I am defined by my jeans
I never used to carry a pocketbook. Whenever I tried I would leave them on the backs of chairs, in hallways, on the bus or train or just forget to take it out of the house. For years I had an outline of a wallet in the back pocket of my jeans and had dollar bills folded into incomprehension in the front pockets of my Levi's. It became problematic when I had to carry a phone, a pager, and a mini-laptop with me for work. I could get away with a phone in my pocket, but i couldn't stuff my keys, money, pager, wallet and cell phone. Then, jeans went low-rise and I could barely fit my phone in there anymore. I needed to girl up.
Over the last few years, my fiance has slowly and supportively been working on turning my outward appearance a little more girly. I am now the owner of two bags, one of them is even from a respectable name in the bag industry. Despite me having a perfect place to store all the crap I gather on a daily basis, I cannot stop the habit of shoving items into my jeans pockets. As said fiance was doing the laundry he found:
and not to be left out is the crumbled mess of dollar bills.

I thought the "you wash it, you keep it rule" was universal?

Actually i do wash her girlie things but its more because im incredibly perverted.
All earnings i find in her clothes are reported to the IRS, and then subsequently taken away. Stupid taxes.
It is kinda neat to find stuff in there though, its like a treasure chest of crap!

try a money clip...it satisfies the urge to pocket all your cash, but keeps it in a moderately identifiable format. Still near impossible to count tho.
