Choices, Choices: How's one to decide?

I really need to know I'm not just crazy here.

But, I guess I feel like a lady with a closet full of shoes trying to decide which to wear (we men don't tend to have this "opportunity" cause most guys only have a few pair to choose from).
So, here's the deal- You wake up in the morning. Grab your standard stuff- money clip, iPhone, wallet, etc.....but what about that day's carry? How in the world do you decide which one to take for that day?

Help me out here, cause lately, like this morning- I changed my carry 3 x before I walked out the door. I went from my Strider RC to my Mantis Jyro and then changed again to my GE Stag toenail :) Like the difference between a hardcore working truck to a hyperdrive sports car and then to a classic collector car....but am I messed up..... Tell me I'm not crazy. There has to be some way to decide instead of my mood LOL and I really don't want to carry more than one either......

In my pocket is a Lone Wolf Defender (Amboyna wood) & into the horizontal belt sheath is a vintage Queen Muskrat-esque folder.

Correction:

The Muskrat is a Camillus not Queen.

Instead of just posting a pic of my carry today(I will post a pic anyway). I will also answer Scott's question.

I have to pick out the knife the night before when I am laying out my clothes. I suppose it is similar to a Woman accessorizing her outfit. This can take up about an hour deciding the whole deal, 5 minutes on the wardrobe and the balance flipping through the brag bag and knife rolls.

Last night involved putting away yesterday's carry's. Then I was struggling with whether to carry the Contego, Warn-Barrage or the 581 Barrage. Because I was about to exceed my allotted time for decision, I grabbed a knife I don't normally carry as it is illegal to do so in the Golden State. I did not have time to pick out a traditional folder, but I may pocket one from my desk drawer later. ;)

Look what I found in my desk drawer, Rough Rider Work knife w/ Jigged Amber Bone. It will ride in the backpocket.

Today, I decided on this Camillus "Sword Brand" Cam-Lock knife. It rides well in the backpocket next to my wallet.

Brad, that is a neat looking knife, I never seen one like it. So, the switch locks the knife, right?

Nice older Camillus Brad. I haven't seen one of those either in a coon's age!

Look up in the upper right hand corner of the post, you should be able to delete your own. I am not much a photographer but usually in you have them low so you can shoot straight down on them it helps
