Sunlight

One reason I am enjoying daylight savings time. . . natural light streaming through our windows in the afternoons.

Other random thoughts:
I finished Green (Brown) Gable weeks ago, but haven't blocked or talked anyone into photographing it on me. Looks kinda sad just folded waiting for attention.

I got a coffee pot for my office. Know what that means? My coffee, my way. I am not able to drink the stuff everyone else consumes, it's just too hard on my stomach that early in the morning, so having my own stash, complete with my own sweeteners and fancy creamers is an incredible luxury. I feel so decadent and kinda sly. Should I share?

I want to make it clear, even though other blogs may dispute this, I did not have to be carried or assisted in any way following a St. Patrick's Day get-together at my folks. I simply needed a little something to soften the barbs being thrown. . . and it did work. However, as Needlefingers pointed out, this will not be a regular occurance as that would create a whole other set of problems. And that "making amends" step would kill me.

We joined the Blockbuster version of Netflix. Why? Because we want movies and we want them now. . . and we don't want to walk around and around the store chanting, "What about this one?", going home with nothing in our hands and being forced to watch yet another episode of "NYPD Blue" on the DVR. And you know what? It also satisfied another deep-seeded need. I love lists and this thing lets you add and move and subtract movies in your queue. It fulfills all of my OCD needs.

And in even bigger news. . . Cynical will soon be working primarily from home. I am so jealous I can taste it. I am happy for him in so many ways (Cut to me having visions of folded laundry, clean floors and loads of dishes in the sink.) Now we just have to make room for a home office. This is going to be interesting. Another reason to move, I suppose.

The above is a piece of glass art gifted to me by Queen of Cool for my birthday last year. I had hung it in what we loosely call our office, but recently moved it to the kitchen window where the sun streams in each afternoon. It reminds me of a trip to a small town in Kentucky and catching sight of similar ones clustered, filling an entire window.

Keep your sweetener and creamer under lock and key. That stuff goes like free drugs in the office. Of course everyone uses them but no one wants to buy them.

I've been wondering about Blockbuster vs Netflix. I'm beginning to wonder how Netflix is competing.

Hurray for working at home!
The glass orb is awesome, so pretty!
