Finishing Up!

The kids went back to school today.  I went back to work today.  Amazingly, Brent is working for the railroad today.  All of this equals a very, very, quiet house.

Except for the dog, she is lying on my feet right now, snoring, snoring, very loudly.

Honestly, it kind of sucks. Not the snoring, the quiet house.

I think I could have lived with one more week of vacation.

I even considered home schooling, today.

It was nice having everyone around.

Oh well, the real world is not interested in my desire for more vacation time.

I thought I would share a few more pictures on how I worked the color green into our office.  I love how the office has turned out.  It is so nice to have a clean, clutter free, room to work in. I will be posting the final pictures tomorrow.

This first pic is a picture of our reading chair, lamp, book shelf, and YES a green throw. Amazingly, in a room that had more then 15 boxes of books, there was no place to sit and read a book.  

Now there is a big cozy chair, a comfy throw, and good lighting.  This is the only bookshelf that made it back into the room.  Mainly I'm using it to store library books.  This way we aren't trying to track them down all over the house. 

Also, the picture on the wall is the only picture that made it back in to the room.  Before I had an entire wall full of pictures.  There were more then 40 pictures. I have scanned those pictures into the computer and now they run as a screen saver.  I have enjoyed that.

The only other thing to make it on to the wall was this sign I found at Tai Pan.  I admit it is kind of hokey.  

At last, I fell in love with it and couldn't help myself.

It is a simple phrase. 

It is how every good book should end. 

And, well, I guess I just like the thought. 

Also, it brought a little more green into the room...

I had the bugs they are a gardeny, antiquey, green.  I just made those words up so they are spelled correctly. Trust ME!

I also found this green box at Tai Pan.  It was actually a Christmas clearance purchase. I'm using it as a catch all.  Instead of having the mail, school papers, notes that need to be signed, magazines, you know all the "stuff," thrown on my desk, it lands here.

It is sitting on the file cabinet so I can file what needs to be filed. Toss what needs to be tossed. Keep everything OFF my work space. So far it is working brilliantly! What a cool word. "Brilliantly!"

I worked green into one more space, I will post that tomorrow.

I have been enjoying your new years resolution comments.  It is funny reading all about your funny quirks.  I'm also feeling less guilt about the whole, "baby" thing. 

Ashlie, I was totally thinking of you when I said, the "Right Fred Said," thing. :)

Me? What makes me the obvious candidate for something as crazy as blasting a crazy song and dancing around to it? lolzzzzzzz. Not that I wouldn't. I just didn't realize it was so obvious.

Uh Krissy Uh.... I have yet to read a cool blog. To blog is to be a dork. There is just no getting around it. I don't think anyone has ever told Heather of Dooce that she is a dork, but she is... because she is a blogger. It is just a fact of life.

Blog=Dork

Our Christmas Letter

Each year I send out a Christmas letter and the one thing that frustrates me more then anything about the letter is that I can not include all the pictures I would like. That and Brent's rule that the letter has to fit on one side of one paper. I have gotten pretty clever with font size and margins to keep this rule. All you that have read this blog know that I am a sucker for pictures. So this year along with mailing out the letters I am going to post the letter with pictures. YAY ! So fun having your own blog to torture people anyway you want. Our Christmas cards were sent out on Monday so here in all it's digital glory is the letter again, this time with pictures. (Beginning of Letter) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that this letter finds you happy, healthy and enjoying the holiday season. If you are like us, it has been a little bit of a difficult year dealing with increasing prices and a budget that isn't quite stretching to meet every thing you want it to...

Biking 45 Miles!

Tomorrow or Today depending on which day you read this post I will be riding my bike 45 miles. Registering for the ride has made this journey to ride my bike 100 miles very real.  Since tomorrow will probably be one of my last rides indoors I have decided to Twit about it. I'm not quite sure how my body is going to react to 45 miles and almost 3 hours on a bike. I'm pretty sure my head is going to be yelling bad words at me, at best. I'm sure there is going to be a lot of, this is crazy, what are you doing to yourself.  By Twitting about it I am going to feel a whole lot more accountable to get the ride done. Especially, if I feel there is any chance that people are logging on to see where I'm at and how it is going. If your feeling inclined I should be on the bike by 1pm Mountain time Friday the 27th. Check it out and make sure I survive! 

"Laughing All the Way"

Most of the year Brent lives a pretty quiet existence. He goes about his own business with out the world taking much notice, to what he is up to and what he is doing. However, when the snow starts falling, the neighbors start laughing. Brent has become the neighborhood novelty. The funny guy on the corner. The, "Can you believe that Brent was outside, in the snow, shoveling, while in his sandals." Yes you read that correctly. While I refuse to buy boots, because I don't live where it gets cold and snows, and one needs boots. Brent simply does not wear said boots. Unless, he is going to work and HAS to. To the neighbors this is Brent. A few have tried to explain to him the core differences between living in California and Utah. Like, say, wearing actual shoes while shoveling. Oh, and hey, a coat! Brent's California brain has not excepted these facts. In fact, he claims that his sandals have better traction. "Big Sigh," it is nice to know your husband ...
