Desk top inventory - What's on yours?

Post by geospyder » Sun Jan 03, 2010 1:35 pm

I was just looking at my desk in the den and was surprised at what an eclectic collection of items on it.

One framed picture of my wife and I
One paperweight with a picture of my wife and I walking on a beach
Three rubber frogs
My wallet
Glass of milk (just ate lunch)
One stuffed dinosaur
One large Bubble wand
Two CD’s of Burning Man pictures
Three beer coasters – Murphy’s Irish Stout, Heineken and Ichthyosaur IPA Great Basin Brewery
One gold doubloon
One rubber bat with a sticker on the back that says “Abandoned Mines Are For Bats Not peopleâ€
You know it's going to be a bad day when you jump out of bed and miss the floor.

This page ain't long enough and I don't want blisters on my fingers.

I rarely use the PC, so the business side of the desk is awash in old programs on CD, music CDs, scrap paper, my address book, handcuff keys, a container of paper clips, a paper punch, a pencil sharpener, a basket with misc. cards and papers, speakers and software manuals for old programs.

The top of the rolltop desk faces two ways, business nook and sitting area; I use it as a room divider. Facing me would be three Egyptian gods, small glass Buddhas,six framed pictures of family including one of Larry and I with the Rising Sons in Japan. The other side is a porcelain monkey pedestal topped with a draping plant, Larry's Navy retirement shadowbox with folded flag, a turtle lamp, three pieces of native pottery, two small glass urns, a large metal urn with silk grass and a pieces of blown glass given to me when the artist was dismantling the Gates of Heaven on the playa and a Man-shaped tuning fork, a small cast resin raven, a gold candlestick with one of Larry's candles, a tall chrome candle stick with a frosted glass tulip cup and hanging bead spider, and a plate holder with a square frosted glass plate with a Burning Woman figure from 2005. And a small Persian carpet under it all.

The file cabinet next to the desk has the dollhouse on top.

I'm doing this from memory because I'm using my laptop in bed just now.
