Resolution #1 -- Update this blog!

Geez -- I can't believe I've been such a slacker blog-wise. I did list like a maniac through the holiday season and that kept me busy -- as well as all the general holiday hoopla.

I'm now trying to recover from the holidays -- got all the decorations stowed away and spent time actually cleaning things so I feel a bit better about the old house. When you work from your home you can get really tired of the place -- especially when the junk starts to accumulate (since apparently I am the only one who knows how to put anything away).

One thing that kept me away from the blog is something that will actually help with the working from home thing. We gave up thinking that we might eventually park at least one car in the garage and I re-designed the space as an eBay workroom and game-room (with a little nook for the lawnmower, tools, etc. It has made for a much more pleasant and organized workspace -- though I still need to stain/seal the concrete floor to make it look good. I will post a few before and after photos of the space.
