White Desk?

Wanderluster, who has an office of her own to be fiercely envied, suggested a white desk for the room. I’ve been wanting a white desk for quite sometime now, so her suggestion was all the impetus I needed to try it out in photoshop:

White desk = LOVE!
But I’m not really keen on painting the one [...]

The Office Becomes the Office/Guestroom

The changing of the room formerly known as guest room to nursery also necessitates the change of the room formerly known as the office to the office/guestroom.
Believe me when I tell you that this room, which could easily be mistaken for a hallway or closet, is NOT of adequate proportions to encompass both these functions.

It’s Better than Moving Furniture

Most of you know enough about us by now to know we are not patient people, Jeff even more so than I.  So much so that he frequently complains that this whole pregnancy thing is taking so damn long, can we please just have our baby already?
He’s convinced that we have “forever” to get the [...]

My Luck May Be Changing!

I’ve always had this weird curse.
I would live in a place for years bemoaning the fact that there was the lack of a certain store in that location and then move. Without fail, a few weeks later, said stores would pop up as if by magic in my former hometown.

Dear IRS, Where is my Windfall??

One of the reasons things have been a little slow over here at becoming-home is that every time Jeff asks me when we are going to complete project X Y or Z my response for the last 4 months has been “when we get our tax return honey.”
Yes, I have been living under the misguided [...]

Please join me in welcoming the newest member of the family.

No, not THAT one, that one isn’t due until August–I’m talking about our brand spanking new school-bus-yellow Dyson All Floors DC07!
Some of you may remember this post in October when I solicited your advice for a good vacuum cleaner. Like most things related to cleaning in my life (and making decisions) I procrastinated for quite a while [...]

I Love New York…. STAR Rebate Program

First off, I apologize from my hiatus. I haven’t really had much to blog about, and on top of that I’ve been sick. Pregnant + Sick - Medications = MISERY! I can’t quite recall an instance where I had a head cold and didn’t avail myself of copious amounts of decongestants. Thanks to [...]

Santa Was Very Good to Me..

Aparantly the 56 thousand hints I dropped to Jeff about the Flip video recorder did NOT fall on deaf ears, there was one under the tree for me Christmas day! Now I get to bore dazzle you with live video of every minute detail of our lives..
Just kidding. Sort of.
Really I wanted the Flip for [...]
