Run out the clock.

Because I love you, here are some additional awesome websites to while away your hours at work.

• Animals Talking in All Caps: Just what it sounds like. And it is pretty awesome. Example: 

At the very least, there are cute pictures of animals, right? 

• Vintage Gal: Old-timey pictures. Maybe you'll get a new hairdo idea? 

• Old Films: Film student blogs about all manner of movie-related things. Also some old-timey photos. 
• Ugly Renaissance Babies: You KNOW I love this one. Hilarious commentary on mostly Jesus-related paintings. 
• I'm Remembering: Pictures/videos of amazing 80's and early 90's stuff. You will not be able to stop looking through this one. (Sidenote: I had this Sesame Street Doctor Kit and we recently watched a home video where I am using the stethoscope to listen to my mom's stomach prior to the birth of my little sister. It did not work and I wasn't happy about it.)

For even MORE ideas, check out this recently released list of the best blogs of 2011. Let me know if you find other goodies! Happy time wasting!

UPDATE: "They say a cluttered desk means a cluttered mind." --Michael Scott

If you haven't already read my post on jewelry organization, go read that first. The same disclaimer applies here:

• Gentlemen: this post may not be for you. Other than watches, I'm pretty sure most of you do not wear jewelry. Proceed with caution. 
• Ladies: Has your jewelry gotten out of control? Do you have no method of organization? Is your dresser/desk/nightstand cluttered with every necklace you own? Read below and be unorganized no more! 

Regarding said "better situation for watches and bangles," BEHOLD: 

For the bangles, I bought a hammered bowl from West Elm that is actually a serveware piece: 

There are several beautiful pieces in this collection (I have the "large bowl"). I also really like the footed bowl and almost bought that one instead, but I thought I might have to pile up the bracelets as opposed to having a concave bowl to place them into. If you have smaller and/or less bangles, this would be a good item to get. 


For the watches, I bought a tray from West Elm that is actually a bathroom accessory:

I thought it was so pretty! Who would relegate this to the bathroom? It's perfect for laying out watches - I can fit about nine on here. West Elm sells a huge variety of cute trays (both for bathroom and serving or entertaining) that can be used for jewelry storage/display. I LOVE these menswear print trays, but they sadly were not large enough for watch purposes. Please post below if you see anything else awesome and jewelry-worthy!


Gentlemen (and ladies who don't care about the above): I promise a non-jewelry post shortly!
