Thirteen Things Cluttering My Desk Right Now

1. Marcus' Camera that I borrowed. I borrowed it to take pictures of my birthday presents earlier this week. Mine still doesn't focus well. I suppose I'll have to get a new one.
2. My coffee mug almost full of coffee. I forgot to finish drinking it this morning. I'm sure the milk has soured from the coffee acid by now.
3. A breakdown of the hours I worked this week. I need to report them to the unemployment office on Sunday.
4. A complimentary notepad from Marcus' place of employment. Hey, the stuff was free for visitors--I was visiting. I have a couple of big calendars, too.
5. An application for the upcoming Capitol Hill People's Fair Image Contest. I'd really like to enter. I keep missing the deadline, or I get really sick, or they cancel the contest (like last year). The prize is $300 plus some t-shirts and passes to the fair. Not a way to get rich, but it would be nice to be able to put that I won something on my resume.
6. A stack of blank CDs I found while cleaning. I have no idea where they came from.
7. A bunch of receipts. They fell out of my wallet when I wrote my car payment check.
8. A list of job search web sites. Not that they're helping much.
9. A pair of socks that I keep forgetting to put in the laundry. I always take my socks off back here in my craft/computer room. I need to stop doing that.
10. Bank statements that I need to balance my checkbook. I haven't balanced my checkbook since I lost my job. I should really do that, though it's not hard to lose track of no money.
11. Five cross-stitch patterns that I need to scan. I always print out a duplicate copy of any pattern before I start stitching so that I can write on it and I won't ruin the original.
12. A couple of 3M Command hooks. They're to hang up a sign I'm making (if I ever finish it).
13. My business card from my silk screening job. I figured I'd keep one for awhile. It was from my first "design" job, afterall. Damn, I miss working there.
