Cleaning House

Today I was seized with one of my let's-rearrange-the-room! moods. Only it's tough to move anything in my room. One of my two bookshelves is too heavy for me to move when it's empty. And my desk placement is somewhat contingent on where the cable connection rests. Anything too close to the drafty windows is a bad idea.

So I ended up cleaning and moving small items around. It looks nicer. Plus, I finally got an empty box and put a bunch of paperback books inside to donate to Books to Prisoners.

But I thought it might be fun to make a list of items in my room to give you a limited, warped perspective of my surroundings.

# of live greenery in my room: four tulips in two old glass apothecary jars and one bamboo stalk
# of framed photographs: 11 (10 of family/friends and 1 of panda)
# of reams of paper on my desk: 5 and a half
Weirdest thing in my room: Tough one. Probably my panda face binoculars.
# of antique chairs I don't use for sitting: two
# of closets: two
Color of walls: very pale yellow, maybe buttercream
# of windows: two (And that view of concrete parking lot cannot be beat!)
# of pairs of shoes resting on the bottom shelf of my small bookshelf: nine
What I use to hold pens/pencils/scissors: A Brodies' Scottish Teatime tin (top removed)
# of alcohol bottles in sight: one, but it's a nip and my Mom gave it to me! She doctored a Southern Comfort to read Southern Discomfort.

Thanks for taking the tour!
