My new Set up! Don't hate me cause it's beautiful!!

Geez, we moved everything this week.  The kids cleaned their rooms and rearranged.  My dining room got blasted and scrubbed and my office nook edged out about 14 more inches.  I am slowly taking over the dining room.  Actually, it is because I now share the space with another computer desk.  I keep telling myself I have more room.
Here you see my new babies, they aren't identical, but they are beautiful. Dual screen set up. Let me explain the desk. You are about to step into my brain.  You can at this time, STOP, bring your mouse to the green circle with arrow and go back to where you were before you came to this site.  I warned you.  Some people don't really want to know the inside story.
 
 Going from left to right, our stereo system!! You can tell music is not big here, it is mostly for my AM radio and XM old time radio shows.  Behind the radio is a fan, as I get hot head and cold feet.  I have slippers under my computer for that.  Under the radio, my adding machine, as I still do my checkbook the old fashion way.  Toilet paper roll, for those sneezes in the AM.  A perpetual drink.  Pile of letters and note pages with to do lists on them.  Under the fall screen, you find previous stated check book, a box with my daughters broken gold ring that broke 1 day past the guarantee. My eye drops. Then see the rulers! I never really believe the rulers on my photoshop, I check them often.  I also scratch my back with them.  The ever present pair of glasses on my desk. The calendar is the tasks from Tangie.  My mouse looking so cute. There is an easy button from Staples that bothers my hubby that I can't pay full price for anything, but can plunk down $5 for a stupid button.  OOoops, I almost forgot, under the right screen, the one with a website, I think it is DST? (scrap forum) on it.  see that large white dot? Look on the base, see it? That is Abby's last tooth.  I save all my kids teeth in a box.  I am kinda tearing up a bit, cause my babies are growing up on me.  That blue huge thing? That is the monster, my honeys old computer.  The one he made videos on for church, oh yeah, processors that are humongous and video cards that make photo-shop swoon in delight!
The LAUGH on the wall was a present from my family for my birthday years ago, and I look at it often!
Thank you for taking the short trip, and please come again!

Patti!

Just saw your comment on my blog! We are not doing K12, we really have a great thing here in Cali, we are under an umbrella of a charter school, they pay for all of our curriculum. As long as it is not religious, that we have to pay for ourselves. So we have a real diversified stash of curriculum. Math U See for math for the 5th and 6th graders, Teaching Textbooks for my high schooler. Easy Grammar for them all! WE did get Apologia for Science for my high schooler, and he loves it!! it is way easy for me! I don't know if you know of this site, but I enjoy it, have learned alot, has good reviews of things. It is a spin off of a Well Trained Mind? Susan Bauer??somehting or another. Story of the World lady..bha ha ha...

LOL, I love it. I have glasses too, but they are the computer-only glasses and I sometimes forget I'm wearing them and try to go do other stuff...

Your desk is much tidier than mine. Maybe I should print this picture out as a motivator.
