Trying to make up for things

Have you ever not done something, and then kind of tried to make up for it, but failed completely?

My blog is feeling like that lately.

I really want to sit down and make some awesome posts, but I'm just exhausted by the time I get to the computer! Some of you may know that, in addition to the evil job that I hate (but really, there are very few people lucky enough to have jobs they don't hate!), I'm also stage manager for a local production of Guys and Dolls, which keeps me out late for rehearsals. And I'm house-hunting. And puppy training. There's definitely a lack of free time lately.

There is also a lack of sleep, which totally messes with my memory! I was downstairs, and I had an awesome idea for a post, something about making up for stuff by doing other things, but by the time I got upstairs, turned on the computer, and logged into Blogger... it was gone. And it was really witty, too! I made myself laugh! Stupid, tired brain.

I've decided, however, to start an ongoing feature in my blog: what's on my desk? Bit by bit, you'll get to see the crap that surrounds and inspires me. Woot!

Today's "What" is:


It was a birthday gift from Claire! Notice the carefully placed reflection from the desk light - there will be no questionable photos in my blog today! I love my kilt coaster. It's made it through a couple of complete desk overhauls, and I think it will last until, well, until it falls apart!
