My Messy Desk Monday #1

Welcome to my first weekly installment of My Messy Desk Monday!  A workspace can say a lot about someone.  Here is what my desk is saying today:

My desk has a new setting this week because I moved recently.  My new bedroom has a nice little nook for the desk and I can look out a south-facing window directly to my left.  It makes for a bright, cheery workspace.

On my desk today:

• My Laptop so I can work on my blog today
• Coffee tumbler- You may remember a previous post where I told you I was no longer buying coffee to drink at home.  However, in a more recent post, I shared my joy of shopping at a dented-can store.  One of my purchases included a bag of Starbucks coffee for only $2.50 so I am back to coffee at home.
• An empty bowl that used to have hummus and veggies in it, but I ate it for a midnight snack.  The hummus I brought to yesterday’s family picnic turned out to be not very popular which means I have a lot of it to eat this week. Yum!
• A soup bowl of oatmeal- I bought some instant packets, which I have not done in a while, and found them to be just as sickeningly sweet as before.  I did my best to bland-it-up with some raisins and walnuts with no luck.  Serves me right for straying from my bulk-canister!
• My “book” that I carry with me to hold my cash at work.
• My Ipod that ran along with me for 20 minutes!!! this morning.  This is my longest run yet and is a huge accomplishment for me.  I have mentioned this in my Thrifty Fitness post.
• My planner where I scheduled my first 5-K for October 10.  I had plans to do one on Labor Day but it was for the local running club.  I think for my first race I want more of a fun-run environment so I chose a charity run that one of the sororities puts on.
• Coasters, vase with change, pens, pencils, a notebook, a magazine, etc

Not technically on my desk, but draped across my chair is a new knitting project.  I am using unravelled sweaters to knit a log-cabin style baby blanket.  My hope is more mod-Baby Gap and less hippie handicraft and I am pleased with it so far.  It got good reviews at the picnic yesterday which makes me feel better. You are getting the raggedy ends view today.  I will show a better view when I am further along.

What is your desk saying about you?
