I can’t wait until my new computer arrives!! Hopefully it’ll be easier for me to read & post to LJ, and to check & reply to my email. This whole sharing the sole computer thing is for the birds!
The computer is scheduled to arrive tomorrow! :D As HTB & I both have chores & things we want to get done, we've decided not to unpack the computer from it's shipping box until after these things are done. Otherwise they stand a good chance of NEVER getting done.
The weekend was fabulously productive.
HTB’s new smallish L-shaped computer desk was put together. It’s smaller than most L-shaped desks, but it still just BARELY fit. We have WallFileCabinetMyDeskHisDeskWall. Just like that, too. Not even a inch of space is left between the two walls!
We also got a bunch of stuff donated, stuff I was tripping over, stumbling over, and always getting bruises from. We’re down to a few boxes in the hallway by the living room & one big box in the entryway (it’s my old 15” monitor, and we still need to find a place to donate it to).
The Bridal Show was FUN! We stopped by all the photographer booths, both the cakery/bakery booths, perused a couple of the florists, and strolled by the rest. HTB was meticulously inspecting all the photographs in the photographer booths. It was really quite scary, some of the people who were setting up shop & calling themselves Wedding Photographers. At least 2 or 3 of them had these big blown up pictures they’d taken with measly little 3 or 4 megapixel cameras. Those pictures should never have been blown up any larger than 5x7, and these were huge ~15”x20” plus pictures. Uck.
We wanted to have a digital photographer but almost all the ones we saw were so bad that HTB thought we were going to have to go with a film photographer. We finally saw one digital photographer that had REALLY good pictures (14 megapixel camera), and the best part was his prices! His highest priced package was lower than a lot of the other guys LOWEST packages!
One of the funniest parts of the Bridal Show was each vendor’s reaction when they saw my nametag that said we were having a June wedding. They were ALL like “Oh, June. That’s one of the bad months.” And they were all kind of cranky/frustrated at having to try and talk with someone who they in all likelihood wouldn’t be able to squeeze into their schedule. Then we explained how our wedding date was June 2007, and the universal reaction was “Oh Good! You’re planning ahead / you’ve got good timing / etc”. One of the vendors told us how his June Saturdays were always fully booked up at least a year in advance.
I knew we’d have to book & make all these decisions early, but I honestly didn’t think we’d need to do them this early. HTB & I decided that we need to make final decisions & book these different vendors no later than late April or early May.

I'll keep that in mind. I saw an ad on tv the other day for a place in town called the "Computer Reuse and Recycle Center". It said they were a non-profit organization, so I'm going to see if they'll take my monitor.
I should've taken the monitor with us when HTB & I donated my old tv, tv cart, and old vcr to Goodwill this weekend.
