Of course, being off for Memorial Day wasn't enough to finish the projects we had started. But at least we actually have a kitchen eating area now. Mr. Heems got a bee in his bonnet about the bedroom, so I took off a half day yesterday and went shopping with him. Needless to say we have a new bedroom suite and mattresses.

Upgrade time, we've finally upgraded to OSX 10.4.3 better known as Tiger. Love it, it may have restored my MacDaddy back to usable status, esp. considering that we wiped the drive clean ( Read more... )

New computer time! Work is absolutely lovely in the fact that I just got a new HP with XP on it, much faster than the old POC with Win2000 on it. Also, we just upgraded to Adobe CS2 everything. And I'm looking at it on a 24" monitor. Beautiful. I love the smell of new electronics ( Read more... )
