www.inkthinkerblog.com — I am feeling totally overwhelmed by the amount of STUFF sitting on my desk. I vacuumed the office yesterday, so the floor piles got moved to the already-overflowing desk surface, and now I just feel like my head is going to explode! Don’t believe me?

Kristen, Kristen, Kristen! In every single one of those pictures, I can see desk surface, actual wood. Call me when that’s no longer the case and we’ll talk.
So, I shouldn’t feel so bad that my desk is a mess, right? The only problem is that my desk is out in our living room. It used to be in our back room, sort of an office, but it was so secluded from the rest of the house, and I hated being back there all day, so we moved my desk out to the middle of the house, in the living room. I love it! But… I have to keep it somewhat tidy because it’s out where everyone can see it. Now, if I had a laptop I could keep the desk in the back room, but move the laptop wherever I need it. Hmm…
I’m so glad I’m not the only one! At least your mess is contained. I’m a nomad; I spread my work all around the house so there are piles on the couch and piles on the coffee table and piles next to and on the bed and on the desk and, yes, even in the kitchen.

Uh, Noelle, I have a confession to make. Until this afternoon, the rest of my house pretty much looked like the office, except that mess was clothes, newspapers, puppy and kitty toys, half-consumed cans of ginger ale, 25 bajillion rolls of paper towels (we went to Costco the other day), shoes, and about six thousand of those ValPak coupons that I keep setting aside with the intention of getting 10% off my new fence with a free estimate and Chinese food from that new place down the street/around the corner/on the other side of downtown/etc.
