Amy, why is there a pepper on the floor?

A little dialogue occured at the office this morning.

A co-worker was walking by my office, and noticed a red pepper on the floor.

CW: Amy, why is there a pepper on the floor?
Me: I brought it for lunch.
CW: (looks into my bag) Oh did, you go grocery shopping?
Me: No, thats much lunch.

In her defence, my bag pretty much looked like the produce aisle. You see, I didn't have any leftovers to bring for lunch (my go-to) so I grabbed some veggies, a few mini pitas and some hummus for lunch. I didn't have time to prep them, so I just brought them whole.

My lunch was delicious. 1/2 a red pepper, 1.2 a cucumber, 8 mini pitas, 1oz old cheddar, 2 tbsp Sabra Red Pepper Hummus.


So, what kind of bag do I bring to work? I'm embarassed to admit, but I tote around this reusable shopping bag from RW&Co. Its big enough to fit my gym clothes, shoes and lunch.


And some random things on the bottom: nail polish, a cheapy set of pearls, orange, banana, a "just in case" can of soup, tampons, hair elastics, the cover for my umbrella, house/car keys, a head band, 3 tubes of chap stick, a guest pass for a gym, a package of light hot chocolate, the manual for my new Mp3 Player, some work forms, 4 pens and some cutlery.
Bottom line, I think I need a better/more stylish bag that dosn't expose my peppers to the world! :)

Lululemon bags and big and nice. They have all these little pockets in the bag to keep you organized. I strong recommend these gym/purse bgs.

My lunch bag looks similar. A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!

Ha ha! Amy, stop flashing your peppers! Get a proper bag! Lululemon ones ARE actually nice, especially if you're looking for something bigger than a traditional gym bag. I also love my Crumpler bag!

When I worked at Home Depot before they gave me this canvas tote bag that was tan with orange straps and said "Home Depot" on the front. I used that for a lunch bag the whole time I worked there..lol.

WOW!! That is a lot of food. You are really prepared. lol

I used a bag like that for my lunch... instead of being from RW though it's from Lulu. Plus I have a bunch of smaller bags made out of the same type of material that I will throw my lunch in and then throw that bag into the bigger carry all.
I figure the shops give us the bags to reuse, and I am going to use them!
I actually have nicer (aka REAL) purse type bags and I never use them. I always revert back to the reusable ones!
