* two fruity coasters waiting for a cup of coffee
* three flash drives

* small King Kong statue
* pink plastic bucket holding Post-its
* telephone
* address book
* pink computer paper
* flower-bordered notepad
* flower-bordered Post-it cube
* small yellow basket holding two cameras, Iron Man Pez dispenser, smiley-face stress ball, sucker with a grasshopper in it, chapstick, nail file
* Russian lacquer-ware pen holder
* Dragon pen holder
* electric pencil sharpner
* crystal frog with more pens
* candle
* glass star with “Superstar” written on it
* book of affirmations opened to “I am talented”
* leather-bound, hand-made book, intended to be my personal Book of Shadows but which instead has pages of pretty stamps because I was experimenting with them

* dragon stapler
* standing file with things I haven’t looked at in months
* three worry stones: carnelian, bloodstone, clear crystal

well since my desk is the kichen table. I have
Laptop with wireless keyboard
a big plant
bills
flashlight
post-its (lots of them)
flyers
pencile/pen holder
Boy do I wish I have an office with a desk in it.
Some where along I lost my desk and a place to work. So I took over the kichen table when my kids moved back home about couple of years back.

Icia! I lived in Texas when I first started writing, and I had my own office. When my son lost his job, he and his family moved in with me. I culled junk and went to a very small desk that I parked in a corner of my bedroom for privacy. It worked well!
NJ! Four flashes! You have me beat. We are obsessive, aren’t we?

Scarlett! Loved Ironman! I recently tried Lipton’s White Tea. It’s flavored with mango and peach, and is lovely for soothing tattered nerves! Just the scent…!

I heard that Iron Man has a…oh, what’s it called…storyline? Or something.
All I know is, I’m all about the RDJ, baby! š
