Oh, I forgot to mention that Marcus got his CCNA certification (the first Cisco cert) on Friday. YAY, MARCUS! I'm so proud of you!

YAY, it's spring! It's not even 8:00 a.m. yet and already 60° F outside. Time to do some much needed yard work. Since it's looking like we're going to be in the park another couple of years to be able to afford land, we've decided to go ahead and put in some grass and stuff. No point in being totally miserable here during that time. I'm also going to put in a small garden. I'm tired of putting off the things I enjoy. "Someday" may never get here, so I'm going to start enjoying my life. I think that's something I've been missing lately.

Well, the shower repairs took longer to complete than I thought, but it turned out great. We finished the last few details yesterday and I used it last night. No leaks! I'm such the handywoman. Next project: carpet cleaning. Whoohoo, I'm exicted now.

Yesterday we put a new remote control unit in the ceiling fan in our bedroom. The old one took a dump. The problem now is the fan remote doesn't work well, but the Dish satellite remote turns the fan on high speed. I have to look for the instruction book on how to change the Dish remote frequency since Marcus refuses to take the fan down again. I don't blame him, it was a pain in the butt.

Taking those few days off from work was fun. I so hated going back . . . And just as I thought, they didn't do all the work they were supposed to do. The weird thing on Thursday was I was mad, but I didn't blow a gasket like I normally would have. I'm to a point right now that I couldn't really care less. That's a bad sign. I usually do stupid things when I get to that point. Oh, well. I've been doing a lot a soul searching about my life the last week. I have a strong feeling that some positive changes are going to occur in the near future. I don't know wha'ts causing that, I just hope it's true.

Well, I'm going to go dig in the yard for awhile before it gets hot.

Can you believe they're actually playing music videos (and not crappy rap, hip-hop types) right now on MTV? Totally amazing!

Current mood: sad

What an extremely sad day. We lost two very talented entertainers:
Dudley Moore and Milton Berle.

Sorry, I dont' think there's going to be whole lot of posting the next few days. I decided to take three days off from work to get stuff done that really, REALLY needs to get done. Luckily my satellite connection is sucking today (getting this much of a post up took forever) and it gave me the motivation to get started on my list of projects. So far, my master bath shower is totally apart and I need to run and get some things to fix it. I've been dusting, paying bills, laundry, dishes, etc. So, if I can take a few minutes to post, I will, otherwise, I'll definately post on Thursday (especially if nobody does any dough while I'm off). Wish me luck that I can get the shower back together.
