I noticed these guys poking out of the flower beds behind work last week, and I was glad to see that they survived the snow storm. Yay! Spring may actually be coming!

Hardly working?
I was the last man standing at work. There were about 10 of us in the office, which normally has about 60 people, to start the day. People panic when it snows (do they not know that they live in New England? I really don’t get that) and it was dead quiet, so by noon I was the only one left.
I had thrown this old sweatshirt on over my sweater when I left in the morning because it was so cold, and took it off when I got to the office. After lunch I got cold and decided that if there was no one there to see me it was okay to wear it. That sweatshirt is 11 years old, and I love it. both sleeves are completely frayed on the edges and there’s paint on it from various apartments. I might keep it until I die.

Felted love
I bought these felted wool bracelets from greyleaf on Etsy and they arrived while I was in DC/VA. I managed to find coordinating sweaters to wear to work two days in a row (and have a third for Wednesday, too!). The sweater I’m wearing in this picture is actually one that I bought on my lunch break because I found a hole in the sweater I had on. I bought it because it coordinated with the bracelets.
I love them so much that I’m thinking about buying more colors. And perhaps the bigger bangle she sells as well.

As seen on TV
Becky and I were making fun of all the crazy ads we saw on TV while borrowing cable from her BIL last week, but it turns out I really do NEED an Aqua Globe for my plant at work so it doesn’t look like this every time I get back from vacation! Only they come in sets of 4, and I only want 2.
ETA: Turns out CVS sells them in 2 packs, so I think I’ll pick some up after all!

Madeline Bovine
Ten on Tuesday….
1. This is Madeline Bovine, who was given to my by a former coworker when I left the my last company. She has 6 different outfits and lives on my desk at work. I usually keep her on my shelves where I’m the only one that gets to see her, but I recently moved her out near my Christmas tree because I think she’s fitting of the seasonal decor. She’s gotten a lot of compliments. If you would like a Madeline Bovine of your own, you’re going to have to eBay for her.
2. My Christmas tree has also garnered a lot of compliments at work.
3. I am not complaining about the warm weather, but I cannot handle going from 0 (with windchill) to 60 in the span of three days.
4. Speaking of 0 to 60 in three days, I’m all registered for the 2009 Breast Cancer 3-Day! This year I’m walking in Boston, and our team name is Babes for Boobs, and we’re recruiting members. If you’re even remotely thinking about it, email me and I’ll fill you in! If you’re not interested in walking/volunteering…don’t worry, I’ll hit you up for money soon.
5. Walking in the 3-Day last October was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever done. I think that everyone I know should get involved somehow – walking, crewing, or coming out to cheer the walkers on. I can’t really put it into other words…it was just absolutely amazing.
6. I’m sad that I can’t walk in DC again next year so that I could go through that with my sisters again.
7. My collection of holiday music is large enough to last me almost an entire work day.
8. Work has been a bit hectic recently as we all try to wrap up everything we need to wrap up for year end…and try to kick off everything we need to kick off for ’09. Thank God vacation is coming soon.
9. Thanks to Guitar Hero, I think that Pete’s left hand is going to turn into a claw, a la Friends (cut to 2:50 if you don’t know what I’m talking about).
10. Why is it only Tuesday?
