What Our Sunday Looks Like...

We went out to lunch, and while we were sitting at Sauce at the Scottsdale Waterfront, we got to talking about how much the house needs an update. We're both so busy, so decorating has always been something that never really was a priority. We were inspired, and set out to a bunch of stores to dress up the dining room. I don't have before pictures, (I would never take pictures of it, it was ugly!!) but I feel much better about posting them now.
Oh, and of course, we had to stop into Sprinkles. SO WORTH THE TRIP. Those cupcakes were divine! Now, all we need is a Pinkberry, and it'll be like living in an LA clone!

Hope you all had a beautiful day!

New workspace

I redid my home office. I've been spending so much time there, I thought it was time to get it to look decent. That, and since Franci is always here, it makes more sense to have 2 good sized workspaces. The problem was, though, that my office room is quite small... but I think we did a good job, It isn't completely done, but it's about 75% of the way done. Furniture is courtesy RedSeven Computers in Tempe.

The old office:

Workspace for one, big yucky chair, oversized desk with much less useable space than youd think. Big hutch, etc.
And now, the new office:

Much better.. yes?I'm still planning on some shelving system on the pink wall, and a better place to house my printer. Not pictured is my easel, on which I sketch out website designs. I know, I know. I'm old school.
Anyway, I love it!

There's no place like home.

The trip home was a long one. It always seems like it takes longer to get home than it does to get there. Yesterday morning, I did some last minute shopping and we tried to find a semi-good looking beach. Nick chose Long Beach, figuring it was the closest. (I know you Californians are laughing right now). We ended up at the Port of Los Angeles where "Ships make Berth" (insert Pirates joke here). Not impressed. Decide to not waste any more time and head back to Phoenix.
I slept most of the drive and we got back into town at about 8. Settled in, did some laundry and watched Return of the Jedi. Nice and relaxing. It's nice to be home, but I already miss the courtesy, good natured looks and smiles that come from being in Disneyland.
Today was spent watching Attack of the Clones, cleaning up, having lunch, watching Borat (I could have done without seeing THAT again) and now just taking it easy. Tomorrow is back to the Real World. I don't want to go back. I don't know how I feel about the current job place I'm in. So far, it's not what I hoped it would be. It's actually pretty disappointing. But I'm going to give it a good try before I decide to move on.
I just miss writing.
I crave creating.
I took the time I had to write before for granted, and now I'm wishing I could have the serendipitous moment: the perfect place, the perfect story, the perfect time, the perfect love.
I'm keeping my eyes open for it. I'll know it when it hits me.
Until then, it's good to be home.
