really?

Is it wrong that I just spent at least 10 minutes of my work day simply staring at the fish at the bottom of this page. They follow your curser...not anything mind blowing...but then I realized when I click food drops in!! There went another 10 minutes of my life...wasted, haha.

Update on 'camper life' - we moved the camper (from its location in the middle of a field - prolly 50 yards from the house) onto the cement under our second-story deck off the back of the house. So now we have the pleasure of cement outside the door and the security of the deck. I say the security of the deck because the camper barely fits so it feels like the deck is holding it in place. Much better to experience than try to imagine from my pointless ramblings. Anyway, the camper doesn't rock anymore and I can step outside without getting my shoes dirty. These points make me a happy girl! We did have one small tragedy when moving the camper. I couldn't watch the ordeal because it was soooo muddy and from my point of view the feat was impossible anyway...lots of mud and little board ramps over deep holes and all kinds of crazy stuff that I'm almost positive makes my boyfriends heart race...with excitement at such a challenge. While I was desperately fighting off a racing heart of a whole different source. I avoided a panic attack upstairs with sweaty palms inside of fists clenched so tight my fingers were numb for hours. But no tragedy in the mud and crazy ramps...the tragedy (which realistically was only a near-tragedy) came when we started putting things back together and realized we were one cat short. My favorite little pusser had managed to shimmy himself up under the bathtub during the move - a location I would have never been able to remove him from. After a short panic...he came out and everyone was safe and sound!

I started this blog to record this whole camper experience but after the initial adjustment I feel there is little to say about it. It is what it is. We had to adjust our routine and many of our habits but now everything has returned to some sort of normal state. We've just finished painting in our house and hope to start on cabinets and trim very very soon!

Unrelated, I've begun seeking and collecting as much inspiration as possible. I'm not too sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but it doesn't seem like a bad thing to have saved up.

Mad love.
