…and mail from the Duchess. Twelve minutes and 51 seconds of me rambling about what I’m reading, watching, and some of my favorite makeup. Have a great Wednesday!

Secret Pals and Such

Posted on 17 January 2012 | 1 response

Having a secret pal is fun. I remember when the teachers at my elementary school all had one and I thought “I can’t wait to be a teacher so I can have a secret pal.” Bingo.

I came back from the Christmas holiday to new office furniture. All I have to say is I am VERY happy with the support in my new office chair. That and the arrangement of things on my desk is not at all what it looks like now. For one thing my phone belongs on the other side of my monitor. I never hold the phone to my right ear. Also, there are fewer boxes and LOTS more paper.

Ahh. More on the contents of this box later.

Early January sunset. Oklahoma, you do not disappoint.

I’m happy to announce that I have a working Keurig again. Hooray!

I almost finished it last night, but I was tired of crying over it — so I’m finishing The Bridges of Madison County this morning and blubbering into my coffee mug. Are you on Goodreads?

As promised, Jennifer and I got together and talked about Downton Abbey. Hopefully it’s a little bit entertaining for you all! The next episode should have the kinks worked out. And I’ll bring my own notes.

Listening Lately

A few songs in rotation around here recently…

The Band Perry…I enjoy your music despite the fact that one of the boys has a haircut that he clearly stole from Melissa Etheridge. The lyrics in this one are nice.

This is one of my favorite covers that I’ve heard Tori Amos perform. Her rendition of the song has been floating around for a while, but this performance was from a month ago. Lovely.
