Work space #1
I make a lot of lunches. This was this morning.
My son took a photo originally of me chopping onions which would have been equally as appropriate, and a little prettier as it was in the evening and I was ready for dinner club to come over. But the photos disappeared from the camera. My husband later copped to the ditching of photos. He apparently doesn't like photos of onions.
Work space #2
Here it is in all it's glory. In the corner of my living room. On the other side of the railing is the entryway. I sit on that blue ball. Everybody else uses this computer too. I close it up when I want to keep it a secret. The ball bounces around the house. I have to search high and low to find it when I need to sit. I'm sitting there as I type these words. Weird.

I am so not surprised by the organic look to your spaces and the kitchen pictures.
ReplyDeleteI think that is so interesting that you sit on the exercise ball while you type. Now is it good for your posture? Do you strengthen your abs at the same time? I do have an exercise ball in the basement (I had to use it for physical therapy after a car accident). I banished it to the basement because the kids get wild with it and it's a-bouncin into everything!
ReplyDeleteNice photos. Your work space looks peaceful. My last year of teaching I wrote before and after school perched on an exercise ball at the dining room table.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of sitting on a ball to write. But I bet you stay on the ball. (groan). You win the prize for originality.
ReplyDeleteI love this post!!! Thank you for sharing your living/writing world with us.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting posts to me are personal like this one. I'll try to muzzle my 'on the ball' jokes, but that is one cool way to work on the computer.
ReplyDeleteJonathon-yeah, we have a lot of Ikea, not exactly organic but they certainly peg us as a type.
ReplyDeleteKelly- I do think the ball is good for my posture, but mostly I started because my computer is kinda low and a regular chair just makes me hunch. But the kids drive me crazy with it. Now that it is winter I say it keeps me warm. You know all those extra muscles involved. But really whose to say.
Paul- sometimes when we don't have enough chairs we use the ball at the dining room table to eat!
Laura- I want to see your workspace. When you get home.
Anita- Look at what an inspiration you are! Thanks for being an organizational force.
Terry Lynn- I like the personal ones too!Although it is hard to know how much to share and how much to muzzle! But you seem to have a handle on that, ha!
ReplyDeleteTina--I really like your workspace. Ikea is wonderful. I like how you can close it off--I have trouble with things not being as I left them some days. Now I can picture you working in the wee hours of the morning!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad I forgot about posting our work spaces today. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteGreat pics here. Beautiful hair, girlie girl :D
You are a great multi-tasker. Sitting on a ball is way better than slouching on a couch:)
ReplyDeleteOh, I am not yet that brave!
ReplyDeleteI was just telling Mr. Cate that it's about time I have an acutal picture of myself as my avatar.
My workspace looks like this- dark, quiet, cluttered.
Awesome workspace! I took a picture of mine and will post it whenever I get to it. Which might be never, but you know. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I haven't done this yet. Sorry, Guys!
ReplyDeleteHeather Kelly- Likewise about the picturing thing!
Tess- Never to late. I'm sure everybody would love to see. Thanks, that is my roll out of bed look. Haircut ala Miley Syrus. (Does that mean she did it? What I mean is I got a cut like hers.)
Ocean Girl- I like to be tall!
Lily Kate- I can totally picture that space. Dark quiet and cluttered--Oh, wait, sounds like the inside of my head! I know, about being brave. It's kinda crazy.
Thanks all for stopping by.
"organizational force"...I like it!
ReplyDeleteVery cool that work on a big, rubber ball. Have to think that it keeps your writing & ideas elastic, going in whatever direction is needed, but ultimately balanced by you.
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you for joining my blog. I also look forward to reading more on yours. (Though not a morning person, and living in the west, I'll never be an early commenter.)
Keeping bouncing & writing!
Robert- I'm sorry. I wrote a response to your comment in a rush this morning and now I don't know where it went! I'm so glad you joined the blogging community! Thanks for the well wishes and I look forward to your contributions.
ReplyDeleteAnita- I like it too!
Such fun! And I love seeing all the old photos of the commenters. How long have we been doing this stuff?!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. That was fun to see everybody's old selves! I had to come and look. We have been doing this for such a LOOOOONG time. We are wizened old bloggers!
