List Tuesday: I Miss The Innocence That I've Known

Ooh! Look! A list! I thought we'd never see one of these again!!

Grey and/or Black Things on My Grey and/or Black Desk

1. My keyboard


2. The buttons on my keyboard


3. My mouse


4. The buttons on my mouse


5. My computer


6. My computer dock


7. My monitor (not the middle part that shows whatever I'm working on, only the rest of it)


8. My stapler


9. My tape dispenser


10. My water bottle


11. A pen


12. A piece of plastic that showed up while I was on vacation


13. My computer bag


14. Another pen


15. Two 25-ton Press punch tips (no, the punch tips don't weigh 25 tons, you smart aleck, the press presses with 25 tons of press force)


16. A cable to plug my speakers into my computer (unplugged)


17. A cable to plug my cell phone into a power outlet (unplugged)


18. The wireless receiver for my wireless keyboard and mouse


19. Some more cables. I can't really see them very well because they are behind my monitor. I imagine at least one of them is the cable for my monitor, because where else would that be?


20. A spring???


21. My phone


22. The buttons on my phone


23. Also, the buttons on my cell phone, but those are only kind of on the desk because my phone is sitting on top of my computer.

Things on My Desk That Have Any Color Whatsoever

1. A picture of my son: many-colored


2. The green frame surrounding picture of said son: green


3. The logo on my water bottle: sort of orangey-red


4. A bunch of tiny, pale yellow post-its: pale yellow


5. The Rubbermaid, I mean Farberware container that, until recently, held my lunch of leftover peppers, potatoes, tomatoes and steak: white with a yellow lid


6. My Disneyland mousepad: mostly primarily colored with a few accents thrown in for good measure


7. A bottle of hand sanitizer because I work in a trailer in the parking lot with no clean running water: white. Well, clear really. (This is not a joke. I truly do work in a trailer. You have to believe me on this one)


8. My monitor, the middle part of it that shows whatever I'm working on: currently mostly white with a little bit of blue and orange


9. Six small green lights on my computer accessories


10. Nothing else

And you wonder why I don't write lists more often?
