"Me" stuff

So, the other day, Katie asks me: "When are you going to write about yourself?" (ie. non-Bible studies)... so here ya go girl. :)

I found out a little while back that our tv can act as a computer monitor. We have a rather large tv that my husband bought during his bachelor days. Being the techno-mom that I am, I couldn't resist... after days of thinking about unplugging my computer in the office and pulling it out here, I finally did it yesterday. My dear-almost-2-yr-old daughter looked at me like... "What in the world are you doing, mom?" It's pretty cool to have a 42=inch monitor, but working the keyboard and mouse from the couch is a little difficult. But still cool. I don't think I'll keep it here, but it's fun for a while. :)

One of the reasons I'm enjoying having the computer out here is because my office is a MESS right now and I don't have to look at it! Tomorrow night Keith is going to help me get it cleaned up. The biggest problem is finding a place ot put everything. We seem to have a ton of papers. I like to keep them filed, but I have a tendency not to do it right away, and they amass into huge piles pretty quickly. I feel like I need a better filing/organization system, so tomorrow Keith is going to help me out with that.

Speaking of organization, I did a whirlwind clean-up of Victoria's room tonight. Moved some furniture, got rid of a garbage bag of clothes and 3 garbage bags of toys that we didn't need anymore. We're getting ready to transition her room to Dora (ah... gotta love commercialism) so I got rid of a bunch of the Pooh stuff we have in there. She seemed to like it... especially the little corner where I put a bunch of blankets down with a pillow and her Cabbage Patch Kid... sort of a reading nook for her. However, after about 30 minutes she realized she was missing one key item. The big motivation for the clean-up was that we were taking out this really cool Princess castle that grandma and grandpa got for her for Christmas. It's great, but it takes up a lot of room in there, so we are going to move it to the back porch later. So... after about an hour, she started saying "castle?" We told her castle went "bye bye." Sometimes, figuring out how to explain things to a 2 year old is not easy.
