make over time

I worked all day yesterday to make over the blogs.  OK, when I say all day I really mean intermittently but still, I didn't finish up until last night.  The blog itself didn't take long but trying to get the header sized right and all takes me forever.  The program I use is quite quirky and not so user friendly.  Anyone got a great program they use for things like that?  Let me know cause I'm looking for something new. Especially cause I'm not doing anything complicated and it shouldn't take so long.

I hope you likey the pink.  I sure do.  It will go nicely with the birthday present Stan bought me that my dad will bring in just over 3 weeks...

Dell Inspiron mini 10 Netbook

Yes, I really did get a pink one.  No more laptop sharing for us!  Oh and did you see that my Dad and Eric will be here in just over 3 weeks!  It has been almost two years since we've seen them and we are so excited to play host and show them around where we live and just have some good visit time.

Today Stan is off to pick up some things we are buying from some good friends that will be moving back to the States.  I feel like we are forever buying stuff from those that are moving away.  It's funny how this is kinda the pattern around here.  When someone moves away it's like a feeding frenzy of 'foreigner' stuff.  The two major things we are buying is a full sized oven--you may just get to see it cause it could quite possibly get a post of it's very own--and a new desk.  The desk we have has a warped and cracked top so we are going to use the drawers (they are still fine and can be separated from the rest of the desk) for homeschool materials and move our stuff to the new desk, which has much more storage space.  I think the desk top itself is also a bit smaller which will be nice.  So over the weekend I will be doing some organizing and setting up of the school area.  Hoping to get started on some Kirby schooling soon.

And one more thing.  Do you remember this post?  It's still something I dream of.  But since it is likely I will never, or at least not in the foreseeable future, get to have an entire room just for me I am carving out my own little space in our bedroom.  We are blessed to have a pretty big master bedroom and my favorite chaise from that post is in there.  So I am setting up camp there.  Stan doesn't know but I'm going to hunt out a new throw (if you have a nice quilt like the one I pictured before and are looking to get rid of it let me know) and just make myself a little area of comfort.  I already use that space for my quiet time so I thought I would just spruce it up a little with some things that make me happy.  Surprise Stan!   

Off to be productive on the Angels' blog.  I'm hoping the internet will be my friend today and let me upload pictures.  Check in to see. :)
