Loooong day

[susandennis]

I was minutes before breaking out of work when Stephen asked me to stay and get these two new web pages live tonight instead of Monday. So I did - more $ for the decorating coffers.

And, speaking of which... I sent Sheri the link to the Manhattan Lofts website and she got all jazzed about some of their pieces. We both love The Tommy.

I'm thinking that might be the bed. Really. If it is, then we have to do color choices

We are making progress.

Tomorrow is cup day. Sheri says I can keep 80 mugs, IF they are interesting looking. That's 4 a shelf on the wall above the sink. I think I can probably find enough interesting looking ones to fill the shelves. The rest go to the Goodwill. And I remembered a cubby hole of Tech books... Inside Trips for Windows 92 or whatever and other gems. Goodwill. That's tomorrow.

Oh and the blunch was fun. I was describing one of the funnier situations at work and Jim just laughs "this is your journal, just out loud!"

*80* mugs?!?

wow. you have me beat ... by a lot!

Re: *80* mugs?!?

[susandennis]

Yeah, it's not a pretty sight. I probably have about 250. I thought I was emotionally attached to more of them than it turns out I really am. Plus, Sheri read this entry and wrote that she has another idea for display in case I need to keep more than 80. But, I don't think I will.

i got rid of about 80% of mine (maybe 100 or so) when i moved into my current home ... of those that remain, i need to photograph a bunch (workplace mugs from failed dot-coms) but the rest can go. maybe i should send them to you :)

but seriously ... a display for 80 mugs is a display with 80 things that need to be dusted. clearly you're not as lazy as i am!

Re: *80* mugs?!?

[susandennis]

You are exactly right about the dusting - it is a problem and one that is getting factored into the equation. It is an access issue, too. I can't get to most of them unless I'm standing on the sink. A silly way to die, I think.

I am not a fan of modern, but this sight is awesome. I might have to re-think some of my taste.

I like that bed, too. Of all the ones you put out, I like this one the best so far. No storage though, maybe that is not a bad thing.

[susandennis]

That website is amazing and all their stuff but it is mysterious... Manhattan Loft? In Utah? But who cares. Their stuff is wonderful.

Ooooh I love love love that! Even better than the other one.

[susandennis]

Yes, I'm still loving it the best so far and maybe the best of all and maybe the one we order!

Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't chat more yesterday but I was in the middle of a big festuche.

I do hope you are going to get the 650. I'm ready to be so jealous! If I didn't have the 600 already OR if there was a decent trade in situation, I'd get one in a heartbeat.

No worries I got pulled away just about the same time myself so I thought nothing of it :).

I'm so excited by your whole redecorating adventure. Mostly because you're not having to do a lot of the actual work - wait that's not true you've done tons of work clearing out old cruft and I don't want to minimize that. Plus I'm enjoying doing the stuff I'm doing at the house - it's just it'd be more fun if there was someone there even if they were just talking to me and not doing anything while I was doing stuff.

At any rate I'm loving following your progress.

I'll probably be getting the 650 at the end of the month when I'm allowed to do the upgrade with my sprint contract which gives me a $150 mail-in rebate. whoo hoo - bringing the price down nicely.

[susandennis]

Oh no! I could never ever do what you are doing. A couple of years ago, I did my little half bath and it nearly killed me. Tossing out stuff is easy compared to doing the actual work!

And, absolutely, if someone ponied up $150 towards a 650, I would have no choice but to graciously accept! :)

I dunno I'm half tempted to throw in the towel - pack 2 suitcases worth of clothing and my pets up and head north west and live in one of your closests but while I figure Daisy and Mocha would get along with your cats as well as Ed and Isha - I doubt Pepper would last very long :) so I guess I ought to just stick to my own plan.

ah well.

Somewhere I know I've got some motivation stashed somewhere. But so far it's not here in the bedroom - but my bed is comfy and cozy with the two kitties keeping me company - but then I was up until about 2am working on little piddly stuff - which is cool at least I feel like I'm doing some work towards this move despite feeling like I have no motivation.
