Once in a while, something comes along that warms your heart and makes you smile. When that happens, you want to share it with everyone you know, retelling the tale in all its glory to see if it brings even a tiny smile to the face of whoever you are telling it to. That something has not happened to me recently, so I'm not going there.
Where I am going, however, is down a road to my past. Some things are worth remembering, others are not. Oh wait, I have no fond memory to share with you. So, let's not go there either.
Fear not my friends! I'll hold your hand if need be. I warn you, I'm a bit of a pack rat and VERY unorganized. Take a journey with me, will you? Please keep your arms and legs out of my drawers at all times. You never know what might glom onto you…
Here's what it looks like before "cleaning day":

°1 lid from a Tupperware bowl - with a a piece of scotch tape stuck to it. How odd.

°A picture of someone who did their fellowship here that all the girls thought was hot
°A yellow grabbie-thing. I don't know what it is, but if you push the button on top down, these little claws come out of the bottom. It doubles as nipple stimulator in a pinch. (Get it - nipples? Pinch?)

That's it. That's my top desk drawer for you. I found some things I had misplaced. AND, the drawer is clean now. Well, sort of.
