can you read at your desk without anyone seeing you? I would do that if I could.
Unfortunately no. I am in a row of 5 cubicles and then behind us are managers offices. And everyone is here today.

is that why one of my graphic designers is out today????
If he or she is in India probably. All the developers I work with are closed today and back tomorrow.
Today is Republic Day in India. This means work is very slow for me.

I am really looking forward to Friday night. Phil and I are hitting up the record store for The Smile Sessions Vinyl (which I am super excited about), we are also going to hit up the bookstore, and a coffee shop. Should be a fun evening.

who’s life are you living :)
Someone who has enough money that they never have to worry about it. Someone who doesn’t have to have a full-time job. A lady of leisure, perhaps?

Today is one of those days where I’m daydreaming about living someone else’s life. Things always seem easier for other people, but I know this is just because I don’t know what their problems are.

Tonight during savasana when you aren’t supposed to be thinking about anything, I found myself thinking about Mary & Matthew. THEY AREN’T EVEN REAL PEOPLE! This is why I shouldn’t watch TV.

Minus the exhaust pipes falling from the heavens.

About half way through and LOVING this!
The halfway point is where I got completely sucked in and couldn’t put it down. I was so glad I had all day yesterday to just read and read and read.
When I saw you were reading it it piqued my interest!
Despite the fact that Phil was out of town
this weekend was pretty wonderful
I came home Friday even and didn’t leave the house until I left for work this morning. Normally that would drive me nuts but it was amazing. I did so much reading, watched Downton, and was pretty productive with chores.
Now all I can think about is reading more but that will have to wait.

If Jane Austen wrote the scripts for Downton Abbey, Mary & Matthew would be together in the end.
It’s almost like watching Pam & Jim all over again but classier.

You think Phil will read it?
Probably not but only because he isn’t much of a reader. I do think he would like it. I think you do have to enjoy watching baseball to read this book.

I was feeling like my goal was a bit lofty knowing on Friday that I was only 90 pages into The Art of Fielding. When I woke up today I was barely at the half-way point.
But this book sucked me in so hard that I just finished it. So good.

The girls are coming over in about an hour.
There are just a few of us but if you saw all of the glassware I have out you’d think I was having a lot more people over.
Just wanted to prepared and a little fancy.

scarletbooksandthoughts replied to your post: Note on my Downton Abbey post
ONLY SEASON 1!!! girl you got to watch more!!
Oh don’t worry I will. I just started watching yesterday and watched 5 episodes in one day.
I want to work on being less judgey so I can be judgey towards judgey people. Then I can call them out on their judgeyness.
That would be OK right?
Note on my Downton Abbey post
I have only watched Season 1 Episodes 1-5.

Lord Grantham - Liked immediately. Lady Grantham - She kind of comes of like a ninny in the first episode but she is getting better. I totally didn’t even notice that she had an American accent. Mr. Carson - I hated the way he treated Bates but he has redeemed himself. Lady Mary - Still not sure what I make of her. I’d like to see what Emma would have done with her. I feel like I...
