norsegirlThis week it's all about space -- your personal, just-me space.

1. What do you consider your personal space (e.g. your bed, your room, your house, your car, your office)? (if you're partnered with someone(s), you may choose to consider your shared space as your personal space, as you will)
My car, my house, my desk at work and the desk next to mine that was empty but which is now mine too. I share my space with my husband pretty much without qualms. My only issues happen when he messes up my space or runs over something of mine with his wheeled office chair. The sewing room however is mine. He is not allowed to put anything in there because, frankly, it's too full as it is.
2. Would you like more? Less? Different?
More of course. My sewing room is totally having issues, my closet is stocked to the gills and there's only 1 1/2 feet around my bed because I have a big bed and a small "master" bedroom. The living/dining/kitchen are fine, but the bedrooms could use a little more.
3. What do you do to mark your space (e.g. lock the door, put up posters, let fly the hounds of hell, and more importantly, their dog hair)?
I do let fly the hounds, complete with fur, though the hounds are even banned from the sewing room (too many tempting things to turn into chew toys). I always lock my space when I leave it and usually keep my house locked when I'm in it. I have also taken to locking the gate to my front yard to keep away "helpful" people like door to door salespeople and anyone who wants to help me find Jesus.
4. How comfortable are you with having other people in your space?
Depends on the people and the condition of the space. I'm comfortable letting practially anyone in my home when it's in good shape, otherwise, I get antsy. Any room is the same as any other, as long as they're tidy. If guests want the full tour, including bedroom, fine, but the messy, disasterous sewing room is out of bounds.
5. How much personal space did you have growing up?
My own room, and I later claimed half of the basement as art studio/sewing rooms. I think I had more space then than I do out on my own.
