the secret drawer of hidden delights

That sounds so much better than "junk drawer" doesn't it? I have this drawer in my desk here at work (because at home, practically all of my drawers are junk drawers...) that has, in the few brief months I've been here, gathered the most interesting assortment of stuff you can imagine.

Actually, you don't need to imagine, because I'm here today to take you on a virtual lunchtime tour of The Secret Drawer of Hidden Delights. The contents, at this very point in time, include:

-2 sample packets of Advil (they were giving them away on the street outside the train station! woohoo! free drugs!)
-a zip lock bag containing 4 mini powder sugar donuts
-a zip lock bag containing 1 pepridge farm Tahiti cookie
- a bag of Almond Munchies of the honey dipped variety
- a bag of trail mix (cranberries, nuts, chocolate chips)
-hair brush, eye drops, nasal sprays of many varieties, tooth brush, tooth paste, gum, hand sanitizer, Head On, ponytail holders
-two nutrigrain type bars (strawberry)
-many many many self stick stamps already stuck on pieces of paper (? maybe in the hopes that these are salvageable?)
-part of a chunky kit kat bar, and a mini reeses crispy crunchy bar (can you tell I have a sweet tooth and like to snack??)
-A&W Root Beer throat drops
-box of biz cards (mine)
-staple taker-outer
-eye glass cleaner and little towel
-kleenex
-blank cd
-get well cards
-tin box with assorted pens, magnets, pencils, ruler, computer screen cleaner brush, thumb tacks
-assorted biz cards (not mine)
-random promotional video
-envelope of random stuff from old employer that needed to live here for reasons now uncertain.
-glue stick
-sheet of tack strips to hold up those big post-it pads...
-old pair of reading glasses (totally not mine. some previous desk owner's legacy to me)
-shout wipes (in case I make a mess after all this snacking)
- assorted cold remedies

There you have it. It's quite the delightful hodge podge, isn't it?
