Where I write

Now that I’ve written about why I write, I am getting on the bandwagon and joining in Jennifer’s meme of where people write. So here’s my little contribution:
So pretty.
Since moving I’ve gone through a few iterations of where my computer should be, and finally settled on having it in the living room. The wireless printer was downstairs for the longest time, then I had that BRILLIANT IDEA of moving it upstairs next to the computer. Genius!
(The toothbrush is Bennie’s, if you’re wondering. I don’t brush my teeth at my computer.)
Obligatory Catholic item: second class relic of Archbishop Fulton Sheen. It’s hard to waste time online when Uncle Fulton is sitting there, looking at me.
The desk is also the bill-paying, budget-making, paper hub for the house. It’s been recently played with by the kids, and I’ve been too tired to do anything about it. I bought the exercise ball when I was pregnant with Bennie and loved it (especially in that “I’m 9+ months pregnant and ready to blow!” stage). I’m also too lazy to get a proper chair, so the ball is what I use. And, as a bonus, it keeps the kids out of the stuff on the desk since they can’t climb on the ball. Yet.
(If you’re curious, the yellow and blue tin on top of the envelope box is from Cougar Gold cheese. Best cheese I’ve ever had. I think I need to order some more.)
This is in our coffee table. Bennie was notorious for standing in the drawer of the coffee table, so I filled it with techy items I use regularly (external hard drive, external CD drive, camera and the cord, mouse, extra cords as needed) to prevent him from doing so. He stopped standing in the drawer AND hasn’t emptied the drawer out. Yet.
Most of my writing takes place during naptime. I’m a slacker mom and wake up with my kids (I got kicked out of the 0530 club, by the way), and after they go to bed Greg and I get going on a mad game of Pick Up Sticks, so nap writing it is. Unless Baby Wok is wearing me out, then it’s naptime for me as well. I also like to steal time when they’re playing and carve out a post.

woo hoo!
Someone who sits on a fit ball! You’ll see a stool in my area because my kids hijack the fit ball (they are older than yours).
Thanks for sharing.

I’m waiting for the kids to throw mine down the stairs, truth be told.
