I thought I should share more about my desk in the Wordless Wednesday post. Apparently not only is a picture worth 1,000 words, it’s worth 1,000 questions too!
#1 – That shelf really isn’t breaking/warped/sagging. I was actually learning how to use the panoramic mode of my digital camera. I didn’t even notice until after I posted that the shelf part was a little off and so it only appears to be broken. It’s very solid – really!
#2 – Does the rest of my house look like this? No – although I am not a great housekeeper. I have gotten a little better over the years though and the office is really the worse spot in the house because it is where everything comes to live I think and it doesn’t help that it’s the smallest room in the house either.
#3 – What is all that stuff? Well, there is a little bit of everything. Receipts seem to be a big nemesis of mine though. I feel the need to save them all and they just land on my desk and multiply – ack! Part of this is also our books/papers for homeschooling, part is computer items, there are some review items in there, a lot of post-it notes, and a lot of misc. junk I just need to go through and organize/recycle. I do a lot of odd-jobs via the internet also and all the related “stuff” comes to this desk also.
#4 – Is it always this bad? No, not that extreme. I’ll clean it up and take another picture for you all soon and you will see. It really appears worse than it actually is – promise :-)
#5 – Why would I post that picture? It is just part of me. I am not the only person in the world with a messy desk (or other messy area of the house). This blog is a way for me to share and with the good you get the bad sometimes too. I could find an image on the internet of some neat and tidy home office, but that wouldn’t be truthful.
CHALLENGE! Ok, so now I challenge you to stop right now and take a picture of your home (or work) office/desk area. No cheating and tidying ANYTHING up before you take the picture either. I’m sure some of you will be spotless, some messy, and some in the middle – it’s all ok. If you post your pic to your blog leave a link so we can all take a peak.
