..and I'm not even gonna mention politics 'cause really...what's there to say anymore? Mad World.
Dude, how did I ever live without a DVR?!

Best. Invention. Ever.

I use it everyday to record everything from Jeapordy to science shows to primetime goodies. I also got a cable upgrade so now I get more channels...like, the good ones that the stupid basic cable wouldn't give me, such as Sci-Fi and the History Channel. Yayz.

As for my PC issues: I am currently writing a shitload of files (in safe mode) to disk and my plan is to simply wipe the whole hard drive clean and reinstall everything. I'm really not so upset over it anymore; in fact it gives me the opportunity to start fresh and rid mysel fo all those clunky files that tend to accumulate after a number of years. All I can hope is that all works out well.

Thanks for all the help, guys! Especially cassiee and rosely.

Okay, my birthday was cool. I just chilled, as I normally do. My uncle gave me $300 and my boyfriend bought me a new super-comfy computer chair 'cause my last one broke and the temp one sucked. He also got me a new bed set...comforter, pillowcases, shams, sheets and a bedskirt. Me likes! My mom didn't get me anything but I don't get her anything on her bday either. It's like an agreement we have and it works out fine. I went over to the uncle and mom's house for some meatloaf, mashed potatoes and some veggies, followed by some chocolate cake. Everything was good. And then I came home and watched House. Thanks to y'all for the bday wishes! xoxo

As for the baby shower, I got tons of useful stuff. That's the best part: it's all useful. Even the clothes are awesome...no silly froufrou pink dresses or anything. I got a super stroller that has tons of space and will be used for years. I got TWO bouncy chairs, which is cool 'cause I can leave one at the fam's house since the baby will spend lots of time there too. I got a good and colorful swing. And of course I got lots of receiving blankets and clothes and other baby supplies.

My mom and uncle got me a wonderful, custom-made crib Tinkerbell set. It's just wonderful and pretty and I adore it. I can't wait for my furniture arrives (also from the fam) so I can put the nursery together.

And my sister got me tons of stuff! She was very generous. 1) An Eddie Bauer diaper bag, 2) a cute outfit, 3) a breast pump, 4) a manicure before the shower plus some clothes for me a few weeks earlier, AND.......5) a digital camera! Like, a nice one. A Canon SD450 Elph.

Also, someone gave me the softest blanket ever. omg, it's the best. Everyone wanted one and it was just for me. :D And Pete's mom made two blankets for the baby. That is just amazing. I love that my daughter will grow up with something made especially for her by her grandmother.

Okay, that's about all for now. I gotsta to finish my thank you cards by the morning so they can be sent out.
