January 1st Picture of the day

 I'm starting with this picture because it's my favorite spot in my house .... for now.

This desk used to be Brooke's and after she got a bigger one I took it and put it in my bedroom.  It held our little TV and the DVR.
Now....it's new home is in my living room.

 
It's no secret I've worked night and day for several years!!!  And I've basically lived in the basement since that's where my office is.  The problem with that is everyone else is upstairs....my family, the dogs, the kitchen and even laundry.

After Dave travels he likes to set in the living room and watch TV but I can't watch the same programs as him (golf, football, fishing and poker)  honestly I've tried but it's painful for me!!!   I know some of you reading this can relate :)
So, now ....I'll be with him.....just doing my own thing.   I'm also going to set hours that I check email.  I've always checked it non stop.  But due to the volume it's not leaving much time for anything else.  Seriously!!   So, I'm going to try the advice that I've been given.....WISH ME LUCK! 

Would you like a laugh?  After I took the picture I went to edit it and if you look real close....on the hearth .... you can see nut shells :)   Dave likes to sit by the fire and crack nuts (we keep a bowl with nutcrackers in the living room during the holidays)  and he also likes to leave the shells behind :(  I've threatened him a time or two that I was going to dump them in something of his...but truth be told..... I'm not going to sweat the small stuff. I did that enough in my 20's and 30's!!!

Have a great day.....see ya tomorrow!!

I'm a fairly recent follower of your blog, Angie. So I don't know you as well as many who have been friends with you for a long time. But I wanted to let you know how wonderfully lovely, comfortable and homey your home is - I love your green plants and also your relocated desk. Beautiful space and I wish you all the best in the New Year!
