Whew!

OK, cutting mat board is a lot harder than I remembered it being the last time I did it. Oh, well, it's done. Hubby's present is completed and another thing is off the tick list. Now Christmas cards. Of course I am doing all of this with the side of my computer hanging open, why? Because my Bios is somehow broken, so that I must pull the reset jumper every time I want to turn on my computer. I am not one of those people who leaves the computer on all the time, so this is a huge pain. I also have to reset the clock everytime too. Pain! So now I am trying to decide, build a new computer or buy a system and upgrade the lousy parts. If I build, I can use almost all the parts from my current computer, minus motherboard, power supply and chip. If I buy a complete system, I get a new keyboard, mouse, and LCD monitor, but have to add a new powersupply (they are almost always underpowered) and buy an operating system (I won't do OEM windows ever again). My husband is really wanting an LCD monitor, but I can get one cheaper alone. Decisions.

Ahh, only 14 days to go!

Ok, I do this to myself. No one says that all this stuff has to be done, except me. But I am a hard taskmaster and I can't help myself. The Christmas shopping is not yet done. I still have to make candy, finish decorating and oh, yeah paint the trim that has been up for 3 years unpainted. I can feel a panic attack coming on. Oh well, today I can relax, I just have to go and get new glasses, go to the bank, get boxes for the girl's necklaces, make a pinecone christmas tree, finish the family tree so I can send it to my husbands aunt, send out the cards, cook supper, and clean. I should be done by noon.
