I feel like I should update my Blog, but I haven't found much in the way of interesting links today. Maybe I should tell you a story about myself. Except I can't really think of anything interesting. Therefore, I will describe what lives on top of my monitor at work, which I'm sure isn't boring at all:

• Wind-up lobster. I don't know, somehow on my business trips I always manage to buy some kind of ocean-related creature.
  
• Wind-up crab. This was from a trip to Maryland. Not on my monitor is my swordfish puppet, acquired in Colorado.
  
• "Stress ball" with company logo.
  
• Wind-up penguin. That one was a gift! Honest!
  
• Wind-up chattering teeth. Another gift from my officemate. I really don't know how all this started..
  
• Wind-up glow-in-the-dark angel. ??
  
• Rubber green scarab beetle, a gift from friends Alex and Amy, which goes with
  
• Rubber pyramind

Also on my monitor are strange post-it notes from co-workers. They are:

• Sprouts!
  
• Bisons, bears, & birds--oh my!

Don't ask me.
