FRUSTRATED!
ARG! I'm having an annoying day. I was so excited about having a Saturday to spend unpacking. Dave and I have been talking and talking and talking about how we should arrange this smaller living room. It seems there's a problem with every single thing we come up with. GRRRR!! I just have to deal with the fact that it's not going to look as nice as it did at our last place because we just don't have the space. (we also don't have cockroaches, which is nice) So we were moving the honkin huge bookcase into the spare room and would you believe we cannot get it back there? not enough space. And I was getting highly annoyed because I don't want nasty marks and dents in our otherwise nice looking walls. So we stopped that and it's lying on it's side on our floor. next idea. We're trying to find a way to fit all our electronic junk in the living room without looking like it's overloaded with stuff. We have an old nasty TV but a nice new computer monitor. So I said something to Dave about running the TV through our monitor and getting rid of the TV. I've heard of people doing that. It seems like a win win cause we could use one screen for multiple uses and then get rid of stuff we don't need. I started looking online and there are things you can buy for a relatively cheap one time fee and you get tons of channels on your computer. We are thinking about doing that. We don't watch TV that much and don't have that many channels now, but like to at least have the option of watching the news. And game shows. haha. Anyway, this is more channels than we possibly need, but we also don't want to have a lot of channels sitting there that would be of questionable content. So anyway... bla bla bla. Do you or anyone you know have something like this? Any info on that? Well anyway, our living room is ripped apart and most of the stuff has no where to go. Maybe we should just go to the water park and ride roller coasters for the rest of the day. That might put things in perspective, no? Esp. since I hate roller coasters so much that coming home to a frustrating living room might even seem like fun after that.

I'm sorry you had a rough day. Moving is not stress free! If you don't watch TV very much could you put it in your bedroom or spare room? Or maybe put it in a closet for a month and see if you really miss it. Hope you're having a better evening!
We thought of that. The problem is the cable is smack dab in the middle of the living room. So if we are going to keep the cable the TV HAS to go there. Fortunately we can use wireless on the computer, so that might end up in the bedroom. We are still working on it. =)

Oh well... I'd say not having cockroaches is a pretty good trade for most anything. :-)
how did i miss these last two posts until now?? hmmm. i usually don't come looking for new posts because they are supposed to come to me on bloglines. the odd thing is that a few days ago, two really old ones of yours showed up there. :)
hope you get things figured out soon. i suggest tossing the tv. :D
I was going to comment earlier, but then I forgot. Anywho, I was going to ask if there was any way of chopping up the bookcase to make it easier to move, yet still functional. We have a desk that had to be mercilessly shortened in order to get it through an office door. :(
Sorrying moving is so frusterating. Looking forward to seeing new pictures. I would have to agree with Robyn, anything is better then cockroaches:)
