At the risk of being redundant
I just have to write once again about the joys of my clean-desktop lifestyle.
Just a few moments ago, I was drinking a latte while eating a pumpkin muffie from Panera Bread and reading Unclutterer.
Then a potential disaster struck: I inadvertently tipped over my latte. It was still in its paper cup with the sippy-cup type lid, so I didn’t lose too much latte, thank goodness. But I was able to grab my napkin and wipe up my desk and nothing was ruined. Two months ago, the desktop would have been covered in paper (which wouldn’t have stopped me from drinking a latte) and when the spill occurred, I would have been trying frantically to save the paper. I doubt I would have had a cloth napkin handy. (I brought that from the kitchen when I put my muffie on a plate.) It would have been a sopping, day-ruining mess.
Yet another reason why I love the fact that I’m able to clean my desk off every evening.

Grape jelly. Yikes. At least it doesn’t move fast! Thanks for the comment, John!

Hi Janine!
Great post— just recently, I spilled some grape jelly on my keyboard. It was just a snack but boy, you never saw someone run so fast for a towel to try and salvage the keyboard. So I know what you mean.
