Ahh, to remember the glory days of cruising the web or blogging from the dining room, couch or the comfy bed.  C&#8217;est la vie.<\/p>\n<p>So here I am in the office.  It&#8217;s cold in here right now, pretty boring, and CHOCK FULL OF STUFF.  We filled it with Stuff when we first moved in, then when we had to make a bedroom for the impending Lydia we filled it with more Stuff from her room.  <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s amazing what we have in here.  I see a laptop bag I can&#8217;t use right now since my computer is essentially grounded, a small filing cabinet we definitely use, a larger filing cabinet we&#8217;d love to use but can&#8217;t find the damn key to unlock the thing, a box of pictures, a huge shelf of books, Lydia&#8217;s excersaucer, the old CRT screen that should really be in the basement, Lydia&#8217;s infant carrier, a buttload of books . . . and that&#8217;s just a sample of what I see in the room itself.  The closet is much more fascinating &#8212; it&#8217;s where we keep our DVD collection, games, and my My Little Ponies, among other things.<\/p>\n<p>What in the world will we do with all this Stuff?  It&#8217;s all important Stuff that I don&#8217;t want to be banished to the basement, but it can&#8217;t stay here anymore.  We need room at the Inn, so to speak, and I don&#8217;t think Lydia will be willing to share her crib come next June.  <\/p>\n<p>Another kid?  Yeah.   <\/p>\n<p>But what shall we do with the Stuff?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since my laptop had a brief stint in an exercise class, it has been tethered to an old CRT screen (and, more recently, a sweet flatscreen monitor Steven scored from work) in the third bedroom that has always been dubbed &#8216;the office.&#8217; Thus, I have also been relegated to the office whenever I have [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,11,5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=522"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2429,"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522\/revisions\/2429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=522"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=522"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crunchythoughts.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=522"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
