Momma's got a brand new

DELL!

I got an email from them the other week about a 3 day sale. I was very subtle and C&P'd the whole thing in an IM to the Hubster! hehehehehe. The hubster, sick of me whining about my ancient system, told me to "go for it". My New baby arrived yesterday!!

YAY! well, except that I need to get a converter cable for my wonderful split keyboard. I'm currently using this teeny tiny thing that came with the system, and it's a challenge, for sure!

Certainly makes me realize that while I may like the concept of a laptop, I'd probably hate one! I need a full, comfortable keyboard!

I also need to transfer my mail program over here too. I left the pics and stuff on there, cause our plan is to get a desk and set up my old system with games and things for J to use.

I sent out a WANTED on on Freecycle, but haven't found anyone with a desk to give away yet, so I may need to suck it up and buy one. If you know of any good sales on (cheap) computer desks that would work for a 5yo, please let me know. :)

I need to work on cleaning the whole computer area now too. My desk looks like it was hit by a bomb.

Oh and I thought CPU's were supposed to be getting SMALLER? This is bigger than my 5 year old Gateway... sheesh! Owell. I can now have two different browsers open at the same time, and my comp doesn't come to a screeching halt. So, I'm a very happy Momma!

Uhhhhhhhhhh

Hi there! You might remember me, My Name is Cyndi and this is my blog! LOL

Holy heck did we have a busy week here. A busy week with nice weather! I kept forgetting things I needed at the store (I know, I know MAKE A LIST)So I spent almost all my am's when J was at school running around.

Her concert/Graduation was on Friday. it was really cute! I'll post the video of her graduating. It's a little long, but it's really funny cause another little boy had to potty, and I didn't notice it at the time, but he starts jumping up and down, hopping and holding himself well before anyone noticed, the poor guy. LOL

I also need to get majorly caught up on the scavenger hunt!! (BAD ME!)

Hope all my fellow Mom's had a nice Mothers Day! I was taken out to breakfast, got to watch some TV while Ava napped. Then we ordered Chinese and lounged around the kiddie pool the rest of the afternoon. It was a nice day!!

I'm blaming the weather...

Johanna was SO not motivated this am. I told her to go brush her teeth and 10 minutes later she still hadn't done it. 5 minutes before that I told her to get her shoes. She hadn't done that either.

Talking to my neighbor at school this am, her girls are having the same kind of day.

Quite frankly, so am I! LOL

I took J to school and ran to the store. I realized after I got home yesterday that I had forgotten to get Bananas and pick up a loaf of bread to make garlic bread with tonite. So we did that.

I get home, and I am greeted by Dottie.

Now, I realize that being greeted by your dog is not THAT unusual, but this means that I had forgotten to lock her in her crate.

Dottie is locked in her crate while we are out because Dottie likes to go food sampling in the Kitchen.

So I do a quick scan of the kitchen on my way to let the dogs outside and happily note that everything seems ok, aside from the bag of chips on the floor. I think they just fell down.

Let the dogs out, and hear a noise. A noise that sounds a lot like chips hitting the floor. Apparently I wasn't the only one who noticed the chip bag on the floor.

So while my puppy was a good poochie and left the chips alone and didn't leave me a huge mess, the same can't be said for Ava. LOL

Then she proceeded to step on them. Apparently crunching chips is fun.

So, yay! LOL

I have a mountain of wash to do and I feel like doing none of it. I ill tho, but I don't wanna! (whine whine whine)

I had planned on scooba-ing the kitchen today, but I'm not. It will only frustrate me. It's going to rain all day and 2 seconds after it's clean and sparkly, the dogs will come in from the yard and get it all dirty. So I am on strike from floor washing until the rain stops!

Oh and if anyone happens to see my motivation, please send it here, and maybe suggest it does the laundry for me while I take a nap. :)

Future Furniture

I'm a planner. I'm not an obsessive planner, I don't think, anyway... lol

I do like to start thinking about things, and looking at things long before I need them.

Take for example the whole situation with the girls, and are they going to sleep in the same room, or separate rooms. Right now, Johanna is wanting to share a room with Ava.

This has me looking at bunk beds, despite the fact that we won't be purchasing their Furniture for at least a year.

I really like the kind that can also be separated into two, individual beds, I know I want them to look more girlish. White and cute. lol

I'm not sure tho, what style I like best. I suppose I should let Johanna have SOME say tho, huh?

This one is pretty neat, despite the fact that it can't be seperated into two beds.



It's called "The Getaway". Johanna's room isn't huge and this would really help with that issue.

I also like a more traditional look like this one:



I found these sets at a site called Great Priced Furniture. They have all sorts of great kids furniture, from room sets to chairs to corner units (thinking we may need one of those too!) LOL I found their site really easy to use, and the selection is great!
