<p>On another thread, we’re talking about the cluttered state of our homes/offices, thanks in part to the college app process. What is the most bizarre thing currently cluttering up your home workspace?</p>
<p>For me, it’s the life-size cutout of Mr. Spock, but I blame dh, not the college app process.</p>
<p>I share my office with S2’s ever-growing Lego collection, which takes up a lot of real estate, but probably the oddest things in the room belong to me, not him: my wind-up walking sushis.</p>
<p>I often wonder if my washer and dryer are located in the home office or if my home office is located in the laundry room.</p>
<p>The box of old, fancy silverware (my grandmother’s?) that my mother insisted on giving me, but that I don’ t have any use for and wasn’t able to palm off on my son for his college apartment. </p>
<p>Also, a glow-in-the-dark volleyball from my son’s post-prom all night party four years ago.</p>
<p>A plumeria tree. We keep it in the office because the cats like to dig the dirt out of the pot. I might have to move my coffee plant in there as well.</p>
<p>A 2-foot tall papier-mache monster that D made for dad to decorate his office at work. Dad decided to keep it at home.</p>
<p>A small, framed drawing of what I can only describe as a very cute alien baby in a stripped snowsuit. </p>
<p>To support the art students on campus, I would always buy at least one item, usually a mug or print to give as a gift. But I was very stressed about finals and this little picture made me laugh, so I bought it. I aced all my exams and he became my lucky charm. </p>
<p>Did I mention the small frame he came in is bright pink? It really does stand out but I love it.</p>
<p>I want a life-size cutout of Mr. Spock.</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>I have one of those hairy balls in my desk area…</p>
<p>kinda like this:</p>
<p>[3-COLOR</a> PUFFER BALL ~ Balls ~ Puffer Balls ~ Crane Items ~ Counter Merchandise](<a href=“404”>404)</p>
<p>A telescope.</p>
<p>An urn with the ashes of one of my dogs.</p>
<p>I have a robot made out of paper, 3 demonsional 2 feet tall, that my Odyssey of the Mind team gave me as a thank you for coaching them. It sits on top of the filing and reminds me to creatively solve the problems by having fun. </p>
<p>I also have some old Beanie Babies including the Princess Diana Rememberance Bear and Yr 2000 Bear, sitting on the window sill.</p>
<p>I have a mess!</p>
<p>I think DougBetsy is the winner, so far.</p>
<p>I have a pocket size Etch-A-Sketch.</p>
<p>I am working in a temporary location, which is another businesses conference room and I am literally surrounded by Disneymania- posters, lithos,cells, hats, ties, a top of the wall shelf of 2 ft tall dwarves & others, 4 ft Mickey & apprentice broom, 3 ft tall beauty & beast, etc.</p>
<p>With 20+ figures around the top of three of the walls I am being watched by all these eyes ;)</p>
<p>I’d rather be watched by Dopey than the entire crew of the Starship Enterprise.</p>
<p>jdsmom, re Post #4: I’ll take that fancy silverware off your hands if you like. ;)</p>
<p>I’d rather be watched by Jean Luc Picard!</p>
<p>I can’t beat the life-size cut out of Mr. Spock.</p>
<p>But, I do have right next to me on the (supposedly) fancy, professional-looking desk: the eight-year old’s pink jewelry box, each drawer stuffed with ‘clothes’ for her extensive stuffed-animal collection. Biz papers are covered w/a layer of hello kitty stickers, pink hair ribbons, etc.</p>
<p>There’s a reason I go to the library to work…</p>
<p>A Jesus bobble-head.</p>
