So I went to a Winter Solstice Yankee Trade (aka White Elephant) at All Souls a few weeks ago, before Christmas, and I ended up with the most adorable gift. It's my couch home away from home. I thought I'd bring it to the office, since I don't have tissues (and because I think Heather would hate seeing it in our apartment), and I declare I've made a great decision – my colleagues love it! It has become the greatest conversational piece in my cube-city. People come over to give their respects to this home-made couch. F-, the co-worker who took the picture, is thinking about giving me a Barbie for it. I told her she has to be one that wears a power-pin-stripe skirt suit, you know, to match my ambition and gusto... How about that crochet work, eh!
