Hey, Kathy two bottles of nail polish sounds fun! And I think I need one of those flip dictionary things. Oh, hide the bills in a drawer, could zap the positive vibes. Unless they’re small bills, I guess. The pearl bracelet caught my eye.

Durn, hope I’m not too late, girlfriend! Still trying to catch up.

Okay, on my desk, not including the computer and all its parts:

Two flash sticks; bills; IPod Nano; paperweight; papers that should be under the paperweight but aren’t; calculator; kleenex; stapler; pearl bracelet; Stein On Writing; Flip Dictionary and last but not least, two bottles of nail polish.

Theresa, how fun! I have a clue that the pine cones and sticks were given to you by children? Or, they could be decoys for those pups of yours.

Good golly, those devil/angel kitties sound mighty interesting. You’ll have to post them on one of your blogs one day. And what’s with the mythical dude wearing the leather gear? Now, there’s a story, you’ll have to share. You must have a verra big desk, girlfriend! Thanks for sharing. That’s for that devil kitty of yours. We need an angel smiley too.

Okay,

You asked for it Ladonna. I’ve been trying to keep my desk situation a secret. :LOL:

This is what I have on my desk, besides the computer, monitor and printer. A thesaurus and dictionary. Various research books on crime and police procedure. Several well read paperbacks by my favorite authors. (purely research, they’re there so I can check and see how my favorite authors do one craft thing or another)

A statue of devil kitty (this is a cat gargoyle where the cat looks like he came straight from Hades. His ears are laid back, eyes narrowed, his wings are tattered and almost bat-like. He looks mean and nasty and up to no good.

One statue of angel kitty (another cat gargoyle. Only this guy is gorgous. A proud kitty with his chest puffed out, and his ears up and his eyes full of pride and goodness. This ones wings are like an angels wings… he looks like he swooped down from heaven.)

A statue of somekind of weird mythological creature– half man/half animal–wearing animal skins and leather half boots.

A statue of the weird mythocal creatures, weird mythical beast of burden. It looks like a cross between an ox and an alpca.

Various note books and files.

Stacking racks full of papers/character sketches/ scenes I’m working on.

A bin holding the hard copy of my current WIP.

A round tin full of pencils/pens.

A square tin full of binder clips and paperclips, chapstick.

A box of computer disks.

A calendar.

A statue of a curled up dragon who appears to be guarding a clutch of just hatching strange eggs…

A thirty pound, long haired orange cat ( a real cat, not a statue)

Maybe five pounds of long orange cat hair.

Half a dozen pine cones (don’t ask…grrrrr)

Four tennis balls.

Three large sticks (again, don’t ask….grrrr)

I need to seriously declutter.

Edie, hope you’re having fun! And the Raddisson, can’t wait for our Hilton experience in Dallas. I have stones too btw. And I knew you’d bring up Belle. Too cute.

You and Liz have fun and be safe! Call me if ya need a bail-out, and I’ll gather a posse!

LaDonna, a fun blog. I’m at the business office of the Raddisson (sp?) Hotel, and their desk is empty! Not like mine. Papers, papers, folders and more papers. I also might have a cat lying on it. A container of pens, sharpies, scissors, paper clips, etc. I can’t keep candles, not with a cat. Same thing with the lucky stone I used to have on my desk. My printer and speakers, of course. Except for the cat, it’s very boring.

Liz, your desk sounds fun! Everyone has a cat! I didn’t remember that Karin had one too. And Edie does. I had to smile here thinking of Jody’s, ‘She Who Needs To Be Held’, too. Now a baby, that’s more my style.

And Liz, after conference you’ll have a new pic to add to your collection. Four of the Five Magical gals! We’ll computer generate Theresa’s pic, making it complete.

Michelle, I’m fascinated with your country! Even though it’s almost summer in TN, I always have a cuddle blanket close at hand. It’s what I do every evening on the sofa too with notes, a laptop, or good book. And Chloe sounds like such a creative child. She’ll probably set the world on fire!

Karin, a blooming orchid sounds great! I swear, I bought this desk thinking I’d like lots of space. I filled it up in no time, and it’s too crammed now. Go figure! Ah, is that adding machine to add all those smokin’ sales?

Let’s see … notes, folders, more notes, Thesarus, dictionary, did I mention notes?

The cat plants her big but right behind my keyboard and is probably gunking up my harddrive with her fur. Let’s see, what else? A dragon figurine, pictures my daughter drew me, photos of my writer friends from past conferences.

Tons more but those are some of the highlights.
