Internet Down

I'm going on week two with no internet on my home computer. So far, I really haven't missed it. Adam has been nice to let me borrow the office laptop this week so I can stay on top of emails and do some online shopping. It's actually amazed me how much more I am able to accomplish without all the websites I thought I HAD to check out everyday. So, maybe it'll be a habit by the time the new computer does come.

Not much new since my last post, really. We were all sick. Then we got better. Now we're all starting to get sick again. Ginny and Aviendha get something, then I get it. If we're lucky it ends there! So far so good with this latest cold (only the three of us have it--sorry Mom and Dad if we passed it along!). I am really, really, REALLY ready for spring!

Adam's made some great progress on our basement--almost all the sheet rock's up in that last room and last night he got the door to the room hung, well almost--he forgot shims, so it's very crooked right now. That will be righted this afternoon, I'll bet.

I am trying to get through the piles and piles of projects I have cluttering up my bedroom, the laundry room, and now the spare room. I inherited the pile-making gene from my dad (thanks, btw) and I am determined to get to everything I've sorted and put away "for later". Some of the things I have put away for later are now 6+ years old. How sad it that? The ones I worked on yesterday were from last year's RS Super Saturday and right after Ginny was born. She's three now!

Beside those projects, I"m really trying to get in gear with my scrapbooking efforts. I'm looking forward to the neighborhood scrap this weekend. I'm going to attempt going Sat. morning. Friday night Adam and I will be going to see Brian Regan in Logan!!! Happy Valentine's Day to myself--well, I gave Adam the tix, but I freely admit that I had myself in mind all along! hee, hee

And, finally, two cute things for Ninna this week. She's learned finally that Mommy means me and if she says it, I'll answer. So she'll follow me around the house saying "Mommy?"
(it sounds more like Bommy) and then she'lls wait for me to say "what?" Then she laughs and does it again and again. If she's on my lap she'll turn and put her face right in mine and play the same game. She gets endless amusement out of it. And I have to admit that I love it too.

The other is that she looks forward to naptime. I'll tell Sam and Ginny they have 5 minutes till her nap to gather toys and such from the bedroom. As soon as I give that announcement, Aviendha will go gather her blankets (dee-dees) and binky all while repeating "Naah, Naah". Then when I pick her up and carry her to her room, she waves and says "Nigh-Nigh"! What a cute little munchkin.
