It's been super cold the past few days here, I can't imagine that the blossoms would be out in full glory for like at least another week. I think that my lavender has died since it got so freaking cold the lats couple of days. Now that is sad to me.

:D

The weather forecast predicts that it will be warm next week! I am so excited!

Finally married... and still married... ;)

Yeah, I've been looking at that too! Supposed to get up to 81 degrees. Probably more where you and I are, since we're away from the Potomac. I think we've finally seen the last of the cold weather here after Tuesday. :D

Good morning all.

Well my computer decided to stop working last night - think it is the power supply. My Husband will sort that out today.

UGH! No fewer than FOUR of my computers died that way.

You know what the trick is? Buy a desktop computer that is BIG. The smaller, compact units tend to have sub-par fans and cramped power supplies, while bigger ones are (obviously) roomier inside and have larger fans, more room for the power supply to breathe etc.

I've had my current desktop computer since the end of 2004, and other than doing some basic upgrades to RAM etc., it has never needed ANYthing. It has never crashed of its own accord (i.e.: the few times it has crashed have been my fault). I'm sure that it's because it's so damn big. All of my prior computers were much smaller.

Good luck with sorting yours out!

Thanks Wyatt - yeah my Husband built this computer for me when we were in Florida, it has been great, until last night. Now it is sitting on its side on the floor, with pieces unceremoniously sitting on the table. Oh well, good opportunity to give it a good cleaning :)

So the hubby decided to change our sink/vanity today, for good reason too, as our old one is just horrible and it leaks. My FIL used to work in construction (retired now) and came over to help him. Our original plan was, my MIL and I were going out, leaving the boys to do the hard work, but she is sick and so she stayed home. Anyway, no complaints or anything, I am enjoying snuggling in bed and catching up on TV shows etc. The problem is, I need... NEED... -NEEED- to pee so badly :wacko::D SIGH. At some point, I will have to make them leave the bathroom and turn the water on, I guess :P

Finally married... and still married... ;)

In my experience there is a lot of swearing that goes on with this type of installation :lol:

Anyway hope it goes well and they are finished soon!

I am sure there were a lot of swearing from them :D

Finally was able to use the washroom too *CHEER*. Hubby and FIL removed the old sink and put in the new one, and are testing the water line. I am hoping that the entire thing will be complete by the end of the day! :)

Well the sink is 98% complete. Hubby and FIL found out that the original pipe from the old sink won't work with the new sink... all after already going to the hardware store. So hubby is going to finish the installation today. It sucks not having a sink at all, but it is very pretty and almost there!

Just dropped my BFF off at the airport. It was so great to catch up and just laugh about nothing for hours. :luv:

I miss doing that with my BFF :(

The last time we got to do it was at my wedding, and before that was like a year before my wedding.

I wish she'd come on msn more often :lol:
