****My Rolltop Desk****

[CaliforniaPeggy]

This is where I pay my bills........

How do you stay organized?

[ZombieNixon]

1. What is this "organized" of which you speak?

:P

No, really, I use the computer to keep all my affairs straight. And I really wish real life had a "Find" function. x(

Nice desk, BTW. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. My dear ZombieNixon!

Thanks!

I wish real life had a find function too!

:hug:

[Haole Girl]

2. I don't, unfortunately....

...I just try not to keep too much paperwork! Good to see you Peggy...I was worried when I thought you'd been kidnapped or something!

Edit: spelling

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear KC2!

I still have a lot of paperwork.....and this desk helps me stay on top of it!

I'm so touched that you missed me!

:hug:

[reyd reid reed]

5. Organized.

Hmmmm. I s'pose. Organized chaos.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear reyd reid reed!

I hear ya!

I used to be that way........then I got this desk.......

Things are much better now!

At least, I have fewer excuses!

:hi:

[haf216]

6. organize????

I think you are speaking a new language. LOL:wtf:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

8. My dear haf216!

I guess I am speaking a new language! Judging from the responses to my thread! :rofl:

[mad-mommy]

9. that is organized !

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. My dear mad-mommy!

Thanks!

It looks cleaner than normally, since I did some major housekeeping on it before I went east to the Ohio meetup last week!

I did NOT want to come home to a mess!

One pile there on my desk had a little spider living in it......that's how long it had been sitting there..........:scared:

[u4ic]

10. Peggy, that's a beautiful desk!

I love roll top desks. A friend has her grandfather's, it's from the late 19th century. Just gorgeous.

I am in a perpetual state of disorganization. :D :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear u4ic!

Thank you, sweetie!

I love them too....

This one is not an antique......I bought it back in the 80's.......

I am pretty disorganized too......but this baby really helps me when I decide to make use of its properties!


:hi:

[Kajsa]

13. That's a beautiful desk, Peggy.

I have a very small computer desk where
I pay my bills online.

Way back when, I was a somewhat organized,
neat person.
Then I ran into one disorganized person after
another, My ex-husband, my son, and now
my boyfriend of many years.

Now, my house looks
like a couple of hand grenades went off in nearly
every room!

It's sad, so sad.

The neatest guys in the house are my two cats.

-sigh-

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. My dear Kajsa!

I'm sorry, sweetie......... :hug:

I hear ya about living with disorganized people......

It's hard to be different!

Not all my bills can be paid online......so there you have it!

And besides, I like writing checks! Go figure.........:shrug:

:hi:

[liberaltrucker]

14. Cool! Mom has one similar!

ME! Organized!!! :wtf:

:hug:

:loveya:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

16. My dear liberaltrucker!

Hey, it's great to see you tonight!

Glad you like my desk......

I cleaned it up before I came east.......didn't want to come home to a mess!

We'll see how long the neatness lasts!

:loveya:

:hug:

[Ptah]

17. I don't see your computer, do you have a stealth computer?

:hi: :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

19. My dear Ptah!

Ah, sweetie.......you don't see my computer because it isn't there!

I have that here upstairs, in my study!

No stealth computers for me!

In a moment, I will fetch and post the picture that shows you where my computer is!

Thanks for coming by!

:loveya:

:hug:

On edit: Here is my study, with my computer!

[liberaltrucker]

21. Nice layout!

Are those actual....books!!!...in the background?

:wow:

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. Thanks!

And yes......those are actual books!

They date from my childhood, through college, and into my so-called adulthood!

:loveya:

:hug:

[leftofthedial]

18. piles of crap

everywhere

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear leftofthedial!

I'm sorry sweetie.....that's no fun at all, is it? :hug:

[leftofthedial]

28. it's not supposed to be fun

it's a system . . .

:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. Well, it is a system.........

I was just trying to be sympathetic!

And not succeeding, I guess! :hug:

[wildhorses]

22. CalPeg, what a nice way to stay organized!!

and what a lovely space for doing such an awful chore. I know you have a housekeeper once every 2 weeks from a previous thread. She does an excellent job, not a speck of dust anywhere!

:hug:



edited so spellcheck could do its job...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

23. My dear wildhorses!

Thanks sweetie! She pretty much leaves my desk alone.......

Yeah, she was just here Wednesday........

I really enjoy doing my paperwork there.....it is an excellent space!

:hug:

[wildhorses]

25. and your study is wonderful as well!!

and organization at the wildhorses shack is somewhat slipshod:blush:



but, one of these days I will do better:patriot:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. Thanks!

It helps to have a big enough room too!

I have never had so much space before..........and it's about time!


I've never been this organized before either.......don't be so hard on yourself, OK?


:loveya: :hug:

[wildhorses]

27. .......

:hug:


you are so right!!

[Fleshdancer]

30. I had a long talk with my bills tonight....

and we decided that they wanted to be paid on your desk. :D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. OK!

Bring 'em on!

Of course, bring your checkbook along with them!

Well played, my dear GloriaSmith! :rofl: :rofl:
