Day One

Although the day started slowly, it's a great day for a first post.

I've been working on transforming the back porch into a "playroom." The drywall was finished last week and "mudding" the walls began; that's nearly completed. Today the ceiling texture went on. Put the finishing touches on the new recessed shelving unit over the kitchen sink. Still need to caulk the bottom shelf and that project will be done.

Setup my neighbor's DSL. He signed up April 23. Quite a long wait, but worth it for the price savings from cable. Now that I know what problems to solve, we'll be switching from our $60/month cable to DSL when the contract expires.

And for the most interesting part of the day: my mother-in-law's flight down from PA was delayed . . . by 11 hours! Poor mom; too bad she had to wait so long. Amusing because the wife and I found out (before she did) that she's flying "Hooter's Air" . . . mortification was an understatement. =) Worst part of the delay is picking her up 11 hours after 5:15 pm at oh-dark-30-something in the morning. =p Won't be sleeping much tonite.

Well, I need to go give Little Bear his last month's haircut . . . ever tried to give an unwilling 2 year old a haircut? Don't. No fun.
