Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

My favorite room in the house

 It's the majlis. That's what we call the room and the floor couch. Majlis.

 It's great for dance parties.

 For napping/watching General Conference.

 For playing bring-all-your-blankets-and-pillows-into-the-majlis.

And for setting up a whole bunch of kids to watch a movie.

Not pictured: working. The majlis is Jeremy's office (the part of the room that's not in any of these pictures is the bookshelf + his desk with his computer). I do almost all my work in the majlis - I just take my laptop from my office and find a comfy spot on the majlis. If I get tired of being in a certain position, I can rearrange the cushions or lie down or sit up or recline to any degree I want. When Jeremy and I are in there together, we can ask each other questions or get research ideas from each other or fight about which Pandora station we're going to listen to. It is a regular work party.

That's my favorite room in the house: the majlis.

I might regret this: a post related to gun control (*ducks*)
