Ready for change

It’s another Monday and the last two weeks I’ve put in some extra hours at work for various reasons, so I’m happy to be at home this week … until Thursday at least.

We were going to go to park today, and it would have been a nice day to, but Ella wasn’t interested for some reason. She did seem interested when I mentioned pumpkins and farmers market though … so we took a little trip to a nearby market. And I probably bought way too much produce considering Steve’s gone part of this week. I’m going to have to make an effort to cook a lot this week!

So, anyway we have a lot of stuff coming up around here that I’m looking forward to.

1. A girls shopping trip, in which I hope to get a lot of Christmas shopping done and possibly sleep in – that probably won’t happen again for a long, long time, so I better enjoy it.
2. We’re building a wall in our house. I may have mentioned this before, but maybe not. We have an extremely open house and with Steve working home full time in an upstairs loft, and me working only part-time and home with soon-to-be two children, it just doesn’t work. So, I’m really excited about the freedom this will give me. No more quiet times during conference calls! Or throughout the day for that matter. And no more loud tv coming from downstairs or upstairs!
3. Along with the wall comes other good things … we hope to have some built in cabinets to store all Steve’s junk lovely collectibles. And we also hope to have a few extra cabinets in the hallway, which means more storage. I’m already having to buy vacuum bags to store linens, and with another child we are going to be hurting for storage.
4. We’ll also be moving some things from the living room to the office. An aquarium and an overstuffed chair hopefully. This will mean I could get a little desk for the living room and instead of sitting at the kitchen counter with my laptop and papers I could have a permanent little home for my mac. That would be awesome. And I would also love some bookshelves for the living room …

Here’s a desk at Ikea that would be really cute if IKEA offered shipping! Or wasn’t 4 HOURS away.

And here’s a cute desk at Target I may just have to run out and get, because it’s only $55 this week … and you know I’m going to need a cute lamp, a cute chair and some cute office containers to go with it.

And now I hear someone yelling about pee on their dresser … so daydreaming is over.
