Mine, Mine, All Mine!


Living in a family with three daughters, we all "share things".  Beauty products, hair products, clothes, shoes, jewelry, vehicles, etc., etc., etc.  We "share" even when we don't want to or plan to.  I use the word "share" loosely.  I can think of other words I could use, but share is such a nicer, kinder word. 
I got a new laptop for CHRISTmas and am loving it.  It has to have a password, that I have not shared with ANYONE, so I am the only one using it (it is mine you know).  Not that I wouldn't share, but I haven't yet. Anyway, I just took the CHRISTmas decorations down this weekend (January 14th to be exact).  I know, I know but we enjoy them so much and when they are taken down, the house just seems so bare and empty.  While cleaning up after taking down the decorations, I decided to rearrange the furniture ~ no surprise~ and actually rearranging rooms ~ again, no surprise.  While rearranging the rooms I decided to use this sofa table as a desk just for me.  Jim uses the desk with the desktop computer on it and he now has his "stuff" all over it.  He's currently looking up information about where his father was during the war, purchasing some of the medals his father received, and researching history.  When the kids are here, they use their laptops anywhere...on the couch, sitting in chairs, at the island...wherever.  I use mine sometimes in bed and sitting in a chair, but I wanted somewhere that I could leave it always, and sometimes I need to write things down or take notes.  So I fixed this area "just for me".  I'm already using the laptop more.  I'm going to paint the table black and put a piece of glass on top.  I just love it.  This is a picture of me and my guy that sits on the desk......
 ...this is a lamp for some extra lighting and a place for me to sit my cup of hot chocolate....
I think that this will help me to become a more organized person ~ yeah, right!
