Another Christmas has come and gone. While money was tight, I think everyone came away happy. I was able to put tires on my truck thanks to my parents and still had enough left over to buy a small flip-like video camera. Something to play with when bored.

Sunday we all went out after church to do a little shopping around for needed items, like a mattress that doesn’t sag in the middle. We found a few possibilities, but nothing we were willing to commit to yet. While shopping we stopped at a local flea market to browse.

While there I found an eMac that was in very good shape. They wanted $75 but he went down to $50, so that was a deal that I couldn’t pass up. It’s really quite nice and it gives me something to do my work on while the girls continue to kill the windows machine. It is capable of working with my photos and videos, slowly but not as slow as the windows computer.

I am planning on doing more photography this year, even if it’s only for me. I just need to get out and create, I think that will lighten my mood considerably. Got to go, need a nap after taking my meds then on to some chores!

That title may seem wrong but it actually is a good thing. Due to the inclement weather we were stuck at home. All of us, together, for the whole weekend! We did pretty well actually, especially once Anna got the idea in her head that she wanted to make a ginger bread house. Becky and I had no experience whatsoever with that sort of thing so we improvised a bit. What we ended up making was a graham cracker house, which turned out pretty well. I didn’t do a whole lot really. I helped shape some of the pieces and helped put the roof on, other than that it was pretty much their baby!

Here, have a look:

Pretty cool huh? I think that even though we were amateurs we did a commendable job of it. It does look tasty, in a diabetic coma sort of way! Here’s an isometric view for the gamers out there:

Granted, I wouldn’t want to live there since you can’t see out the windows and I think it would leak like heck come the first good rain storm, it still has curb appeal:

You can meet the builders after the fold…

Meet the construction crew Desi, Becky, and Anna. They sure do rock:

I Love Summer(not)

It is hotter than a… well I can’t really say that and keep my family friendly rating now can I? Actually I may have blown that already!

But really, it is HOT. The humidity is making it even worse. If you pile on top of that the fact that I am no longer on my depression meds and it is a recipe for lethargy. I haven’t been doing much of anything except going to work and coming home and sleeping. I hate it when it gets like this.

I do have a doctors appointment for tomorrow so I can get to work on the meds part of it. I have to leave the rest up to nature on whether it cools down or not. The weatherman did assure me that it would ONLY be in the upper eighties on Thursday, well yippee ki-yay. It is so sad when they say upper eighties like it is a good thing!

I would love to post more but I am going to go have a lie down before work, well maybe I will. I also have more music to put on the mp3 player. I am just amazed at how much that little thing can hold!
