Express Yourself - Pic of work/writing area
It's Express Yourself time!
This week's subject...
post a pic of your work area, writing, cubicle, craft, etc. Then explain what it is that you do.
Besides writing and raising four sons with my hubby, I also work in the family business.
No, it's not the mob, and we don't go around "offing" people. O_o
I work at a floral shop. :)
This is my work area. It might not look like it, but out of those who work here, I'm notoriously clean. I do not like to have a messy place to work at. The others will be standing on piles of stems, petals, and greenery while I try to get my mess into the trashcan.
Designing flower arrangements isn't all that's required of me. Other things I do on a daily basis at the flower shop:
customer service, process flowers, counsel grieving families, shoulder to cry on for said family, advice giver, poet (when someone wants a creative message on their card), computer work, window display designer, detective (when someone doesn't give a correct address or doesn't know where a funeral is located, etc.) and a keeper of secrets. You'd be surprised at the things people confess, but I've been sworn to secrecy. :D
The next photo shows one of the places I write.
I use two laptops. One for research, emails, and blogging while the other I save for actual writing and beta stuff.
On the pink laptop, my youngest put a Toy Story sticker on it for me. He "sticker-fies" everything. :) I heart my sweet boy!
Oh, and my favorite coffee mug is on the table, too... Grumpy.
Where do you work and/or write at?
As always, happy writing!

I didn't know about this meme! How fun. I love seeing your writing area and envy all the flowers. It's great to have a family business too. (I did get Don Vito Corleone vision of chin brushing.) Hey, gave you a mention in my blog today-- thanks for always supporting. :)
ReplyDeleteYou should join!
DeleteLOL to the Corleone comment. :D
Thanks for the mention on your blog!!!
You did always keep your area clean. Me on the other hand, I was a stem throwing culprit. lol. I miss the shop sometimes... during the slow seasons. hehe.
ReplyDeletehehe :D
Deletei love it!! two laptops--doesn't get much better and you get to be around flowers all day--one lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteDo you still notice the smell of flowers, or does it dull after a while?
ReplyDeleteAt the shop, all the flower scents merge together and can give me a giant headache. LOL But if I have flowers at home, I can smell them and enjoy them.
DeleteFun pics! It's snowing here, so it was nice to see some fresh, beautiful flowers. ;)
ReplyDeleteAww. I'm glad you liked the pic!
DeleteThat's actually pretty interesting about the floral shop--I never really thought about all those other things you may have to do. And that looks like a nice cozy spot to write! Sometimes I sticker-fy things myself, when I'm feeling silly. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteMy camera was too embarrassed to snap the shot of my work space. :P
ReplyDeleteLove your flower work area!
Thanks!
DeleteLove the flowers! Nice comfy lounge!
