Greetings from Santa Fe!

Long time no see, folks! 

Apologies that my posts stopped somewhat abruptly back in September: Moving Day came a lot quicker than expected and it's been a flurry of activity since then. I started my new job in late-September, and we moved in to our new house shortly thereafter. We still can't quite believe that we're homeowners. 😲

As with our last places, I have my own hobby space. The War Room is still being unpacked (yes, even after 3 months) but I'm determined to keep it in order this time. 

Thankfully it's not quite this bad anymore...

But as you can see from photos taken before the moving truck came, it's actually a fairly spacious room. And it's already been approved by Jimmy and Gizmo too (the latter of whom loves to curl up in the window). 

Unfortunately my desk didn't quite survive the move, so I've had to get a new one. I actually think I like this one a bit better due to all the storage allotted by the cubby holes. Many thanks to Teresa for doing the bulk of the des assembly....I absolutely hate putting furniture together.

I've also bought a few new desk accessories as well: a large cutting mat that covers most of the desktop, LED lights with magnifying glasses built in (seen above), and a 10" portable DVD player that I've already tested with Kelly's Heroes. Now I'm looking into shelving for the closets for even more storage space. 

It's a work-in-progress, but I'm really happy with how the War Room is shaping up. This isn't even mentioning the home improvement projects Teresa has planned (of which there are several). Her most recent project was replacing a recessed light in our entryway with something that better fits the Southwest. 

In terms of projects, I'm currently working on stuff for The Silver Bayonet, a game of gothic horror set during the Napoleonic Wars. I'm hooked...and the figures from North Star Military Figures are absolutely fantastic! But more on them in a later post.
