This and that

It took 9 1/2 hours and there is still a long way to go, but you can get an idea. We didn't have time to hang all the pictures (obviously), but all the big pieces are moved. Day 1 went pretty smooth considering. The computers worked, the phones worked, and by 11am we even had heat! I spent most of the day a bit out of sorts ~ it's hard for me to just plop down and restart. It doesn't quite feel like home (office) yet. Mostly that will just take time. The top photo is the reception area, the bottom photo is the view from my desk looking out. The worst is over, now it's just a matter of moving things here and moving them there until they are just right.
On a slightly different note, is January really almost over? When did that happen? My mom and dad are soon off to Roatan ~ mom for 1 month, dad for 2. This makes February (and March) tough months...more feeling out of sorts. I have to admit though, having my own family (or small children I should say), helps a lot. I used to just hate it when my parents left, I would feel really alone, but the boys help ease that...
Another thing to look forward to in February ~ I promised myself that because we are not going to head to St. Croix or Roatan this winter, I am going to take a few days off to scrap. I need to re energize, get creative and brush off some winter yuk. And now that I have my scanner, I can even scan some of my creations and share them with you!
Oh, and whoopie, my brother comes home any day now...that too will help the winter blues. Looking forward to hanging with him...having him show me how to use my new iPod...and sharing our preliminary house plans with him.
Heading off to beddy now...goodnight all :)

Looks like Duncan is right at home. I miss Kay when she goes, I'm glad it's only for a month. But, I also get to see my guys every Thursday so that makes the winter more bearable.

Love, Aunt Carla

I'm sorry I did not get to help with the move. I am back next week & will be sure to stop by; I can't wait to see it.
Yes, it will take a little time, but I am sure you will make the office very homey.
Miss you! Hugs! Bryn
