Five.

I was just thinking to myself "I need to take a blog break." This is a time during the day that I take a few minutes to construe a somewhat cohesive articulation of the randomness that swirls through my head on a daily basis.

Coincidentally, I happened to drop by a friend's blog and saw this little number that I think I will repeat.

Thanks, Em!

Lists of Five

Five Things At Work

• The James Bond ringtone on my office phone. Usually makes me smile every time it rings. Depends who's calling.
  
• Enjoying non-alcoholic Mad Men style happy hour complete with virgin bloody Marys, a cheese tray, and stuffed olives. Invitation only.
  
• Finally feeling like I'm making valuable contributions to a really substantial project.
• Seasonal Pumpkin Spice coffee for K-Cups.
• Getting to play with Kindles all day :)

Five Things At Home

• Starting to get the office looking like an office (and having a new room to decorate)!
• Martha Stewart-style organization project in the laundry room (functional and fabulous).
  
• Finally breaking out the sewing machine. This could be delightful or disastrous.
  
• Working on a variety of home-based projects (things I can do at home that aren't related to things actually in my house...design work, book, etc.).
• Our new view. Love looking at the park as apposed to a parking lot!
