Next Saturday is the big co-ed baby shower in Anniston. It should be a lot of fun, with all kinds of family and KJT friends making appearances to celebrate our upcoming birth and give Bailey lots of pink presents. All the excitement from the baby shower should help me forget about the crushing defeat that Tennessee will likely hand to my Auburn Tigers that same day. After the shower, we'll be bringing all manner of baby stuff back home with us, and the following weekend, Genia's parents will be bringing a truck filled with baby furniture. All that stuff has to go somewhere, so last night Genia and I cleared out the second bedroom in our apartment, which had served us well as an office -- complete with the quintessential dot-com office accessory, a foosball table. We were able to find a pleasing layout rather easily, and the area feels surprisingly spacious. At the request of my skeptical friend ColeSlaw, here are some pics.

This is the view from the front door. The two canvas chairs are holding the spot for the foosball table, which was too big and too heavy for me to move without help from someone besides Genia. (She shouldn't be lifting heavy objects, being pregnant and all.)

This is what the room looks like from my desk. Our dining table fits perfectly in the corner, and there's enough room for the foosball table behind the couch.

This is Genia's workspace, complete with her favorite lamp and easy access to the stereo to excercise her right to veto too much U2.

This is my workspace. And, yes, those are bobbleheads of Austin Powers and Dr. Evil. They were a gift from my dad, and I love them! My U2 wall calendar and Speed Racer metal sign will be going up soon.
