accessories at work.

i have good intentions every morning

{do my hair

do my make up

get dressed}

to make myself look decent

presentable even

before walking out the door to face

strangers, clients, my people, etc.

i accessorize, even.

with rings, mostly.

no necklaces.

and pearl studs are about as far as i'll go on the ears.

but rings.

i'm a sucker for a good ring.

a good big ring.

but when i get to work

and get to typing on the keyboard

the ring comes off.

and there it sits.

i forget about it.

until it becomes them

and they collect in a tray under my monitor

next to my ever growing collection of lip junk

and colorful post-it tabs.

until a day like today

when i pack 'em up and bring 'em home

to the much prettier tray where they belong.

on my bookcase.
