Tableau de la Vie


Clockwise around the "Allah likes wondrous variety" bowl, from upper left: The Zombie Survival Guide and Neil Gaiman's Stardust (with graffitied prayer-week flyer as bookmark); very varietal magazines, Chloe's "All's Well That Ends Well" script, and MJ's daisy choker; Conor's Coke (mostly gone despite its unopened appearance), Nature Conservancy literature, MJ's letter from penpal Randi, and a scrap of wrapper from a pack of Skittles; MJ's pretties; snap peas and the invite to the cast party; pencil, my rather lengthy to-do list for tomorrow, and our rather full calendar for 2008; "Feed Your Brain" reading program sheet from Half Price Books, Princess Diaries, MJ's less smelly lotion, and a hairband; Home Depot coupon that I'm saving to throw away after it expires and Chloe's portable Advil ibuprofen; a piece of grass (???); kitty coaster.

Underneath the table are various shoes, packs, jackets, and the cute flower Robin brought Chloe at her last performance.

This is what "clutter free" and "ready for company" look like in our house.
