When It Rains...

...it pours.

Thanks to Master Fob, my social life drought has come to an end.

Yes, it's all your fault Master Fob.

You may recall that a couple of weeks ago I was deathly ill with the flu. (Hey, a little drama and exaggeration makes for a good story, doesn't it?). By the second day of lying in bed with raging fever, I began to get a bit bored, yet I didn't have quite enough energy to get up and really do anything. So, I sat at my desk browsing the infinite offerings of the World Wide Web. Including, of course, reading Master Fob's blog.

I was reading it so thoroughly that I even read the AdSense ads. "Hmmm", I thought, "here's one to look at--Mormon Clip Art". I clicked on that ad and, lo and behold, up pops the website for LDSPlanet. (For those of you non-single, socially fulfilled individuals, LDSPlanet is an online dating site).

"Ah, what the hell. I've nothing else to do", I thought to myself. So I casually filled out the required pages so I could browse through and see what was offered in terms of potential dates, mates, etc.

Oft times, this type of browsing is depressing. But on this stay-at-home-sick day, I was pleasantly surprised at the candidates.

Now it's two weeks later, and I have met up again with an old acquaintance, spent time with a new friend, and exchanged multiple emails with another.

I generally prefer nice sunny days--that's why I keep my home here in the tropics. But, let me tell you, a thunderstorm now and then is a good thing, too.

Thanks, Master Fob.

Half Way

It's at least half way done.

The "pile it" room is becoming unpiled.

And I'm still so excited! I keep walking back into the office just to make sure that all of the junk hasn't reappeared while I've been looking the other way.

Goal for this coming week: finish cleaning, organize, rearrange, and decorate.

Stay tuned...

The "Pilot" Room, Before...

A while ago, I was telling a friend about my office and how it had become so crowded with JUNK that the only floor space visible was the pathway from the door to the desk chair.

She replied, "Oh yeah! We have one of those. They're called, 'pilot' rooms"--or so I thought she was saying; and I envisioned a room decorated with a pilot/airline theme.

Turns out she was saying, "Oh yeah! We have one of those. They're called, 'pile it' rooms".

Ahhhh, yes!!!


So this is my "pile it" room...before I started cleaning it out a couple of nights ago. Last night I was finally able to see nearly half of the floor! I was so excited I could barely sleep! Seriously.

I'm now on my third night of tackling this procrastinated project. And I can't wait to see more floor!

So stay tuned for a clean, tidy, and organized office...
