Besides my phone, CPU, monitor, monitor stand, keyboard, mouse and mousepad, I have:
- two empty soda cans (diet A&W root beer and diet Pepsi - OK, I'm still working on the Pepsi, but it is almost empty).
- my cell phone
- a piece of paper with notes for a brief for Monday's paper
- a red Bic "round stic fine USA" ballpoint pen
- a promotional toy from Quizno's, one of those little cars you pull back and let go of and it zooms away. This one looks like a rocket.
- a promotional card from the Popcorn Board. When opened, a little speaker plays the sound of popcorn popping. "Give your ears a little treat," the card urges.
- a promotional toy from Dairy Queen to flog their Moolatte frozen blended coffee. It is one of those old-fashioned canisters that you turn upside-down, then right-side up and it moos. Cute.
- an impressively feisty purple and green vinelike plant, which is in a yellow pot on top of my CPU (which is protected by folded-up newspaper under the pot). Besides the vine, which I love, the pot contains a small, white ceramic insulator and a pica pole (a type of ruler for unusual people).
I don't know what my desk says about me, but there you have it.

Okay, this is fun and a good distraction from the FINAL actual work project that sits solidly between me and my maternity leave.

Half full ( :) ) bottle of Arrowhead water
Half empty San Diego Zoo mug of coffee

Pedometer - reading "0" steps for today - reminding me (as though the dog weren't already) that I haven't walked yet today
Forest Green telephone (must be from the 80s)
Box of Zen inspirational cards
Mint green crocheted coaster (its NOT my house - give me a break)
Stenopad with endless To-Do lists
New Albertsons "Preferred" Savings Card - just arrived in response to signing up for home grocery delivery
