show me where YOU blog

This blog post was prompted by The Father of Five, who occassionally stops by to read "Backside of Forty".  I'm not sure how he found me, but since the majority of the bloggers I follow are female, I enjoy popping in his world every now and then to read a manly blog for a change. 

His recent post, "Show me where YOU blog", sparked some curiosity.  He wrote:
Since “Best Bud Ed” was coming over to my house this morning, I cleaned up the “disaster area” that is USUALLY our computer desk. When I was done, I stepped back, gazed upon my workspace – and began wondering about everyone else’s.

Call it creepy, or a tad bit voyeuristic – but I often wonder what type of setting the creative minds behind many of the blogs I enjoy work in or at.
He posted a picture of his desk and asked other bloggers to post the place from which their blogs originate.

Interesting.  Or, am I also "a tad bit voyeuristic"?

Well, Father of Five, it's not much, but here it is:
I used to have an "office".  Now, I have kids.  Kids need rooms. 

I used to have a desk.  Now, I have a cart... in a corner. 

I tried to clean it, but decided to just post it "as is".  The area is usually cluttered with bills, notes, receipts, school papers/artwork, wife and daughter hair accessories, etc.  This is a corner of our "temporary-while-I-take-over-six-years-to-remodel-the-main-living-room" living room.  It will some day be a den.  We usually like to post outdoor pictures, because all the floors in the yet-to-be-remodeled side of our home are hideously ugly.  Some day I hope to have an office again, but bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms and living rooms are higher on the priority list.

Incidently, I also have a laptop, but have been too lazy to get my network functioning.  I will someday get "out of the corner" and start blogging from the couch... or wherever.  But, for now, this is it.

So, fellow bloggers, will you show us where YOU blog?
