New Digs!

This is going to be a blog that contains both pictures AND words, which I think is the best kind of blog. I'm officially back to work. We are completely moved out of our old house, and our new house is almost entirely furnished. (Aside from a broken mirror and a missing nightstand).

Eric fixed the internet this weekend (WOOT!), my office got painted on Thursday, and my wonderful family came over on Saturday and slaved away all day helping me and Eric put together our desks. I just finished getting everything put away, so I finally have a space that I'm comfortable writing in in this house.

Anyway - as I said earlier, my family came over to help assemble my office and work on other stuff around the house. This was my mom, my step-dad, my aunt Cindy, my cousin Tina, her husband Corey, and their two kids Leyton and Miley, who are four and three.

Not only did they help me do work (MAJOR SHOUT OUT to all of them - they did a ton and really made my house feel like a home), but they came bearing gifts. Leyton and Miley brought these wonderful guys for me:




That's Bruce and Wayne. Bruce is the white one with spots, and Wayne is the orange one. They're currently living in the kitchen, because I'm afraid that I'll forget to feed them if they're in the office, since I probably won't be in the office every day. But they would make the office better.

I keep wanting to call them Kyle and Steve because my friend Fifi used to have two goldfish named Kyle and Steve that I was obsessed with. But they died a long time ago, and it was very sad.

And without further ado, here is the magic of my new office:

Pat Amsden That's one incredible office. I think the fish would fit in nicely. Particularly if you put something somewhere to remind you to feed the fish if you weren't in the office - maybe a neon sign that flashed feed fish - on your refrigerator or somewhere else you couldn't miss it. On the other hand that might ruin the Zen of your other room.
