My desk had become a stacking place, and last week I finally cleaned it off so I could work at it. There in the right corner is my printer that doesn’t want to work anymore (which I discovered after shelling out the money for a new ink cartridge). Neal’s antique lamp brightens things for me when I write in the evening–there’s an ashtray built into the base! Pens are in the blue mug with my scissors, and pencils are in my Oxford mug. I keep paintbrushes on the desk even though I haven’t water colored in quite some time, and under the desk is my sewing machine. Behind her is a metal file box that I want to decoupage.
Before I cleaned my desk, I worked here.
Miss Tilly enjoys keeping me company while I write. I think she likes to hear me read stuff out loud to her, but she doesn’t give me much feedback.
Monday is Errand Day for me, so after I shower (yes, I write in my pjs) it’s off to the grocery store, post office, library, and video store. I’ve planned a week of nice meals, and I can’t wait to try this recipe. I’ll also be making Scout’s baked ziti with meat substitute, BLTs with real bacon for Neal, and fakin for me, and this cold soup. Since we’re in for a heat wave, I’m looking for more hot weather vegetarian recipes. Have any you’d like to share?
I’m impressed with the neatness of the desk! Well done!
Thanks for the recipe links. I wish I had a good veggie recipe for you, but I’m a really mediocre cook, so it wouldn’t be much good anyway!
Hmmmmm. It looks too clean! How do you find anything?! 😉
Well, the best hot weather recipe in my mine is the classic tomato-basil-mozzarella salad with balsamic vinegar…it’s a daily staple in our house right now!
Sounds like you have a few yummy sounding meals planned!
My printer at least had the decency to die BEFORE I bought new ink cartridges! Bummer. Once upon a time I had a great recipe for a corn, red bell pepper and jalapeno pepper salad, but I’ll be darned if I can find it…
My printer is giving me fits too — I wonder if this hot weather plugs up the tiny tiny ink jets or something…
Congratulations on the clean desk — OH — what a feeling!
Jae at Domestic Affair (http://domesticaffair.blogspot.com/) has a great cilantro pesto we had last week. I had a nice salad recipe I came up with last year that is nice for this weather (http://www.spacesheep.com/Fiber/2006_05_01_archive.html#114896200430236992)
I love the desk tour. We are all such interesting creatures. Desks reveal this.
