Here is another one, in honor of Earth Day.

Hello all!

It's time for another workshop, hence this test of Tagxedo - a word cloud application. This particular word cloud is "about me". Let's see if it works.

It's been quite a while since I've posted to this blog - eight months, to be exact! With another workshop on blogs and wikis around the corner, I thought it might be prudent to brush up on my blogging skills :)

I do have updated pictures of the floor - for those of you who have been waiting so patiently. Will post in a bit.

Finale - for now!

Here are the pictures of the den. The top one was taken with a flash, the bottom with natural light. I am very happy with it, though my daughter just informed me that she still doesn't like the area rug :( I was hoping that it would grow on her, but apparently not.

Well, I really like it. It's simple, works with the furniture and I think that it could easily move into another room when we eventually move (not any time soon, but it's something to consider.)

What do you all think?

Addendum

Well, I can't believe that over a month has past since my last post! Our den is all put back together and we are all enjoying it immensely! (Well, almost all of us. My daughter still dislikes the new furniture arrangement quite adamantly.)

I will post a picture of the "almost finished project" soon. (Don't forget - this was just the first phase. The final phase - which is a hardwood floor - will hopefully be completed by the summer.)

Thank you to everyone who followed along. Besides being loads of fun, a very cool byproduct of the blog was that it was a unique motivational tool for my husband (maybe weapon for me is the better term?) Projects in our home tend to go on for months - yes, even years! - but with daily documentation, there was none of the usual denying the length of time that has occurred in the past ("It has not been two months!") Nifty!

Day 42

Well, what did I tell you? Still no coffee table in the den! But, I don't think he'll be able to stall that much longer. I'll explain...

As you all know, this weekend is Super Bowl Sunday and my daughter has invited some friends over.

What's the connection, you might ask? Well, besides the game and cool commercials, Super Bowl Sunday is about eating. Buffalo wings, chips, beer, etc. Where would we put it all? I mean, you've really got to have that table that sits right smack in the middle of the room - with easy snack access to all - for it to be a truly successful event. Yes!

I never thought I'd say this, but thank goodness for football!
