I've Spruced up the Place!

Greetings Merry Blog-keteers! I hope you all had a festive Thanksgiving. Also I hope that you are prepared for a plethora of photos. There has been much a foot and so I am here to update all of you. As you can see, I have made progress in unpacking. I know that you are all impressed. Actually my office here is looking quite nice. I have my desktop set up, I have my router running and secured. I have my technical library. The closest is being a valuable storage area. And yes, part of it is functioning as a linen closest, since I don't have the real thing. I'm sure you noticed two things in the above picture. We shall see about addressing them in the two side pictures here. First off, on the left you will notice that I have hung some stuff up. I found my diploma and have proudly hung that up. Now I can bask in the amazingness there of. Also I have my commission up on the wall. Yup, thats the reason I'm in the desert right now. On the right, well I found that I do in fact have a little tree. While this tree does not satisfy my main tree needs, it does work well as a small tree to live in my office here. It is all festive. And yes, I have been listening to Christmas musics. Now then, lets move to the next room, my dinning room.




Ahh, here we see my dinning room. I'm not sure which way the table will be living, but for now it shall be like this. You can notice that I do have place mats, I'm cool like that. Also I have napkins. Its like I have a real home. I intend to put up some shelves on that back wall. That way I can put the nice glasses there, since I lack cabinet space to have them out. It also means that there is a nice display of them, or will be once I'm done. But yes, it is nice to be able to see my table.

And as you can see I have acquired my very own nativity set. I don't have some of the pieces I've grown use to. There is no world's fair camel. Snoopy is not there. I don't have an angel band suspended by fishing wire. But I do have a set, and that is a start, right? Oh, and while on the subject of Christmas decorations, I also got this fancy stocking set up. Now I realize that it is not my real stocking hanging there. However I have yet to stumble upon my stocking in all of the unpacking that is going on. But if anyone should notice my stocking, I would like to hear about it. But for the time being my stocking is hung with care. I don't have a fireplace, but I figured that this would be an adequate home for my stocking. Oh, and I have more good news!

As you will notice I no have a bed. I'm all excited. And actually I paid more for the frame then the box spring. Which I don't mind, cause I know that I will be getting the money back for the frame. I don't know that I will get the money for the box spring. I won't complain if I do, but you never know. So yes, I'm happy about having a bed. Yay! Actually, you can't really see it, but I do have more boxes piled up in the bedroom then you see in this picture. Plus I have various boards from my old bed set up. I'm not sure quite what to do with them just yet.

Oh, and while we are discusssing holiday decorations, I have a nice wreath on my door and I have some lights in my front window. So I am all festive! Hooray for Christmas times! Though I am still working on getting used to my desktop. I liked some of the buttons on my laptop. I had play buttons and such, plus volume control, which was a nice thing to have. But I suppose I shall adjust. Now then... have I forgotten to mention anything....Oh Yes!


My tree! I realize that it only has white lights on it right now, but I shall change that eventually. And you can't really see them well in this small picture, but I have blue and gold balls on there, and a blue point thing at the top. So goo WVU!! I have a very merry tree, I like it!
