parlor, drawing room, and study






















I haven't had a good stiff drink in a while, and I'm fit for one here soon. There are few things I "miss", and mostly just reminisce and want them to happen again more, soon, but anyway, one of said things is enjoying a nice drink with friends in my backyard in the warm evening, and conversing the night away.

Methinks having a small cocktail party should happen soon.

























I also recently have acquired enough books to more than double my personal library. I'm, to say the least, ecstatic about it. Odd as it sounds, having a personal study is one reason enough to push me towards finding a house sooner. Now, I'm not going about this unreasonably - I fully trust God has the ideal place for me to reside, in his time, but I'm getting close to start spending my Saturdays and evenings driving around looking at open houses.

I want to have a place for learning, a place to retire for brandy and cigars, and a place to recreate and joust in verbal musings...haha. But seriously, that'd be rad.

It's a most satisfying feeling to know that I have a small fortune worth in books that I didn't even spend up to wholesale value, and that it will prove to be a rich trove of Biblical resources for the years to come. God is gracious and blessed me with this small prize. I'm elated!

And on the note of home ownership, talking with Zach the other night somewhat pricked my thoughts in a good way. In a way I never considered. If I buy a house, and then get married within the next 5 or so years, it may not be the place my then wife would want to be. He merely said that he waited to pick a house until Megan could choose with him. That is also been lumped into my considerations. But I'm looking nonetheless.

I'll keep saving my bankroll, keep tapping my foot to new albums, and work hard at everything God puts before me. Soli Deo Gloria.
