Husband bought me this.
Because I am enjoying building things in life.
Nice. Right?
I am kind of fascinated that there was a time when many people carried their worldly possessions on their peasant’s belt. The tools they needed to get through their day.
I like the idea of carrying the tools I need with me.
Everywhere.
So now I need another one.
So I can do this.
Why can’t I walk about my life like this. Prepared. Ready to scribble, jot or type away.
Have Blog.
Will travel.
Now I have to buy her another belt for her woodworking/crafts.

I think you must have one of the best husbands. I’m still carrying a notebook and a pen in vest pockets (my husband bought me a birder’s type of vest years ago, the kind with millions — okay tens — of pockets for pens, notebooks, camera, etc). I might have to pass this blog post on to a certain husband I know. Time to upgrade beyond the pen and notebook. 🙂
LikeLike
I love the vest idea as well! There’s something about pockets and being close to you over a bag/purse/etc…. Though I often use a backpack to haul all of my technology. And my technology includes paper/pens because when all else is not working, those always will!
I hope Husband (Robin’s model) does something fun. But he gets Kudos for the vest idea.

A very, VERY thoughtful Husband! (Hmmmm… What’s this? A red pen and yet another one..? Such primitive implements for our Royal Highness? How can that be so with today’s Androids? Oh, I see!! You have a…. Blackberry! LOL)

You did notice the old netbook too, right? And the electrical cord that goes to it? Red pens are a must. If I cross something out I need to see the contrast. Plus, it showed up good against the belt. 😉 My Blackberry is a must, for everything BUT writing. Well, I did just figure out how to use a notepad on it. So that was nice.

Yes, I noticed the “old” notebook…which likely suffered the same disaster as your Christmas stuffing… Splat!! lol
And certainly, your next mod to the belt should be…coloring it black… so it can be worn while doing your martial arts. 🙂

Aw! You remembered my black belt. 🙂 I love all black clothing. SO if I can find one I will get one.
Just FYI, the netbook did not go splat. But my daughter did use it for a short time and now it is REALLY acting slow.
I guess that could be netbook splat.

For the “splat”: download “ccleaner” and give that a belt…I mean, whirl. Might help. Also make sure all spyware is removed, too (superantispyware.com).
