Last night we purchased a new work laptop for me and it should be zinging its little self to my tender little meathooks even as we speak. Hooray for new computers! However, I am at a loss as far as choosing a bag to protect its darling carcass as it moves with me from meetings to writing sessions to set. I want something interesting, but also functional. I have a Queen Bee record purse that I positively live out of and couldn’t live without, but I couldn’t find that they make any laptop bags specifically; their styling and durability is top-shelf and they are the overall satchel standard as far as I am concerned. Do you think anything they make would be adequate?
At any rate, do tell me — how do you cradle and transport your baby? Advice, links, brands, names, and pics are encouraged!
About muffybolding
Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
