Right before I walk out the door to get in the car I always feel like I'm running around like a mad woman on a scavenger hunt.

The Husband tells me to stop taking so much stuff!

What can you NOT leave the house without?

Fortunately my directions are on my cell! I have a Blackberry and it has a nav program on it.

My phone is a must as is my purse. I have to say working nights has left me trying to leave a few times missing some key things. Recently I was heading out and got down a few steps to think "this doesn't feel right...where's my bra?". I felt so stupid, trying to nap before my shift so I could make it the whole night and I forgot something like that. My boy friend is always quick to laugh at me, but you know there's something you don't want to leave without, even if you hate it.

OTHER - ID, even if I'm not driving or going anywhere that would require it.

I always end up eating in class. Especially my night class. It's three hours but we get a break. I remember once my professor leaned over and asked in a low tone if it'd be a bad idea for him to get an apple and eat it in class. I scoffed and told him, "Dude, I have a soda in my purse, and I'm planning on making a run to the C-store to get something to eat."

I also, put down cell and cash, but ocassionally I leave them at home because I "forgot," like when I'm avoiding people texting or calling me when I was busy. I did this when my roommates were fighting and tried bitching at me about it. I told them I didn't want to be involved, but they didn't get the hint. Oops. Also, I don't carry cash or my card if I'm going to a place where I know I'll have to buy something and I really shouldn't.

I didn't see an other option..every poll needs one right?

I will be taking my nintendo ds or kindle each day I go to work as I don't eat at work...anyone else carry a ds or kindle with them?

It depends on where I'm going. If I'm going to visit a friend, I take my purse. If I'm running to the store, I just take my keys, sunglasses and cash.

It's my first poll. I tried to go back and slip in "Other" but I couldn't figure out how...

Unfortunately, you can't edit a poll after it's up.

For me, it's wallet, keys, and sunglasses. When I feel like driving around to get out of the apartment (I only leave a couple times a week) I bring the GPS with me...just in case.

I only take what goes in my wallet, basically, as well as my cell phone in my pocket and the house keys. If I take extra things with me I grab my backpack and put it all in there, but that's usually when I ride my bike to a store to shop or when going to my friends' houses.

Before leaving the house I tend to stand at the door and do a checklist in my head to make sure I have what i need. It helps me so I don't run all through the house checking everything.

Also, before leaving i tend to put things on the counter i'll be taking with me anyway, so then I just grab it and go.

I need an other for ID, lip gloss, and kleenex (in addition to the cell phone and keys I voted for).

Well, I need the cell phone just in case of an emergency, i need my purse, and a bag for the kids with diapers, wipes, snacks, cups, etc...

Most of the stuff I need resides in my purse usually, but sometimes I'll have to scramble around to remember directions if I'm going somewhere new, or my keys if they aren't in the usual spot.

Every day I actually say out loud as I check pockets and purse "ok. wallet. smokes. lighter. shades. key. phone." I dont know why I say it out loud. But I do. If i dont i will surely forget something and that pisses me off because I will have to turn around to get it and miss my bus.

I always have my purse on me, and in it I make sure to have my ID, debit card wallet, Keys hang on the outside, and I keep a small thing of lotion in it just incase my skin dries out; I can't be looking like a raisin in front of a hot guy lol.

I pretty much have to take everything on the list, including other. except makeup. I don't wear any, which is fine, my hubby hates the stuff anyways.

I've got a fairly big purse that's generally packed with all the main things at all times. I just have to augment it with a bottle of water or whatever extra stuff I'll need for the specific outing and do a double check that the wallet, cellphone & keys are in fact in their designated purse pockets.

I normally keep everything I might need in my purse: wallet, cigarettes, keys, etc. I try not to go anywhere without my cell phone. GPS is in the car.

I usually have a small purse with my wallet and a bit of make up but it depends where I am going and what I am doing. If I go to the grocery, I keep my keys and wallet in my packets and leave the purse at home. If I'm going out then I bring my purse.

I always have to do a quick mental checklist before I leave for work. Phone? Nametag? Work ID? Debit card? Lip gloss? Water bottle? Yes? Good to go!

If I don't keep my water bottle with me, I know I will never drink while out. Lol, weird? Yup.
