I think that what one has on their desk ~ and in their purse! ~ tells a story about the person! I enjoyed the little 'stories' of Yoinn, CC, and Alison! Hugs all! Linda Lou  |

I agree with you, Linda. I usually don't carry a purse - but lately I have been. It has a cell phone, a small notebook, a few business cards (a photographer, a wooden sign maker and my next hair appointment), dog treats, extra memory for my camera, a camera lens, my wallet, pens (I am addicted to pens and steal them all the ding-danged time), and usually my IPOD. No makeup or hairbrushes for me. I am a self-proclaimed slob!  |

As I look around on my desk I see that I don't have much but what is sitting here makes me happy. my life is simply simple and I love it that way. I have my lap top paper and pen I can't go anywehere with out it. even though I can just use my lap top to write. a pic of family friends and loved ones to keep me close to home. unsent letters to write to my love from afar a sketch book with pencils and my Ipod with music that fills my soul |

From right to left...a stack of envelopes and notepads--weighed down by a can of aquanet. There's fingernail polish remover next to that, and hand lotion. Some jovan musk oil, and another notepad, and then there's a piece of a broken bracelet--a butterfly. (I've been meaning to do something with that.) Did I mention the hair brush? Well there is one. And a brand new pair of earrings (from Claire's! *glee*) um, an ashtray, a very cool mousepad (beloved gift from PdV) and a lighter. OH. There's a computer screen--right here--tap tap--Now? To the leffffffffffft...I have a lighter, some windex, a copy of the Declaration of Independence and ew...a toothpick. Next to that is a bottle of Arpege..mmmm...and next to that, on top of a stack of CD's is some Oil of Olay Vitalizing Cream. (Not to be confused with RE-vitalizing cream...  A ceramic thingie made by my son, which, for some strange reason, holds only paint brushes but no pens, with a single brass leaf hanging down out of that. And a bottle of Melatonin. OH. And the telephone.  OH. And two speakers...(John Lennon's playing) and I think that's it!  |

OK... I'll give this a go. My computer (obviously) The phone Computer speakers An oil bottle from the 50's that I found (it provided inspiration for something I was writing). The Mousepad My girlfriend's cell phone My Beatles cap (which I just took off) Pencil Sharpener A couple of books I am doing research with for work Various writing impliments A file/box system with various things in it A guitar tuner My left elbow, as I type this with my right index finger Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "WHAT A RIDE |

I have three desks and a sewing table in this room! This one is my computer desk... computer paraphernalia: CPU,keyboard, mouse, two modems, monitor, speakers, broadband modem, a disconnected phone jack Inside shelf: CD's, floppy disks, 3 address books, phone book, ink cartridge, a ledger phone glass star paperweight from an AVON President's Club luncheon in '89 a note from Farmers Insurance with a prospective customer's phone number lined note pad list of skin care regimens calendar from Australia high intensity gooseneck lamp Gifts from family members: a ceramic figurine of two bluebirds and flowers on a lamp post, (one of the bird's has a broken wing) a 12" lighthouse candle my daughter gave me for Christmas two years ago a stuffed monkey hanging on the corner of the top shelf a whimsical, highly glazed, pink candy dish in the shape of a mushroom house with a yellow butterfly on the lid a fabric mat woven by one of my daughters when she was in grade school a tattered "TAZ" mousepad from two of my grandkids a coffee mug with a message to "Wake UP"--inside are pens, ruler, a nickel, and a grosgrain ribbon Other than the Avon things and the lamp, nearly everything visible on my desk is a gift, including the computer, which was sent to me from a poet in TN! |

Like Essorant’s desk, my work desk is too small to hold all that I need for my moonlighting job that gave me a Dell, with internet connection, and an HP all in one fax, copy, scan printer. I’ve added extensions, given it wings, file cabinets and basket lined side tables to hold all the necessary workaday things. The desk is actually a light oak table dragged home out of pity and need from the Goodwill store. A black tag mark down, covered with grim scratches and dings; other shoppers had deemed it unlovable. Not me. As I hand rubbed the wax that smoothed out the surface and gave it a sheen, in the grain I could see faces of newly weds dining by candlelight at their honeymoon table. A layer of sticky at one end, told a story from a time later when candles were extinguished for safety reasons, as the couple made room at their table for a sweet cherub in bib and booster seat. What’s on my desk? - The glow of past, present and dreams. |

Let's see how times havae changed: My computer (again, obviously) The set list for a fill in gig I am doing with my former band Papers for a writing project I am doing My cell phone Kid's papers from school that they feel needed to be on my desk for some reason. Candy left over from that big furry guy. Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "WHAT A RIDE |
