Try some; it's good.

Wherein I ramble about books, movies, music, TV shows, my life, and occasionally, hot emo boys.

Thursday 13

13 Things that are sitting on my desk

1. A fax machine

2. Printer

3. Speakers

4. My monitor

5. Scented candles

6. A crystal angel my daughter bought me in Tequisquiapan

7. A star my son made me for mother's day

8. An antique perfume bottle my husband bought me because he loves me

9. My address book

10. My welcome packet to RWA

11. A pink headband

12. My raspberry "chocolate" LG cell phone

13. An antique ring box that holds my wedding rings

There's more crap because I need to clean my desk, but that's where I'm stopping.

I think it's very wrong that you have a chocolate phone but no real chocolate on your desk.

I'm always moving my laptop, so the flat freezer is my favorite spot. Mini can't run under it like a table while I'm writing and bonk his head.

Happy TT, and thanks for visiting my blog!

My desk is so messy, I have no idea what's there. I might be hiding a dead body...

It's an ongoing battle because I'll be sitting here, trying to work, and people (family members) come into my office and hand me stuff.

A flyer for a bake sale.
A sheet of paper detailing a project that's due next week.
Bill to pay.
Hubby's dry cleaning ticket.

What the hell am I supposed to do with it, RIGHT THEN? I'm working, dammit! So I drop it on the far right side of my desk and keep writing. But now the far right side of my desk has become a dangerous, teetering pile, so I have no choice to deal with everyone's junk soon.

It's like I'm the keeper in this place. Do you guys ever want to tell your family, "Dude, just because I'm the mom, it doesn't mean I'm in charge of ALL your shit. Please put it somewhere safe and leave me out of it!"?

Hmmm. I think there's a desk somewhere under all this clutter....

My desk is a wreck! Right now besides clutter I also have a collage I did for my current WIP. I don't normally do them, but I have to say I like it. It keeps me motivated to write the story. :)

It would take approximately 17 Thursday Thirteens to list everything on the heap 'o junk I call a desk.
You do the math...

Elle Fredrix said...

Hmm, my desk is my writing desk and my work desk (I work from home) so I have way too much stuff here.

I did clean it yesterday...sorta.

multiple the 13 items by 20 and you might get close to the number of things on my desk. i have one of those "U" shaped desks that let's me pile that much more on.
