Warming Up

I've been gone from formal blogging for such a long time, and although I yearn to type one, it's a bit puzzling about just where to start. So I decided to just type something....without too much about moving..... and get it posted. You have to start somewhere,eh? My computer has found it's final placement and I have been playing around with it now for about 24 hours.

So, okay. I might mention moving for a little bit. We are still settling in. I find it interesting, maybe perplexing, how at the beginning of all this, I brought things in and put them in just the perfect spot, just where they should be. But not much of that at all has lasted even this long. ( I realize too, that the time to show off your new apartment might be just before you drag the final loads in. It looked a lot better when it was partly empty. See above.) The perfect desk spot, pictured above, with the doll and lamp and phone, all in vanilla colors, was my favorite, always-wanted-that, place. It's gone now. You know what rules....the television has to be there. The television belongs there. Fine. I'm using that desk for my computer now and it does look pretty where it is but it's not perfect. Don't know what to do with my Baby June doll but it's alright... has to be. Also the now reigning t v stand has a shelf that was the only place to hold Steve's chess game. But now with cable set up for the Master/Ruler Television, that shelf holds the electronics stuff. The chess game now 'floats' around the apartment with no place to be. Oh well, I enjoy television and now it's hooked up to cable so we can actually see and hear it at the same time. I thought I might have to move my beautiful etegere. I love it where it is and it provides a lot of beauty and color. Fortunately, Dudderbear helped me figure out how not to make the mistake of relocating it. That one is just where I want it.
It's all about settling in, of course, adjusting. I think the kitchen cupboards will have to be done over. Luckily it's a compact kitchen and will be easy to do, but I am way tired of almost standing on my head to get the pans out everyday. So that must be changed.

This may all sound crazy but I wonder if it's just me, am I such a disorganized soul? If I am, which certainly wouldn't surprise me, I should really try hard to change that. This is such a good opportunity to change a lot of habits and 'start a new life.' Does everyone else spend so much time trying to get these jobs done? Another thing now will be putting up the Christmas decorations. So perhaps this will all go on hold for awhile. There are some very beautiful and inspiring pictures to see on the links listed here on the sidebars. [See Laughing With Angels and In My Own Style] You will love looking at these posts and seeing some lovely arrangements and pictures. They will bring the Christmas Spirit to you for sure. [Check out Pinecones&Roses, Barnyards and Barnacles, and Joyful Reflections]. I just love them. Anyway, hope to see you here often. Leave a comment if you will. That makes it all the more fun.
