Tonight, I pulled our computer desk away from the wall to investigate a funny noise emanating from one of our computers. I had known for a while that there was quite a bit of stuff under the desk, but I had avoided looking in detail because of the fearsome dust bunnies under there. However, since I had already pulled the desk out, tonight I decided to brave the dust bunnies and liberate all the stuff that had been under there. Here’s the list of items recovered:
- Creative Zen Nano Plus (MP3 Player)
- My old National City ATM card (Elizabeth likes to play with it)
- My old AOK Krankenkasse (HMO) card from Germany (see above)
- “Klear Kloth” Lint-free polishing cloth (in wrapper)
- A plastic ball (Elizabeth’s)
- A soft cloth ball that looks like a hacky-sack (ditto)
- A plastic donut (ditto)
- A rock Elizabeth brought in from the playground
- A penny
- Another penny
- A third penny
- A guitar slide
- A small barret
- A small container of Playdoh
- A huge Crayola marker
- A yellow highlighter
- A large Crayola crayon
- A small piece of a broken large Crayola crayon
- A hexagonal crayon of unknown origin
- A SD card holder
- A UConn Huskies baby bottle (missing lid)
- One stale teddy graham
- The lid to a marker of unknown whereabouts
- A card showing Noah’s ark (part of a children’s game)
While it was great to find all these things, I now have the onerous task of finding their correct locations. And, I still haven’t figured out exactly where that noise is coming from.
