We have seen a return by an unexpected nocturnal visitor... Will the phantom pee-er please raise his hand?
Great. Now, you there, just stop that!Even though the puddles have been on the bathroom tile (SOOOO grateful that they haven't been on the carpet)... I still don't enjoy mopping them up. If you could just find your way to the bathroom, and then lift the lid before proceeding to dispense anything, it would be greatly appreciated.
The title for NaBloPoMo this month is In A Word. I've started the month by introducing you to my Office... The word for tomorrow will probably be Kitchen, or Driveway, or maybe Bedroom... Do you see a theme here with the words I'm choosing? Maybe it's because thinking about all I need to do for our new home is taking up all the oxygen in my brain. Or maybe I just have a one-track mind. Either way, this will probably be your introduction to all things Bean House related. And how would I describe the Bean House, in a word? Crazy! LOL
Enjoy!
I'm not sure why, but my office frequently bears the brunt of our family mess. For some unknown reason, it has become the eternal catch-all location. It's really a shame, I think I would be so much more productive if my work space was more organized... But at least for now, it has become storage for unopened boxes. I guess it's just a fact that sleeping areas and the kitchen take priority, but I still look forward to the day when all cardboard is evicted from my workspace. I dream about the day when my desks are free from the overflow from other parts of the house.
In truth, I think I've encouraged the chaos in previous houses. Not intentionally, but still... I haven't taken my office space seriously enough (or maybe I haven't taken my business seriously enough) and the office has become Craft Central and Computer Game Haven. This time things have to be different. Not just because I say so... But because I just don't have room/storage/patience for it now.
We have relocated, yes, again. But this will be our last move... Oh, have I already promised that? oh... well...
Anyway--this move was full of adventure. First, I was lucky enough to get to move at the beginning of The Mister's two-week work-related absence. Moving without The Mister around? NOT on the Recommended List.
Next, the movers wrecked up nearly all of our furniture... Trust me, I am not exaggerating. In fact, it was so bad that they have taken all my furniture to have it professionally repaired. So--while we have moved, we have arrived without more than a stick of furniture. That's good for some interesting situations. Picnic, anyone?
And then there were the problems with the counter tops... One and a half inch out of level... Catch that egg before it splatters on the floor!!!
But then there is the good stuff... Baking without the challenges of higher elevation. No extreme snow drifts. AWESOME neighbors (no offense, Jen! We still miss you guys!). And a park across the street. And the best news? I've become a Master of the Spray Paint Can. Yep, if it will sit still, I can spray it! And oh, what a difference a little paint can make!
So--if you're up for sitting on the floor. And you don't mind mountains of cardboard boxes (hard to put stuff away if you don't have any dressers...). Then come on over! We'd love to have a visit! And we're just excited to be here!
