Whew!  <\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a desk for my computer, AND a table for my sewing machine.  It&#8217;s a little tight and crowded in here, but hey, at least I have a room of my own, right?  I&#8217;m not complaining.  But in a quest to streamline and make it a little nicer, I decided to eliminate the desk and put both the computer and the sewing machine on the table.  One on one end and the other on the other end.  <\/p>\n<p>So far, I&#8217;ve got the computer moved, and I thank my lovely husband for hooking everything up for me.  I deftly UNhooked it, but as far as hooking things up (especially when I just moved it across the room where there is no jack) I&#8217;m pretty clueless.  <\/p>\n<p>Does the blog look different?  Because instead of facing North, as I have been for the last 8 or so years, I am now facing East.  Instead of a view of a lovely wall, I now can look out the East window and see the little swallows who have made a nest in the porch eaves.  I can also more effectively &#8220;Mrs Kravitz&#8221; and spy on my neighbors, watching to see who&#8217;s coming and going.  Oh the fun.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, I can also get a nice view of the disarray of the office.  Shelves need to be moved, the carpet under the desk spot is disgusting and dusty, and the sewing machine is now on the floor.  So, yes, I still have a lot of work to do.  And a lot of sneezing, from the vast amounts of dust that I&#8217;m stirring up.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I&#8217;ll post some pictures when I get it done (or at least when I give up and decide it&#8217;s good enough).  But I just wanted to know if YOU like the new look.  Because, honestly, the blog is now coming from a totally new area of the room.  An area that&#8217;s never been blogged before!  How does it look?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been in kind of an organizational\/clean out the junk phase lately, and I decided it was time to tackle my office.
