Today's order: Grande Skinny Vanilla Latte

So, where do you blog?

No, I'm not asking whether you're on Blogger or Wordpress, or whatever. I'm not asking for your URL.

You put a little piece of your self out on the internet every day, often with photos, and people devlop a mental picture of you at your keyboard. But what does it really look like? What's your "command center" like? From whence does your brilliance spew forth?

This, my friends, is the home of Latte Mommy. Please excuse the mess. I spend too much time here, and not enough on the housework.



Laptop, tall (sort of) comfortable stool, stacks of paper and bills precariously balanced (and often falling to the floor), preschool artwork for ambiance. This is Grand Central Station at my house.
I totally love having a laptop, but interestingly I rarely move it from this spot. Other people tell me all the time that they blog (or plurk or tweet) from their couch, from their bed, from all sorts of more comfortable places than that wooden stool up there. However, I never seem to bother moving. I have no idea why. Lazy, I guess! Or totally a creature of habit (also very likely).

Anyway, this is where I am when I write my blog, read your blogs, plurk, tweet, email, cry, laugh, commisserate and (sometimes) shake my fist. This is where it all happens.
Ok, I showed you mine, now you show me yours?

I rarely move my lappy from it's position at the dinner table...it's got it's own place and everything.

Aside from the sweating lap, I find the couch/bed experience enjoyable, however, the five seconds it takes to move is sometimes too much for me...because then you have to move it back and ugh...what a waste of time :)

OH I wish I had a desk. My laptop sits on my dresser, with I am at the moment standing next to type rather than making my bed. Which is the other place that I sit to type. Because most the time it is late at night once I have my monsters, I mean kids, to sleep.

Thanks for bringing me back from the dead.

I usually blog from the family room couch. If not there, then the kitchen counter.

Option 1 is at nap time or after bedtime. Option 2 is while the kid is in the highchair, heh.

I would love a laptop so I could move it around. Thing is...once I get one, I probably wouldn't move it!!!

Here's mine...

OHmommy said...

Is that plurk I see?

wyliekat said...

Okay, I admit it. I generally take a few minutes at work to write stuff. Guilty. Very guilty.

*shuffles away shamefacedly*

But if you would like, go ahead and picture a sea of tastefully beiged cubicle walls (made of soft fabric to avoid employees trying to beat themselves to death against said walls), and you'll get the idea. I *need* to blog from here. Otherwise, my soul would be deceased. Or beiged.

Wylie - I think it's an excellent use of your time at work. Just think of it as resting your brain to make you more productive over the rest of your work day. Right?

PS - Is that you over at wyliekat.com? I usually try to link through to others' blogs from my comments, but can't with yours...

Wyliekat said...

It's me at www.wyliekat.com. I noticed that I don't show up as a linky. Gawd only knows why.

And since I do actually write at work, I'll take your justification and work it! *evil cackle*

I usual post from a very reclined position in the corner part of my sectional.

I sometimes feel like I can never get out of this position.

lattemommy said...

Desiree - the question is, do you really want to? I thought not. :)

PradaPrincipal said...

At work. During my,ahem, break ofcourse! There's a mess for ya...

Milk Is The New Prada: Where I Blog

Bunchy said...

Yeah, yeah...I keep seeing this one...I guess I'll have to do it eventually. I'm catching up on my blog-reading today...I've been missing you all!!

I love seeing people's workspace :) I posted mine a while back. Sadly, my kitchen table doubles as my desk, and my laptop goes to the most inappropriate places with me.

It even sleeps beside me at night next to the bed.

Yes, I need help

I spend 50% of the time of my blogging from my lap top.

and 50% of my time reading blogs from my office. (just don't tell my boss)
