Dreaming.In.Reality

ok well only one Beverly…

Today marked the first day of using the Nursery computer. I had a bit of a moment when I thought I should have my nerd license revoked, but I quickly figured it out when asked if my computer thought I had dual monitors. I got MSN and Photoshop installed and mostly configured. I have to backup my brushes and that from my main computer’s Photoshop to transfer into the Nursery’s Photoshop. It’s painful resetting everything up, trying to remember all your passwords as you click through your bookmarks. BUT! As Squeaks gets older, Daddy will have a harder time concentrating with him in the room, so upstairs we shall go. Kev has VNC running so I can check my email on my main computer and all that, so I should be ok. Bev joked today, asking if Kev and I will have seperation anxiety, I think we’ll be ok *L*

I’m thinking harder and harder on my switch to WordPress. I’ve got the urge to create a new layout, so with a new layout I should have a new site as well. I just have to sit down and tinker with some permissions and then get the design how I want it. Port my photo blog entries over. I think the hardest part will be the categories, I’m going to assume that WordPress will port my categories, but I know that I’ll want to add to them as many of my entries cover more than one subject.

I got to talk with Bev today for quite some time. I have to admit, it was good. I missed her. My selfish part of enjoying her time being at Jay’s. She has the internets again! I plan to spend lots of time catching up, we’ve just not had the time like we used to. Whenever she calls I’m always up to my arms in either poo or boobjuice, so I have to call her and then she rings me back.

Wednesday I went to a Mommy meet. It wasn’t as skeery as I thought it was going to be. I met 3 wonderful ladies and their beautiful kiddos. 2 of the 3 babies were close to L’s age and the 3rd was just a few weeks old (so teeny!). We hope to do this again soon and have some other Mommies from our board join us. I’ve also joined up with a Meetup group for Ottawa moms that have lots of activities planned for the next few weeks. I have a playgroup arranged for Thursday, plus I’m going to try and do at least one of the dropin playgroups at the Ontario Early Years Centres. There are several in the area and they have playgroups throughout the week, some 2x a day (am/pm). I also want to start rounding up some activities to do with L here at home. Get him some musical instruments of some kind that he can manipulate with wee hands. I still have yet to learn me some nursery rhymes, that being said, I have yet to find nursery rhymes set to music that isn’t sung by kids. I cannot stand the sounds of children singing. I’d rather stick sharp pointy things in my ears.
