Window to the world

I just wanted to share my joy with you all that I finally have an Internet connection in my new office. Yay! It took them a while to get me one -- guess they had to make sure I wasn't a hacker or something -- but today I came in and was able to connect to the world.
Now I can obsessively check the blog again. I was going through serious withdrawal.
I've got to find something to break up the monotony. The job I'm doing right now is a little mundane -- I'm basically just making inventories of what content we have already on the web site. Once that's done, I get to start writing and editing, which is what I'm looking forward to.
My office is a little sad though. I guess no one's used it in a while, because it was completely empty. White walls, white desk, black blinds...everything is blah! I bought a tiny, little violet to help brighten it up in here, and it's doing the best it can...but it has an awful lot of blah-ness to combat.
We just found out that Adam's sister Amy and nephew Dylan are coming out to visit us this weekend! It was a kind of last-minute thing. Adam found a weekend special from Denver to Seattle, so we called the fam to get someone to take advantage of the deal. It's the first time Adam's family has ever visited us anywhere we've lived without there being another reason (like graduation, etc.). They're just not too big on travel. So hopefully we can show them a good time and they'll want to come back.
Jen, you and I must be on the spiders of the world hit list, or something. I almost ran smack into one in our stairwell last night. I had to take the elevator back, just to avoid the bugger. And we only live on the second floor, so that tells you how much I detest those little creepy crawly things. It must have to do with my killing that one that jumped on my leg the other day. Now his whole family is after me.
All right, I'd better get back to looking busy. Love you girls, and thinking happy thoughts your way.
