A DESK: THE WINDOW TO YOUR SOUL


Albert Einstein once said, "If a cluttered desk is a sign of a cluttered mind, of what then is an empty desk?" (Don't think I'm so smart that I can quote Albert Einstein at a whim - I read that quote in Domino Magazine, which is more representative of the caliber of my reading these days. My blogger friend halfmama accuses me of not reading lots of text written in small font. Anyway, I've already gone off on a tangent.)

This picture is my desk -- uneditted. The designer in me wanted to clean it up, but I thought it would be against the spirit of this blog. You see, I'm going through a little bit of an identity crisis these days. New mom (1 year), new career (relatively new - 3 years), new city (not really). My blogger friends, halfmama and hi-ho hi-ho off to work i go hi-ho boo-hoo (i had to cut and paste that), are my inspirations. They post with reckless abandon and leave me in tears and stitches. They keep asking me why I don't start a blog and I tell them I have privacy issues and I'm afraid of being scrutinized. But who cares? Really? I think this will be fun, so I'm dedicating this blog to my little peanut. May cluttermom grow up to be an inspiration to you. Rest assured my desk is not empty but overflowing with thoughts of you.
