excitement and lots of it :)

i hope that you all had a wonderful memorial day. the hubby and i had a really nice one. it was spent listening to music and talking about my dad. every memorial day i think of him. he was a marine but didn't serve that long due to a hardship discharge.i thought about our friend Kelvin who is still serving as we speak. i also thought about my friend Doug who gave his life during this war. the sunday doonsbury (sp?) really hit me. i scanned for doug but didn't see it. i would like to say a little thank you to all the military and their families. may the ones still serving come home safe.

sorry about the downer. on to bigger and better things. :) the hubby has been putting together his new box. we found out that the mainboard he bought needs to be returned though. that will be done once he gets home from work. we almost bought the other board that we are going back for. i don't remember why we changed our minds. once he is finished he will have a nice Quad Core with 4gbs of 6400 ram. (i believe that is the right number).

last night before going to bed i decided to play a few of the instant win games i was told about. it actually went rather awful at first. getting nothing but 'sorry, not this time' screens. then all of a sudden i got 'you are an instant winner'. i won a $10 amazon e-gift certificate. :) which is awesome. i replied to their email and am now waiting to get it. yay. now i just need to keep at it and maybe get the iPod. *lol*

this morning when i woke up i woke up to wonderful news. i opened my google and there was a little note saying i had a message on vox. i got on vox and was very very happy. why do you ask? well, it is because the lovely miss haze has started work on my skirt. i am sooooo very excited about it. we have been talking about it most of the morning via the wonderful vox messaging system. i think it is going to look great on me. i'm really looking forward to this. :) i believe she is right about the design. i do know that it is going to be great. now all i need to do is get a nice pair of navy wedge sandals and a few tops to go with it.

well, i better get back to work. if you need me, just msg. :)
