Welcome to my blog, Jen!

Beer fetching robot… now there’s something a guy who loves beer and is carrying around about 20 pounds too many probably really doesn’t need 😉 But it might make me forget about the lack of air conditioning…

Space in a house is a funny thing. A lot of the time it isn’t how much space you have, but how that space is located that matters. Clever use of vertical volume like using cabinets and such can make a big difference: using that third dimension. Other times, just shifting things around can turn “wasted” floor space into something you can use. And then there is the tough one: getting rid of things you don’t need.

I think that doing something new with my office each year does a lot for how I perceive my day. For at least a few months afterwards I feel “refreshed” or invigorated, even if all I do is tidy up the wiring or toss out some boxes. Ugh, boxes- that’s how I know I’m a gadget freak- the poundage of cardboard, plastic and styrofoam I recycle/dispose of is frightening.
