Hey guys,
To celebrate the end of 2009 (our first year of blogging), Quill and Me, revisited Three Distractions On My Desk and our Currently Listening To posts. Both of which have repeatedly stopped us from blogging!
We hope you enjoy this selection from both.
May 2009
1 - Unreadable notes from a Quill and Me meeting.
2 - Apparently during the month of May I did not listen to any music. *scratches head*
Btw I still produce unreadable meeting notes.
June 2009
1 - It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere by Colleen Mullaney.
2- I Never Promised You a Rose Garden (club mix).
Ah, yes, my one and only (but, most fabulous) cocktail book which I am happy to report is still distracting me.
Omg! This was and still is one of my fav. music discoveries of 2009! A club version of I Never Promised You A Rose Garden.
‘So smile for a while and let’s be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along enjoy the good times while we can …’
July 2009
1 - Going Underground by The Jam.
2 - Where the City Meets the Sea by The Getaway Plan.
3 - Born To Run by Frankie Goes To Hollywood.
4 - Stay With Me by Erasure.
5 - Tainted Love by Soft Cell.
6 - Drops of Jupiter by Train.
Apparently, this was a very musical month. :D
August 2009
1 - Magic 8 Ball.
2 - Anti wrinkle cream (sample).
3 - Prelude 12/21 by AFI.
Lol, this ball was a bust, but it did manage to answer one very important question: ‘Will you ever work?’ Answer: ‘Don’t count on it.” Yep, that summed it up perfectly!
This sample so did not work.
Prelude 12/21 by AFI still love this song.
September 2009
1 - Mad World by Adam Lambert.
2 - Paparazzi by Lady Gaga.
3 - Feeling Good by Muse.
4 - Permanent by David Cook.
Lots of music, but no distractions on my desk. *puzzled*
October
Apparently, I was not distracted by anything musical and by desk was a distraction free zone.
Btw if you believe that, you’ll believe anything. :D
November
1 - A piece of jigsaw.
2 – Let The Music Play by Shannon.
That piece of jigsaw is still on my desk because I know as soon as I throw it away I will need it.
This song must have some kind of subliminal message because no matter where I am or what I’m doing I have to dance!
December 28, 2009
1 - A cold turkey sandwich.
2 – A glass of wine.
3 - It Ends Tonight by The All American Rejects.
4 - Romeo & Juliet by The Killers.
5 - Romeo & Juliet by Dire Straits.
6 - Love Will Tear Us Apart by Joy Division.
7 - Feeling Good by Muse.
8 - All I want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey.
9 - Breathe by Alexi Murdoch.
Party!
Well, that's my last post for 2009. Hope to see you all again in 2010!
Btw before signing off I’d like to add something:
HAPPY NEW YEAR,
FROM QUILL AND ME.

Three Distractions on my Desk
It's been awhile since I've done one of these! The problem right now is that my desk is in a state of organized chaos. Which is really just the code phrase for "it's a ginormous mess". So, maybe I'll do Three Distractions on my Desktop instead :).
1. The Muppets Studio on YouTube. It's the Muppets! Doing Bohemian Rhapsody! Really requires no further explanation, does it?
2. Peter Funch's amazing work at V1 Gallery. I keep going back to look over the photos and finding things I've missed every time.
3. Traveline. Possibly the most edifying and frustrating website I have ever come across. It took me hours to figure out how to get from A to B a couple of nights ago. Because, you know, Traveline says you have to go through C even though B is closer to A then C is and just ARRGGHHH. I will conquer this one day!

Christmas Shopping
I started Christmas preparations over the weekend - the first present is bought, I've started work on the main tree (I have to paint some baubles, don't ask!), and the first batch of cookie dough is awaiting in the freezer.
Of course, there's still the turkey to buy, the pies to make, actually getting both trees up and decorated.....and did I mention that I was meant to buy 4 other present on the weekend? Yeah.
So, in my frustration I have hit the internet. Both of us at Quill and Me have a bit of a fascination for stocking stuffers - you know, those little gifts that you can put in people's stockings, use to make up a hamper or gift pack, or even give as a secret Santa gift. Here's a selection of things I found just by searching for "stocking stuffer":
We've mentioned that we like books, right?
I cannot get over how cute this is! It makes me want to take up button collecting just so I can wear it.
We're longtime recyclers in my family and I think I've managed to convert one of my young cousins. This badge would be a great gift for the budding environmentalist.
Speaking of young cousins....or maybe their parents! I imagine these would be welcome for car rides and waiting rooms. These come with crayons and paper included so they can start scribbling straight away!
Seriously, how cute are these guys! You can get them in a whole bunch of different yummy-sounding scents like gingerbread, cookies and cream and malted milk.
I saw something similar to this in a little store in Stockbridge once and I fell in love with them. I don't carry around a makeup compact and these would be far better than using your sunglasses! This store has a huge variety so you are sure to find something to suit.
And with that, I am off to complete my Christmas shopping!

Quill

Ain't No Stopping Me Now!
Finally and I do mean, finally, I've succeeded in uploading a vid from YouTube. Really, guys, I've been working on this for a what feels like forever (stop laughing, Quill), so, without further ado here is the fabulous JK Wedding Entrance Dance. I know it's old news, now, but I still love it!
Enjoy,
Me.:D
