THE VENTI SCHLEPP

It isn't Tall or Grande, it is VENTI....

I am constantly shuffling paper, computers, hard drives, cables to go with them etc. all over the place. I upgraded my LL Bean Boat-and-Tote from a Medium (Grande) to a Large (Venti) to facilitate my constant schlepp of things to and from the office and to and from photo shoots. and back again all over.

I thought myself savvy when I began FedExing boxes of stuff to myself at hotels, studios and locations. I was certain this would cut down on the need to Venti Schlepp. I was wrong. The need increased once I began FedExing to myself. This once remarkable find, only cleared more room in my boat-and-tote for more stuff; stuff that ended up in a shopping bag because it wouldn't fit in the tote. The schlepp now includes shopping bags and the tote. all of this is after Fedexing boxes (plural) to myself.

I am a bit of a pack rat and like to be prepared. I admit it. However, will there ever be a time when I can simply carry a wee tote and a wee pocket book with no additional stuff? is it in me?
