thursday updates

Posted on October 24, 2008 by thirdstoryies

The week is getting past me, and our evenings have been busy since we found out that the insurance company now considers our truck totalled, and we have a deadline for replacing it. So instead of cozying up at home with a nice round of Clue, or making some progress on our Halloween costume (updates on that this weekend!), or practicing our violin with left hand fingers! we are driving around auto dealerships in the darkness that descends by six o’clock. I have made a bit of progress on the new desk though, and I’ve got a few shots for you. I know, I know, they are just so very exciting, but really – they are. At least for us. Sometimes it takes so little.


Here’s the desk timeline:

Installed nice, new, crisp, clean Elfa system desk. Nothing sits on the floor, putting me one step closer to the ideal Roomba household where all furniture levitates and my robotic vacuum can move unimpeded throughout a room without missing a beat.

Nice, new, crisp, clean look is decidedly less crisp with the insane amount of cords required to make this system operational.

Considered for a brief moment purchasing a lovely glossy white laptop to match my lovely glossy white all-in-one printer and tossing this thing into the dumpster (ahem…recycling each individual component correctly) but then remembered that I had to purchase an entire truck sometime this week and decided, instead, to purchase $60 worth of cord control and fancy power strip.

Worth it?
Decidedly so.

(The lovely print above is an anniversary gift from my lovely husband which he purchased at this gallery on this island. Feel free to gaze awhile on that island shot while the October rain falls outside.)
