Sniffers

You'd think we'd just moved the family to a new country the way these dogs are investigating every square inch of the office today. Buddy, especially, has his nose plastered to every surface and is making a slow inventory of all the new smells. Beer spill...Check. Styrofoam bead...Check. Strange odor...Mental note, research later.

I know/hope there's nothing on the floor to hurt him or the other two dogs, but it's still disconcerting to see him shoving his nose into every crevice in the room. C'mon guys, same stuff, different places. Only the desk is new, and you're not smelling it at all! Weirdos.

Everdry called this morning at 8:45am. I heard the guy's voice coming over the answering machine, my mind still in a sleepy fog, and answered the phone. I was cognicent enough to hold a conversation with him and learn that the crews are running a couple of days behind and he wanted to know if Monday would be okay for them to start instead of tomorrow. AND HOW. I want to get the office and rest of the house clean before there's more dust to deal with. Monday's finer than frog hair, I reckon!

Assembly Might Just Be Worth that Twenty Five Extra Bucks

Howie and I spent about ten hours disassembling the old desk, assembling the new desk and hutch, and rearranging the office to accommodate the different furniture. We are so sore from sitting on the floor all those hours and moving furniture after that. Man, this stuff takes so long to assemble! But I sure do love the results. We figured out we can scavenge some of the drawers and drawer hardware from the old desk and put them on the new one. The old desk kinda disintegrated when we took it apart to get it out of the room...Heh.

The office is too torn up for any pictures just yet, but once it's cleaned up I'll post some. This desk is SO cool, every bit as neat as I'd hoped it would be. Rush on over to OfficeMax.com and check them out, y'all. The only peripherals on my desk now are my monitor, printer and scanner, and all the cords are neatly absent from view. Now my clutter...Well, that's another issue.
