inventory time

took a quick inventory this morning of my desk area. here are some highlights of what i have cluttering up my work space:

• giant box of oreos, newly acquired [this morning, in fact] from my co-worker suzanne
• nectarine that i failed to eat yesterday, growing a bit mushy
• peanut butter & raspberry jelly sandwich, also from yesterday
• bag of almonds & pecans
  
• mary poppins umbrella
• two vhs tapes, contents unknown
• wind-up dancing bee
• a lot of pens
• two stacks of post-it notes
• two packets of starbucks instant coffee
• a lot of paper
• the stanley thermos
• my to-do list
• pile of my own business cards
• files upon files upon files
• two back issues of vogue [one from 2005, one from 2006]
  

this is really only the tip of an ever expanding iceberg. i wish i could describe my 'wall of fame' that looms large over my desk...essentially 5 years [since we moved to the new office] of pictures, drawings, articles, quotes, notes, etc. that have found their way to my cork strips, magnetic desk and memo board. it's kind of amazing, actually.
