New Digs for Greenlee Gazette!

BEFORE. . .

After this weekend, I might actually get some blogging done around here, now that my office is finally done. Well, there are still things to do, and a lot of crap taken out of here that has to be put back or disposed of. But the hard work is done! I'm totally digging it.

. . .AFTER!!!

Unfortunately, it doesn't photograph as that different. And the "before" picture is from three years ago. The old "off-white" carpet had become markedly off-white. The walls were a plain, flat white. Now it's eggshell tanish-taupish, with a lightly patterned chocolate carpet which literally had the name "I'm Yours." All in all, it makes for a much more comfortable and comforting work space. And since I'm doing more and more work in here, that's a good thing!

S'cuse Me, I's Bin Bizzy!

Notice that there haven't been many posts lately? That's because a heckuva lot is going on: removing furniture and painting two home offices (yes, we have two), landscaping, carpet installation, regular job and part-time job. And at some point, we have to drive to Arizona to get MegaMillions tickets! So yes, I've really been busy. I hope to be back to it later today, and probably a bit on the weekend. But it won't be until the early-to-middle part of next week that I'm back up and running at full speed. Please take a look around at previous posts, or at least come back later! Thanks!

Busy Sunday

Blogging time has been slight today, as I put in yet another weekend cleaning, moving and rearranging things. My abandoned little old office has been slowly transitioning into a tiny new guest room. The Other Half painted it on Thursday, I steam-cleaned the carpet on Saturday (twice) and Sunday (once). And while I had the thing rented, I steam-cleaned the other two rooms in the house with carpet.

But it doesn't end there! After returning the steamer, I got it in my head to refurnish the room myself. And so I did. Not so hard, really, just tiring. And the room is on the smallish side--the better to discourage long-term visitors! It came together fairly well, though it still needs accents, and the window treatment is temporary. The Other Half will no doubt want to add things of his own (and will also probably scold me for moving stuff myself!).

And tonight, 24 returns, and is on at the same time as two of my other favorite shows, Desperate Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. So, blogging may be lighter than usual. 'Cause I'm pooped! And I gots to watch my stories. . .
