Or Karen’s desk to be precise. In my quest to get organized, I’ve neglected my desk. This is the hub of my connection to everything in cyber space. (I write on my laptop so it’s strictly for writing). But my desk is where my computer sits. My desk has become a dumping station for anything I’m carrying at the time I walk toward my office. Then things get buried. Like my calendar that tells me where and when I’m supposed to be doing something–like blogging here today. Except I didn’t unearth it until a few minutes ago. So, now I’m here.
But I did begin to wonder if I started cleaning right this very minute, what else would I find?
Papers. Lots of papers on how to do promo, craft, a letter I started writing to my aunt, a credit card bill—oops.
But what could be lurking beneath the mountain of papers? Okay, you can turn on some haunting music right about now if you want more drama in all this.
Or not.
The telephone! I’d been wondering where the living room phone went to. Ha! My office, of course.
The hole punch. (It should go on the shelf behind me)
A box of tisssssss. Oops, the box of tissue went over the side and landed on Sukie. She so doesn’t look happy right now.
An Oreo! How the heck did I miss that? OHMANITSTILLTASTESGREAT!!! I love soft Oreo cookies. So much for the goal to watch calories today. Does a month old Oreo lose calories? Probably not.
Three spiral notebooks. One can never have enough spiral notebooks.
A mouse!!!! No, not that kind. It’s an extra one I meant to put in the garage sale. I mean, really, think about it. If the mouse had been real there wouldn’t have been an Oreo. Duh. Oh, what’s worse than finding a worm in your apple? LOL A half of a worm! God, I crack me up!
And there’s a copy of Cosmic Sex. Woo-hoo. It must be extra since it’s on my desk. Okay, make a comment on the blog and I’ll put your name in for a drawing. Must be 18 or older and all that other contest stuff. I’ll post the winner tonight at 10 pm central time if I don’t forget.
Y’all have a great day!
Karen
Vamps and Scamps 
I’ve already got Cosmic Sex, but some lucky poster is in for a great treat.
You can also give it as a gift 🙂
Karen
But but… what else did you find?
(I’m so with you on the credit card bill–only mine is for my cell phone *wince*)
ROFL… You crack me up!
I just thought I would swing by and tell you to have a blast at RT and good luck with the award. I think it is awesome you were even nominated.
Don’t enter me for the book, I already have a copy (I know surprise, surprise!)
As far as the cookie, I think cookies exposed to air for periods of time actually decrease in calories. I tell myself they evaporate. Not a solid excuse, but it helps me to sleep better at night.
~Hugs,
J 🙂
Gosh, if I left an Oreo on my desk a real mouse would eat it. I absolutely agree about the spiral notebooks!
ROFLOL……my problem is not my desk that the computer is on – well its not as bad as the other problem here in the computer room……….I have a round table just in front of the closet and everything has been dumped on it.
There is a pot of artifical flowers in the middle and you can barely see it, yup time to get at it or the poor thing will collapse. Ohhh and then there is taking a pair of pants I took over to my Dad to sew, because the cabinet with the sewing machine in it is covered with stuff and the chair too, so it was easier than cleaning everything off……….Now that is procastination. LOL
The rest of the house looks great just this room looks like a bomb exploded in it…………ROFLOL But I come in here to straighten and get side tracked by the computer.
LOL…you’re desk sounds a lot like mine. I should probably clean mine as well…who knows what treasures I will find?
Oh man, my desk is just as bad. I just went thru the top layer and came across a bag (unopened) of those cinnamon hearts from See’s Candy. I was suppossed to give them to my kids for Valentine’s day! So guess what my snack is today??? Would love to read Cosmic Sex.
I’m the same. There’s piles – PILES! – of papers and books and more paper and ohmygod, it’s all NUTS! lol.
Like right now, I have Nursing Diagnosis, labs and other such books with a bunch of papers on it with info about labs and meds and all that.
It’s a freaking mess.
I love your sense of humor! Your books are fabulous and I welcome the chance to win Cosmic Sex.
I admit, I stopped looking shortly after I found the Oreo–LOL
Ohhhh, JT, let me know what you think about Cosmic Sex. And thanks about the congrats for the RT award nomination. I think it’s pretty cool, too.
I probably keep Spiral in business! I actually have more than those mentioned on my desk, but I was too embarrassed to admit to more 🙂
Yep, I have a vase of artificial flowers, too. Dark roses that look dusty—that’s dusty rose, not dusky rose.
Good idea, Jennifer, I might find another Oreo.
LOL about the Valentine candy. You really wouldn’t want them to eat old candy, now would you? You’ll have to force yourself to eat all of it yourself–to save them, of course. LOL
Oh, no, NO Nursing books!!!! I just renewed my license. But I only work enough to stay current. Can you imagine me with a needle in hand, some poor sap’s butt exposed, and me thinking about my next book? Not a pretty sight (either one–LOL)
Y’all are so sweet.
Karen
I just bought some oreos at the store. Great minds and all that.
I loved Cosmic Sex it was awesome
It’s always a treat if you find food on your table. I get excited if I find some candy lying around. Doesn’t matter how old it is, I will probably eat it.
I can related to your desk. Hey maybe you should write a story about all the items you found on your desk. It could be called Look, Another Treasure. LOL
Would love to win a copy of Cosmic Sex.
Your desk sounds a lot like mine. I’ve learned to stash everything into banker’s boxes, the quicker cleaner uper :o) Course, I still have to go through the boxes every once in awhlie.
Would love a chance to win Cosmic Sex.
Would loke to be able to have a copy of Cosmic Sex on my desk!
And the winner is Cathy M! Congrats!!! Send your snail mail to kkelley@classicnet.net and I’ll get you a book in the mail.
Thanks to everyone for commenting!
Karen
Congrats, Cathy M!
Karen, but you didn’t say what else you found! *pout* and I so wanted to know. *sigh*
Okay, LOL, what else did I find on my desk:
A fur ball. Wait, I don’t have a cat. Do I? No, I don’t think so. Oh no, wait, there’s a tiny skeleton…ewwww… No, not a skeleton—leftover KFC. I knew I didn’t have a cat.
A cup full of Sharpies. Hmmm, the ink is all dried. When was the last time I cleaned off my desk? Oh, a very long time ago.
Okay, that’s all I found that might interest y’all—LOL
Karen
Would love to win a copy of Cosmic Sex.
You certainly make cleaning a desk sound like a true adventure and treasure hunt combined…gave me a big chuckle.
I used to have a room like that (clear out day was always fun, as I found lots of stuff that I had forgotten about) – then I got married to an office worker and he ‘organised’ me.
Nowadays it’s scary how organised I have become. I even have a special bowl for all the bills (mind they still end up only getting paid when I remember that they are overdue lol).
hot cover, count me in.
Thanks so much Karen.
