This is my dad's office.


This is my mom's office.

Dad's office, view 2. (Notice the neatly arranged santa hats on the window seat.)

Mom's office, view 2.

Dad's closet. Every shoe in place.

Mom's closet. I think a few of the shoes found their matches.

And then there's me: the product of order and chaos.

I certainly have the clutter angel on my left shoulder and the tidy angel on my right.

This begs the question: What will my closet look like in twenty years?
Will all of my santa hats be in a row? Or will my spouse mistake my office for an area under FEMA's jurisdiction?

Only time will tell.

Dear Pandora

Dear Pandora,

The way you bring David Archuleta's Christmas tunes into my home is delightful. What would I do without you (and David)?

After seeing "A Christmas Carol" at Ford's theater, my heart is filled with Christmas spirit. But you Pandora, only you, maketh my heart overfloweth.

God bless us, everyone.
(But especially you, Pandora.)

Love,
Lynne

I would move back to D.C. just to buy my groceries at Trader Joe's.
