Staycation? What staycation?
Beloved is taking the week off work, ostensibly for a 'staycation,' although I have hardly seen him - projects have come up and he's had all sorts of presentations and things to finish, so he's been stealing my office, and he's got rather sneaky about it.
This morning I was sitting at the desk, doubtless doing something incredibly important like, blogging, or reading Perez, when Beloved appeared in the doorway.
'Want to come and sit with me while I have breakfast?' he said, seductively.
'Sure,' I leaped up and headed for the kitchen, only to turn around and see him sitting at my computer with an evil glint in his eye.
'I'll be right there,' he kept saying, as I moaned at him, and spent the next half hour scuffing round the kitchen waiting.
This is not the first time. His stuff is slowly taking over my office. And he doesn't like the way I don't put anything back where it belongs (I don't like it either, but I can't help it. I'm genetically wired to put things down in ridiculous, unlikely spots, never to find them again).
I love having him home. And when we build our house, I'm making sure he has an office all to himself.
I have to say, your office, small as it may be, is absolutely wonderful! I love it... Particularly your library, which is full of a huge amount of the same books (guess there are some that you wrote...) But, what's the purpose? I'm just wondering... :d

I wish my bookshelf looked like that! I have told my family I want every Jane Green book she has ever published. (in English) So far I only have 4 out of the 9 with a few duplicates. Hopefully someday I can have a bookshelf as full as yours!!

I can so relate. I'm also a writer and while I've been sharing my office with my husband and it hasn't been much of a problem - he's a nightowl and I'm in bed by ten so when he uses the space it doesn't impact me until recently. He's becoming more involved with photography so now I have his camera & equipment and a big freakin' tripod plopped right in the middle of the office. Urgh!!!!!! Oh, well. I guess we could have bigger problems.
Love your office. It's looks very pretty & peaceful. Love the book shelves.

What I noticed in the last picture? Your books look so pretty! Mine are so sloppy on my bookshelves (not enough shelf space) & they're definitely not color coordinated!
My husband works from home so he has an office here but...I'm without my own computer. Drives both of us crazy as I'm on the computer as soon as he's up for just one second, always trying to steal a minute hear & there!

Sorry to say this, but I soooooo feel for Beloved! My husband is always invading my office (which should make me feel for you!!), but that's not the problem. Problem is, he has the same gene that prevents him from putting stuff back whrer he found it! so if he works at my office for an hour, there will be an afternoon's moaning! trying to get him out of the habit, but DNA resists!
