In a situation quite similar to yours that's what I do:
I have two repositories/databases on the laptop, e.g.
~/.monotone/work.mtn and ~/.monotone/home.mtn
thus the work and home branches never are in the same DB and don't mix.

% cd work-project
% mtn sync
(it does sync with work pc by default)

% cd home-project
% mtn sync
(it does sync with home pc by default)

…usually using monotone-over-SSH instead of a server (which I find
easier to use for one-man-projects).
