meh

So I know its NaBloPoMo….and I know I said I’d do it….but since I had this whole weekend off from work it felt kind of right (no…wait….justifiable) to take the weekend off from most everything except my family and friends and tangible things that matter and can matter back.

I have the undeniable urge to change things in my house, I’ve been fighting these urges for awhile, and I think today might be to the day to move couches and consider the placement of the  TV….and also to bring bookcases to main living area (its only a small one, but since I’m planning on reading umpteen books with this strike wrecking all my tv plans I want my books easily accessible) and figure out what goes where and when and with who.

Our living room is an odd shape, its long, but not entirely skinny. We have a fireplace at one end, which (to me) means a TV cannot go anywhere nearby. On another wall we have a giant set of windows, looking out onto the courtyard, which also means no TV, and if I had my way, no couch either, but then our room looks more like a bowling alley and thats not what I want to happen. If I had the money I would GLADLY have some wonderful designer come in (Sara and Tommy - Design Inc. ? - oh yes please!!!) and let them make my home livable but stylish and practical and beautiful and Damien friendly and adult friendly too. I’d let them do the entire main area, I’d let my kitchen be torn to shreds around me and just deal with the inconveniences to have the spaces they create.

I do not have that money though, nor will I probably ever.

If you have any designy suggestions, I won’t say no to them, and will probably thrive on the fact that it’ll almost be like having a desginer, but instead it’ll be me taking input from readers and seeing if that works.

Maybe pictures to come? I’m not sure how inventive or active I’m feeling currently.
