Geez, it's been almost a week.

I guess I've been busy...

I got my new computer in the mail! It's one of those new make-your-own Dell laptops. I got the green one. I'm surprised it took so long to show up-- I ordered it August 8th-- but I think I hit the tail end of the going-back-to-school crowd. My brother ordered his computer a week before mine and he got it August 18th... mine came in this past Thursday.

I love it so far, although I'm still getting used to Vista. I'm not really a huge fan so far. I know enough about computers that I get irritated when they dumb things down and make it all "user friendly" for computer-illiterate people, and then I can't find things that I used to do myself manually because it's all "no no, we do for you! you relax!"

I love WiFi, too. I'm sitting in bed right now on the 3rd floor of my & M's new place... cozy.

I spent all morning cleaning yesterday. I cleaned the kitchen, living room and dining room, put a bunch of things away, sorted out the extra dishware that we don't want anymore (it's nice stuff but not microwave safe), vaccuumed, put away some more books, and then ironed and hung up 4 sets of curtains. My GOD ironing takes a long time. The curtains I bought for the living room are a polyester "these look like silk" blend and they were ridiculously wrinkled from the package. They're gold and shiny, so I was worried they'd make our living room (with what Jen calls the black leather "casting couch") look too much like the King's Personal Champagne Room, but they're actually quite subtle and nice.

So after all that cleaning, I've decided to be utterly useless today. Although actually when M comes back from the gym I want to organize the bedroom and vaccuum upstairs. (Look at me; I'm a real grown-up!)

Coming up next in the Exciting World of J's Home Organization Project: Picture wire! Stay tuned.

Oh, and a special belated birthday congrats for Vera. Hope you had a good one, darlin'. :)
