This is a Christmas favorite here at The Shoe. Maybe it has something to do with our Polish blood. Whatever the reason, we sing this at the top of our lungs every year. Enjoy! :D

Odds and Ends
If you saw my desk right now, you'd probably be scratching your head wondering how I can even begin to use my noggin. Along with some old college textbooks that still need to be sold back, I've got various pieces of literature that I'm trying read, a few shirts, a brush, several Bibles, candles (a gift from my grandparents as an apartment-warmer for next semester), my wallet, a half-drunk water bottle, an empty Dr. B can, an apple core, a lamp, my laptop, various electrical cords, a few hair bands, and a puzzle book (which appeared out of nowhere!).
My desk.
It's nothing special. A simple work table bought from Walmart 5 years ago.
It got me through high school and my first year of college, which means it's seen multiple exams, essays, pencils, pens, silly-putty, highlighters, and 10-pound textbooks.
It's seen me my hands shake with nerves as I've undergone various phone interviews.
It's seen me have my quiet times with the Lord.
It's seen me laugh uproariously at the crazy things that seem to accost us at The Shoe.
It's seen me listen to music while working on math.
You name it, and it's seen it.
My desk has had a lot of history over the past 5 years. Strange, since it seems like just yesterday I was donning my cross country uniform for the first time and grabbing for my watch that lay on it's rough surface. Can it really be 5 years ago that I was a high school freshman? I mean, 5 years ago we were welcoming number 9 to the family, not even thinking that there would be a number 10!
And yet, it is this same desk that I'll be clearing off and hauling with me to Big D in just a little over a month.
Somehow, that kind of makes me happy. A piece of home brought to my new home. Yes. :)
