Office Daydreaming

It's official, I need an office.  And I don't mean a space to just escape to or hide out in.  When I first started this blog, it was a just space to share my story and find support.  Here I am three years later and I've been featured in two magazines, been recognized on the street and getting approached my major brands to work with them.  The success that my blog has reach is amazing to me.

I'm currently finding myself having to hunt down space to store files of important papers and emptying my closet to hold make room for packages.  I've realized that while a laptop is great, there's nothing like having a desktop, especially when said laptop just dies on you.  Let's not even mention the fact that I've been looking into getting one of those heavy duty all-in-one printers.  Plus, my old desk is beyond being on it's last leg.  It's literally being held up by a table and a wall.

So, what better to do than daydream about my dream office with a little help from Pinterest?  Here's a little inspiration for what my future office will look like.

This will be my reminder to keep pushing forward on those days when I want to tell myself, "You can finish that tomorrow."

I saw this and immediately heard Slim Thug playing in my head. (Google it if you're not familiar.)

Pinterest
I definitely need to see pictures of my darling family, especially the Mr and the kids.  They have given me so much motivation, encouragement and inspiration.  Seeing them is always the highlight of my day and an instant mood lifter!

Pinterest
Love the idea of using this as my desk chair.  However, it definitely need wheels on it and be able to swivel around.

Pinterest
I would love to have an L-shaped desk with this design carved into the back and side panels.  Not sure if I would leave the natural color of the wood exposed or if I would paint it.  I would definitely love to have a lucite top with rounded corners on it though.

Pinterest
Love the shape of this chair, but would definitely change the fabric on it.  I'd probably even add longer legs on it so it wouldn't be so low to the ground.  Don't want anybody struggling to get up.

Pinterest
Love this!  Silver is just is just so much more elegant and stylish to me.

Pinterest
Love the idea of being able to hideaway certain office equipment.  This is both an aesthetic feature and a security feature because you could always add a side lock.

Not a bad start so far, right?  Not sure what color scheme I would go with but I like colors that are light and refreshing.  Nothing too dark or somber.

Do you have a vision of a dream office?  What's one thing that would be a must have?

My Weekend WrapUp

Although the weekend might be coming to a close, I'm sad to see it go.  I don't have to go into the office tomorrow. Therefore, I will be sleeping in for as long as Moo will allow me to.  Another reason I'm not sad to see the weekend go is because my Mommy will be back from her ten day conference training session.

I have to admit that I didn't think I was going to miss her, but I do.  I even got her a 'Welcome Home' gift.  I'll post pics in my next Weekend WrapUp.  This weekend has been kind of long. Saturday was graduation. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to any of my little cousin's graduations because of work. Ugghhhh.. Frustrating but what can you do?  Bills have to get paid and diapers have be bought.

However, I did make it to the cookout and got a chance to hang out with family. Some people I hadn't seen in ages.  I tell you I'm glad that school is out because I have heard promises of more family cookouts to come.  And I'm proud to announce that I will be starting off the family cookouts with Moo's Baptism Celebration and Memorial Cookout in a few weeks!!!

My mind is running a mile a minute planning out menus, decorations and everything.  I want this event to be perfect or as close to perfect as it can get.  Looking forward to creating an atmosphere in which the younger generation will get to know the older generation.  Cookouts are the perfect setting for telling stories and teaching youngsters their history.

And today was wonderful.  We made it to church just in time for the offering.  And yes, I was THAT mom again this week. Moo was quite talkative and had a bad case of Ants in the Pants.  I think that her terrible twos came early.  At least we didn't have any more Bible tearing accidents.  So, that is an upgrade. I sent up a special prayer that God will continue to shape her and smooth out her rough edges.

I did enjoy a nice dinner with my immediate family today as we gathered for a surprise 49th birthday party for one of my uncles. He was genuinely happy to see that we had thought enough to surprise him.  With all the death in our family lately, we have learned to give each other our roses while we still have life.  Nothing will remind you what's most important like death will.

I'm looking forward to many more birthday celebrations to come.  Well, I am officially still stuffed from my dinner. I will certainly have to work out double time to get this off. Planning a little Mommy and Me retreat to the beach and I want to look super cute in my new bathing suit. 

So, how was everyone else's weekend?
