Hidden Treasures

Today I was cleaning out my desk and I found all kinds of stuff. I love being a random thinker (not ADD… just random) because anytime I clean out anything its like a whole new adventure of, “wow! I remember that!”

I like the picture with the “know it all” ribbon. It is funny. My Aunt Judy sends me boxes full of promotional advertising stuff all the time. She goes to a lot of conventions.

That ribbon was my first find today. I mean, I have pretty much “known it al”l since I was able to string two words together. I think those two words were, “MINE, MINE!”

I keep telling you … narcissism is a curse! Especially if you know everything like me.

Then I found a finger puppet of a bumble bee. Another friend of mine, God bless ‘er, gave that to me when I first moved to Florida. She told me that modern engineering cannot figure out how a bumble bee flies. Meaning that aerodynamically and structurally there is allegedly no possible way for that bee to fly … and yet it does. She says that a bumble flies because God wants it too. The moral of the story is that even if you see no way, at all, ever, it’s impossible … that with God all things are possible if it is in His will.

Awww…. Rufus ( my Mac) and Bumble the Bee get along great.

That was very sweet and encouraging of her. But I have to admit that Bumble has been in my desk for six years. I think I took it out once when I was being yelled at on the phone by a very grumpy person. I pretended it was the bee yelling at me. That made the whole ordeal more bearable.

Was that passive aggressive? Immature? … it was totally all that … but it was funny … very funny … and I still had to work through whatever issue it was.

So, while boxing up employee files, drafts of manuals, and bunches of important work documents … I am finding fun things like the above plus a ton of paper clips and four (why do I have four?) staple remover monster things with sharp teeth, pens shaped in various fruit configurations, funny pictures and cards, and coffee mugs. Some folks have given me some strange mugs. I even found a card that sang a Run DMC song to me when opened it up.

Just face it, if you send me something silly…it’s probably going to live with me for quite a while.
