We have a spare bedroom that serves as a guest room and a playroom for when the grandkids are here. The room has a bed, dresser, recliner and a TV that the boys XBox is hooked up to. We didn’t used to have a spare TV but we do now and I thought it would be better to have the boys play their games in there when they are here.
It is better.. it’s quieter and hubby can watch what he wants in the living room. Before Tayler went to Texas with her mom she got to play on the XBox without bothering anyone or anyone bothering her. Andi even went in there to play the XBox too. I guess she needed an escape from her parents too.
That bedroom is a really nice size and there is still plenty of room even with the bed, dresser, recliner, TV and toys.
I have a spare bedroom that gets used once in awhile. I’ve been trying to decide if I want to move my office furniture (desk) out of the living room and put it in the spare bedroom. I already have a bed, dresser, 2 night tables, my elliptical and some boxes in there.
This would involve a lot of re-arranging of furniture. On second thought maybe I should just leave things as they are. If I do move the desk then I lose being able to watch TV while blogging. That wouldn’t be any fun at all!
I really want to get rid of the huge entertainment center I have in my living room. The problem with doing away with that is I’d have no place to put my old TV, dvd player and the grandkids Xbox. I’d really love to get a flat screen TV and get a tv mount and mount it on the wall.
I’d still have the problem of what to do with the dvd player and Xbox but the TV problem would be taken care of. I could put a nice small bookcase under the TV and put those things on there or a small cabinet with doors to hid the electronics. I think the latter would be the better thing to do. I’ll have to think on this one for a bit and figure out the best thing to do.
Have you ever watched late night TV when you get a case of insomnia? I would get insomnia quite a bit and be up to 3 or 4 in the morning. TV at that time usually consists of commercial programs.. you know… the kind of programs that try to sell half-asleep people all kinds of things. They sell household cleaners, exercise equipment, colon cleanse products, beauty products and much more.
If you’re a shop-a-holic.. don’t stay up late at night and watch TV.. you’ll go broke. Those people selling that stuff are good at what they do and they can really rope you in if you aren’t careful. It’s best to find a movie or some DIY show to watch.. it’s cheaper.
I started a new crochet project last night. It’s a picnic basket cover-up for a tissue box. Isn’t it cute?
I didn’t have enough beige/tan yarn to make the basket part so I’m using black for that. I’m about halfway finished and it will probably be done tonight. I think it’s cute. I know cover-ups aren’t for everyone and they usually aren’t for me, but I saw this pattern and thought it was adorable.
Crocheting keeps my hands busy at night while I’m watching TV. It’s better than sitting around doing market research or smoking!
