That reminds me, too...

My diswasher - Every time I load it. I am still amazed that there is someone in this world that agrees with me on how to do it properly. I just assumed that it was naturally one of those things that people always disagree on...

The aforementioned stack o' books - Many of them purchased based on recommendations, or products of expanded interest based on suggestions. I think the pile grows faster than it shrinks...

iPhone charging cord - a stretch, I know. I actually wish it would; they are just too short. Reminds me of the countless hours spent lying on the floor to be near the electrical outlet before discovering the neat-o invention of the extension cord...

My knee - as I sit typing this, my chin rests squarely atop my right knee, arms wrapped around my leg in a pseudo-hugging fashion. At no other time does my body feel the urge to contort itself into this position...

Desktop icon - there is a random thumbnail pic of some flowers sitting in a hotel room that was, what seems like eons ago, saved to my desktop. It is still there, every time I log on or minimize the window I'm working in. Hmmm, they could probably stand a replacement soon...

The rain - especially when it is quiet, like it is now, and raining. I can hear the drops hitting the ground outside, providing a soothing backdrop for lingering thoughts as I head off to dream of a day when I won't have to dream...
