Arby tagged me with an interesting tag.
jsgay97 has started Messy Mondays.
And luckily for me they tie-in.

I'm calling it "multi-tasking" since the more honest description would be "lazy" and that just doesn't have the same ring to it.

The mess:
I propose starting Messy Mondays where we post pictures of whatever our biggest mess is at the moment. Who wants to join me?

The tag:
What's on your desk?

You can tell a lot about a person by the state of their desk and what they keep on it. So, share what's on your desk. You can take pictures, take an inventory, or do both. Don't have a desk? That's okay, just give us a glimpse into the space where you pay bills, write letters, grade papers, study, or work on the computer.

When you've finished your photos or inventory, post it on your blog and tag five more people to do the same. Don't forget to share the rules with those you tag and ask them to share their posts with you when they are done.

Yesterday, I dropped "My Precious"  so today I had to use the old stand-by camera with no flash. The picture is really bad and I apologize but I didn't want a little thing like a bad picture to prevent me from playing along.

So without further ado, I give you- my mess of the moment and the closest thing I have to a desk:

This is an ongoing mess. I'll clean it up and within days it's a mess again.
This is my forever Messy Mondays.

The far right is my stack of books I'm presently reading. My mood of the moment dictates which book I pick up to continue in.
The basket with a handle holds blank note cards and an ink pad and some stamps.
The basket to the right it has mail that I've organized.
The pile in the center are the new bills and some junk mail that I need to go through and maybe even pay.
The phone is a leash phone (corded) since every storm brings a loss of electricity.
There's also some loose change that one of my kids has apparently straightened out. Probably to count it...

There's a lollipop in the pencil holder that does not belong to me.
Behind the pencil holder is a pile of "gotta have on hand" stuff  like dentist appointments and the veterinarian's business card.
The pile to the left of the pencil holder actually contains folders that are organized for paid bills.
Oh, and on the far right is a candle that I need to toss. Maybe I'll do that today. The trash can is three feet from it.
The frames each have artwork done by friends and family.
Ok, that was just ugly.
So I'm tagging:
