What's on my dining room table today

My dining room table is the major clutter magnet of our household. My guess is that it's some kind of gravity well formed because there's a wide flat surface which only has a purpose a couple of times a day. Objects from throughout the house are mysteriously drawn to it and have to be removed before dinner can be eaten.

Today, there's:

• a cat purse
• vampire fangs
• a treatise on German longsword
• a bar of soap shaped like a brain
• a bug jar (thankfully sans bug)
• a Tribble
• Christmas ornaments
• a ten foot balloon (not inflated)
• a lego catalog
• two boxes of tissues
• hair detangler for kids
• a taekwondo class schedule
• several books
• an ad for the library's book sale

I love my family. There's a lot of awesome here.
