Blogger's Back!
I haven't been able to post for hours... well, ever since I woke up this morning. But it appears to be working again now! Hooray!
Marty and I have spent most of today working on projects around the house. My study is coming along nicely, and his computer is working again, so it's been a productive day.
We got some new light fixtures for the two studies, and it makes such a difference to have nice bright light when you're working. My office at work feels very dark to me, although other people say it's bright in there. I think fluorescent light in particular is tough on the eyes, probably because it looks so unnatural. Anyway I like my nice bright office here at home. And if it's too bright, I can just use my table lamp instead of the overhead light.
I couldn't decide whether I was going to put pictures and cards up on the wall again in the study, but the walls look so bad in here that I decided to go ahead. This is the smallest bedroom in the house, and rather than putting up drywall like in the rest of the house, the previous owners just put some cheap wood paneling up over the crumbling plaster. Sometime after that they painted the paneling white -- but they didn't bother to take any of the nails out of the walls or even scrape the tape off... so the walls in here are really dreadful. That's partly the reason why this became my craft (ie, junk) room. Also partly the reason why I started putting the cards up in the first place. Someday we will redo the whole room, new walls and everything, but for now I think it's best just to deal with it however we can. (After all, we still have to finish the other projects that wouldn't die... the downstairs bathroom, the hallway wallpaper, the glazing on the windows, etc.)
Anyway, the picture over to the right is a detail from the wall. It just tickled me so much when I put that David up there. Hee!
I will post some pictures of the craft room when it's closer to being done.
