Elizabeth Downie: Monday Monday

Monday Monday

It is a rainy Monday morning today and I must say, I love it. I mean, if it has to be Monday, it might as well be raining, right? It seems honest and right. And today has some good things going for it! For one, it's our very own Volcano-taco-loving-Justin's birthday! And Ann left me a pamphlet for Botox on my desk, so things are looking up.

How many of you guys had the Jhoon Rhee song in your head all weekend?

And thanks to you, E, I ALWAYS have the Jhoon Rhee song in my head. Yeesh.; June 1, 2009 at 1:45 PM
