What's in my bag?

So, Julie and I had a brief conversation about what is in my "go to" bag.  Well, here it is!  Sometimes I feel like it's excessive.  Then again, rarely have I found myself in a situation when I didn't have what I needed.

So the Kermit bag (and some accompanying things) comes with me when I travel or when I know I am going to present somewhere.  I've got Lightning cords, 30 pin cords, mini-USB cords, a plug, a mini jack to stereo jack adapter, headphones, extra speakers, audio cords of varying types, headphones (apparently 2 sets), and two styli.

This is the Kermit bag.
I may go a little overboard on the audio cords, but then again, sometimes overboard can be helpful. I've been able to plug my computer into flat-screen tvs with an HDMI cable (left).  The one in the
middle is a mini jack to RCA cables.  This is the cord that plugs into sound systems (PA or theatre). The one on the right is a standard mini jack audio cable.

And thus begins the overkill section.  Here's the contents of one of two bags that I carry in my work bag.  This includes dry erase markers, Sharpies of varying sizes, pencils, pens, and Post-its. I also carry an extra battery and some of my business cards.

Yes...I have an addiction to Post-its and Sharpies.
And the last bag that is in my office bag is the everything else bag.  It's all the other things I think I need on a regular basis.  I've got a pitch pipe, tape, cords and charger, Fitbit charging cord, USB drives, cleaning cloth, barrettes,  and yes, guitar picks. (I'm picky about my guitar picks, pun slightly intended.)
Excessive? Maybe.  

It might be a little excessive, but I feel prepared for just about anything.  I have yet to find a compact power strip and extension cord for when I travel.  I also need to get a VGA adapter.  

I hope this is helpful!

Caffination!

I find myself in need of caffeine. A lot. Surprisingly, some blogs I read have made mention of caffeine. For anyone in need of caffeine resources, here you go. The Caffeine Database Better ways to use caffeine Yep, this is where I am now. I don't want to think about how much caffeine is in my system. It's been awhile since I've worked full time in a congregation. This time of year is where I remember self-care. How do we work in congregations and take care of ourselves? I usually swing toward too much self care or no self care. I've never found that balance. How or what are your ideas for self care? What do you do for self care?

Blogging with Pen and Paper…..

Or it’s equivalent….. Writing this blog in MS Word feels like writing with pen and paper. The internet is down at my apartment. I feel like something is missing. I cannot check IMDB at a moments notice. I cannot check Facebook, MySpace or e-mail. I cannot watch YouTube, check up on blogs, look for plane tickets, look for answers to all the random questions I have while watching TV, research (read: play Webkinz . I do read actual reports too...) and play Scrabulous. I cannot instant message or Skype! What am I going to do with myself? Well, I’m blogging with MS Word. I started to clean my desk. I’m watching shows on DVD that I haven’t had time to watch since I got them. (Star Trek: Voyager and The Muppet Show, yes, I am a geek.) I never realize how the internet has revolutionized how I live until it’s gone. I depend on it for research, communication and recreation. I wonder what is going to happen over the next 5, 10, and 20 years how it will ...
