So, here I am, sitting in front of the computer at 11:06pm on Saturday. Since my tentative resolutions were written down, I don't think I've accomplished much. A few days ago, I upgraded my computer with all the parts after going through some frustrating processes, but it seems like it's all working well. I had to reinstall a few programs because there was a problem logging in to my old Windows operating system after upgrading the motherboard. Apparently, you have to do a full re-install or something. I tried to do a fix, but that didn't work. Luckily, I didn't lose anything, per se. My documents are still here, but a lot of the programs that I had aren't on here, albeit I never really used all of them anyway. At any rate, most or all of my essentials are set up. So, unless something happens with the hardware, I think I'm ready to go.

I have to point out, blogging more frequently has been on my mind, so that's good. It's only been, what 8 days or something? I did get a new board game to play with Laura that I've been wanting to get for a long time. It's called Ticket to Ride. It was fun, but I think that more people would make it more fun.

I think this month's project, however, is to get the kitchen table done. That's my goal. We've been needing a bigger table for a while now and I think it's just time to do it. It'll probably take a few weekends and week nights, but I think it's possible. There aren't any hard parts, but just time consuming and making sure that I don't mess up the cuts. Although, after checking the plans just now, it doesn't look like I NEED to make it a fancy interlocking style that I was thinking about, but just some bolts. I my opt for that. That would cut down build time by a lot. I'll keep updated on that.

Okay, I think I should get going. But really, It's hard to even start making these changes. The last few nights, I've been doing the same, mostly because I've been trying to test out my new computer for stability. I just restarted a few moments ago and it was doing something weird booting up, like stalling at the very beginning, the Windows logo not showing up for a while...it was freaking me out. I was already freaked out when I couldn't load my old hard drive, but I managed to get through that. I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning to get that one to work.

Anyway, be back soon.
