When You Don't Have Time To Pack...

Wherein you, the readers, talk amongst yourselves

An article in the New York Times today tells the story of young Kierstyn Cyrus, a former resident of New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward whose home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, and her quest to find a beloved scrapbook she lost in the storm. The point: sometimes the small keepsakes are the hardest things to lose.

I'm just a single girl who lives in a small NYC studio, but the things I would have to bring with me if I had to evacuate quickly are my puppy, my laptop (of course!) and my photo albums. What are the things you wouldn't be able to leave behind?

My laptop, a couple of books, passport, my notepads and scrapbooks that I use for story ideas, my mp3, my makeup collection. Replacing lost MAC, Benefit and Clarins products is not cheap in the UK

Narrowing it down: notepad, mp3 and lipgloss.

My dog. Everything else, while it would be missed, just doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

We have a file of all of our financial stuff so I'd grab that, my cat, my makeup kits, my laptop, pictures, our wine collection and my purse collection.

Yea, I'd probably die while packing up my purses. LOL.
