What a day! Got absolutely nothing done. Well, not true. I did load up a new set - The Story of Us. I totally got lost in that pink last night and had to force myself to go to bed! Anyway, it's up if anyone is interested. I gave up on the psp for now. I am so behind this week - haven't even done laundry . . . well, just towels and undies. TMI? Oh well.

The reason I got nothing else done today is because we got a new car! Kewl. Long story short-ish: We got a Mitsubishi Montero Sport a few years back on the 1 year no payments special they had. This vehicle was great for us . . . . until we got pregnant again! We quickly realized that there was no way for my big 9 yob to fit in the back with two car seats. (They just changed the laws in CA on 1/1/2 to the 6 years or 60 pounds, and Kaitlin is almost 5 years and only 45 pounds, so we will continue to require two car seats for another year and a half.) Also, we take my FIL places with us often, and felt that tying him to the roof rack might have been "over the top"?! Great pun . . sorry! Anyway . . . we figured there was no way to get out from under the montero, having it for 2 years, but only paying down one so far. It turns out Ford is really looking to move 2002 inventory and we got a great deal! So we came home with a new 2002 Expedition! It has three rows of seats, so we can get all of us and potentially three more in our car at a time! More kewlishness! I'll miss the Montero as far as handling, etc, but I can put the kids way in the back and crank up the tunes and never hear them argue! Triple Kewl!!! And it has dual a/c controls and tape cassette 6 cd changer and power drivers seat controls and get this: the pedals are power adjusting! Push a button and they come up to meet my short little legs. Radi-kewl!!!! Well it drives more like a boat - that'll take some getting used to and it goes fast. Big red flag for the CHP. Oh well. Let's go somewhere! Vroom!

Oh my gosh. I don't think I can do it. No. I can't. I feel lost. Is it because I'm pregnant? Don't think so. Hmmm.

I downloaded the free trial version of Paint Shop Pro. Seemed so cool in the demo. But . . . . it is so different than the archaic MS Image Composer I am using, I don't even begin to comprehend how to get started. Anyone have any words of advice? Wanna come over and play? I want to create a new set with this great photo I found at 315dpi, but I am stumped. I guess I'll use MSIC in tandem and just play around. I am not sure, however, whether or not the 30 days is going to be enough. I'll see. Oh, also, I guess I can load up some tubes and have fun with those. Where to look. Oh, I think Jenn has some tube links I can follow. Bye.

Quick note - 'nother set.

Oh my goodness! Guys across the street are having a pool put in. Guys next door are putting in a new driveway. It was so noisy this am that we just couldn't stay at home, let alone do school! Henry is learning long division - need I say more? But we had a fun day - ran some errands, hit walmart, grabbed lunch from McD's (BTW - I only ate a handful of fries and part of my burger for the blood sugar issues) and took it to a park for a picnic! Weather was good, just in the mid 80's, real nice in the shade, which is where I was! So we get back at two and all's quiet, thinking we can get a nap and whammo - they're at it again! I'm so tired I'll probably sleep anyway! Picked up some adorable summer outfits for Kaitlin - couldn't make them for the price.

I splurged and ordered this dress for me after the baby comes - isn't it purty? And I ordered these sandals to go with it. I ordered the pale gold since I already have white sandals. Think they will go? They aren't the gaudy gold, but a nice polished iridescent gold, if the pictures are right. Anyway - I have been eyeing this dress and didn't want to wait. I know I am going to be working hard for it(i.e. push, push, push), so I went for it!! LOL!
OK who needs sleep? Made a new set - aspirations. Have a look and give the credit for the background and cool color palette to Jenn!
