My Desk Area

When I finally rolled myself out of bed this morning, I decided to work on my desk area.  As you can see from the pictures below it is a little messy.  The paint cans came out of the laundry room and still need to be moved out to the shed.  I just didn't feel  like moving them.

As you see below, I was able to clean most of it out. I placed cookbooks that I use or my grandmother left me back in the shelves.  I moved the others to my dining room table for me to go through and place the wanted recipes in my recipe binder and the others will either be recycled (magazines) or given in my donation box.  I didn't take a after picture of the desk because I need to finishing making files for the bottom desk drawer.  When that is finished, then I can mark this off my list.

During the organizing of my desk, I had to make a run to Walmart for the bottom part of the desk.  I was just praying no-one would take a picture of me and place it on the People of Wal-Mart website!!!  Since I was working in the house, I was dressed in Denim overall shorts, a tank top without a bra, baseball cap and my flip flops had sparkles on them!!  Went to 2 different Wal-marts and neither had what I needed. So I stopped at:

for Mark and I sandwiches for lunch.  After lunch, I decided to hang out in the puppy pool.  Gibbs doesn't use it, so I laid out on my floatie and read part of a book.  After about an hour of sun... I went to Staples to get the needed supplies.    By the time I got home, I decided not to finish the files.  Will file tomorrow, that will give me something to do.

I spent the evening stitching, playing on pinterest, and chatting with my friend Kim.  What a great night!!!!
