I have a very old Lizzie Kate Xmas ornament of a dog in
a Santa hat and a Textile Heritage bookmark. And one or two books and my
reading glasses

If you know you're going to be waiting, what's in your tote?

Sometimes a book, sometimes a puzzle book, and
more recently my ipod.

Usually a small project, like a bookmark (I started a Textile Heritage
one last week while waiting for DM at the dr.) or an ornament. If I know
it'll be awhile, I'll settle in with a crochet piece and audiobook on my
mp3 player (currently working through a Debbie Macomber knit shop novel)
or a larger cross stitch project.

I can't "read-read" in waiting rooms...too many distractions.

A crocheted sweater for my two year old that I started last winter.
Hopefully she'll still be a 2T by the time fall comes. I had been working on
it during my weekly hospital visits for iron transfusions, but by the time
those ended I still hadn't finished it. I also throw whatever book strikes
my fancy for the day in there.

My Kindle with whatever is the book of the day and sometimes something
crocheted. I can't do much knitting now with these hands, but I can still
crochet a little.

I take either knitting or crochet, plus reading matter. I find that
embroidery of any kind, which requires changing threads etc., is too
much of a bother in a professional office waiting room, particularly if
it is crowded.

Doesn't matter where I am, I always take whatever my current project
is with me, no matter how big or small. I am one of the few one-
project-at-a-timers. My stitching is my constant companion...maybe
even more so than my purse!

My Kindle or my Droid with the Kindle app I can't stitch in a
waiting room, but I can read. I prefer reading with the Kindle to
reading with the Droid, but sometimes, like this morning, what should
have been a two minute wait becomes a one-hour wait, and the Droid is
what gets used.....
