It's here and set up!

The new computer arrived yesterday and Adam set it up for me this morning!!!! Now I get to have the fun task of transferring things off the old one that I still need. Within a week, it should all be good.

So I'm really trying not to let spring fever set in. This nice weather is not supposed to last--and it's a blessing really. I still have several indoor projects I would like to conquer before the outdoors siren call wins me over. I only have one wall to retouch in the guest room downstairs and then I can caulk all the trim in there. Hang some curtains/blinds, and that room's finished! Woo, hoo!

When Adam's brother was living with us last year he pulled the towel rack in the downstairs bathroom off the wall (long, unpleasant story). Well, Adam just got that fixed this past weekend--yeah, I know, we're not that on top of things. That said, I have a bit of paint touch up in there as well. Then the door needs to be painted and the trim caulked. But I am way excited to have the counter top in there completed and it looks AWESOME!

Then, somewhere in the middle of everything else, I've decided to make the girls' Easter dresses this year. I've got the patterns cut out and now the part I like least, cutting out the material. If I can make myself do that part, then I'll be more motivated to get the sewing done--that's the fun part! Esp., since I chose really easy patterns. Wish me luck--Easter's April 12th!

And I think I've finally come up with a system that will control video game time around here. I've still got some tweaking to do--I'll get back on that later.
