Friday Five

Well, it's Friday once again, that beloved culmination of the week, and excuse to answer someone else's questions in our blogs.

1. Where are you right now?
Mmmm, if memory serves, I'm in my office at my computer. In Ohio, US, the World.

2. What time is it?
Does anybody really know what time it is? It's 2:50pm, Friday.

3. What are you wearing?
My comfy, oversized tan cotton shirt and a completely mismatched pair of blue cords with an elastic waist. Grungy day here.

4. Any people or animals around you? Describe them.
Nearly my entire domestic universe is present with me. Howie is sitting in his chair, surfing the web and watching TechTV. The dogs are all in the office with us, of course. Emma's on the floor, happily working away on her Kong toy (it has dog biscuits stuffed inside it). Buddy's already retrieved the goodies from his Kong, so he's alternating between climbing up behind Howie to look out the window and eyeing Emma's Kong. Sarah, ever the good dog, is nestled between Howie and the arm of the wingback chair. Hattie cat comes and goes, hopping over the homemade gate we have propped up against the office doorway. Elliott isn't a spry young jumper any more, so he's out in the livingroom, nestled by the heat vent. I think that's everyone!

5. What are your plans for the weekend?
The Everdry people are coming early Monday morning to start work on the basement, so I need to clear the stuff away from the northeast side of our house. It's the hidden side of the house and tends to accumulate things like empty seedling flats, buckets, pots, and assorted junk. Other than that, we'll probably stick around the house and go to church Sunday.

Ta-Da...The New Desk!

This is what I jokingly refer to as my cockpit. I love how everything is within easy reach without taking up one bit of extra desktop space. Kudos to whoever did the design work on this at O'Sullivan Furniture. It's just plain brilliant, and I love it.



Here's a before shot, showing our old desk. This picture was taken when we first moved the office into the front room...Back before it had a chance to get too cluttered, and before the keyboard tray broke...Before we added peripherals which took up yet more desk space...Sorry I couldn't find a more recent picture with that chronic "lived in" look!

I'll post more pictures once the whole room is done. Right now it's still full of boxes of stuff I vacated from the old desk and its drawers! We're scavenging the drawers from the left side of the old desk and installing them on the right side of the new one. I can't wait.
