Outsmarted myself
Posted in Life on 05/14/2008 09:43 pm by enjanerdI have a few purses/bags I use for work these days. I have my regular attache bag that is my staple. I have a laptop purse for when I need to bring Dellilah with me to work. I have my mini-backpack for the days when I just don’t want to carry that much with me on the bus.
Yesterday, I transferred a bunch of stuff over to my purse because I needed to bring Dellilah with me in preparation for my trip. The “stuff” included my medicated chapstick. Then, when I got home, I transferred stuff back to my regular bag and my duffel to bring with me. Forgetting, of course, my chapstick.
But!
I just unpacked my bag o’ toiletries. I had a baggie of all my liquids and gels (like the TSA requires). And after my last trip, I decided I no longer wanted to check bags and use a new plastic baggie every time I go on a trip. So I started collecting travel toiletries to put together to just take with me for my next trip and not have to find stuff every time. Including: carmex! Because I knew I would forget something like that, so I just put my backup where I knew I would bring it without even checking. Yay for knowing myself well enough to expect me to forget!

Um, Carmex is not ‘medicated.’ It’s just mentholated to make it tingle. And it’s not chapstick. It is lip balm. Trademark infringement, yowza!
You just got served. Ha!
Btw, omg, NY&Co’s new City Beauty lipglosses are so cool! Just bought some. Lol. I was pleasantly surprised.

I have a medicated Chapstick(R) that I left behind. Carmex wasn’t what I was looking for, but it sufficed while I was gone. :)
