  This is my new favorite spot in the house - my reading corner in the bedroom.  I wish you could see my chair better - this thing is huge - it has a built in massager and heat, and the arms fold back to reveal a magazine rack on the left and a built in phone on the right.  I could LIVE in this chair.

  
  

  

  All the school stuff - it looks so mild mannered in it's corner - but don't be fooled - this stuff can and will mutiny in an instant.  The ship was almost lost to those mangy math manipulatives last week!

  
  

  

  
  

  On the other side of the room - the grown up desk.

  
  

  

  
  

  This is the new computer set up.  It takes up about 1/3 the space that the old one did.  I love it.  See those two small shelves?  They are holding most of the books that used to be on "my" desk.  One shelf of books in the school corner and one shelf of books in the reading corner also used to live on my desk.  With so many books - our insulation factor should be roughly the same as a beer cooler!

  
  

  

  
  

  This is the table on the other side of my reading chair.  I really love this corner. . . Except for

  
  

  

  
  

  This is the view from my chair.  All the stuff that lost it's home when everything got shuffled.  I knew that Fugutive would be skeptical that there wasn't a mess SOMEWHERE in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd go ahead and admit it so she didn't have to force it out of me later. 

  
  

  Disclosure up front - that's my motto - no I never smoked pot - I tried speed once when I had to stay up for a night shift - but when I didn't sleep for the next three nights, I realized that was a mistake.  Let's see, while I'm confessing - I've never sold stocks in violation of SEC regulations for the simple reason that I've never owned any.  (My husband has bought stock - you'll have to ask him about his relationship with Marvel comics, I had nothing to do with it.)  I've never failed to pay taxes for my nanny - because I don't HAVE a nanny.  I want one though.  Anyone willing to move to Indiana and live in the purple room and help out with two wild and wooly boys?  I haven't ever engaged in the sale of children - because I can't find a buyer.  In short - I dont know what I'm doing wasting my time here - I'm the perfect candidate for high office!

  
  

  Terri for President!  Quiltnmomi for Congress!  I'll lower taxes!  I'll disband beauracracies right and left.  I'll treat the American people like grown-ups.  I'll reform the court system by bringing back the idea of contributory negligence.  I'll stop trying to reform criminals, we'll go back to crime and punishment - straight and simple.  (I may lobby to repeal that unusual clause in the constitution, I think that unusual punishments are a sign of creativity.)  I'll only send troops into battle if their Moms sign permission slips.  I'll insist that if Arafat doesn't want to resign that he has to move his office to a bus stop in Jerusalem.  I'll insist that if Sharon doesn't recognize that the Palestinians must be treated better, he has to move to Ramallah and try to live on the wages and under the restrictions imposed on average Palestinians.  I'll make the French give us a refund for the Louisiana purchase, (is anyone else cheesed that they threw in all those mosquitoes.)  I'll give Montana to the Native Americans as an apology for the past 200 years.  I'll - wait a minute - I'd have to leave my chair. . . never mind.
