So far, so good. The laundry is getting done, the bills are paid, the rebate forms are sent in, and I'm sitting in the AC, vegging.

My parents ([livejournal.com profile] pheon and [livejournal.com profile] pheontoo) stopped by earlier, to say hi and to see the house before it changes color again (if it does). I gather they like the color as well. I should have thought to show them the various colors we are considering in its place, but of course I did not. Mom found some neat soap - goat milk soap! The world is a strange but neat place.

I still have to go through my photos from yesterday and see if I want to post any. Failing to find energy for that.

With my new setup (and power cord hooked to the USB card), I can burn straight from the external hard drive to the DVD/CD burner. Which is nice to know. What's not nice is that shortly thereafter, my laptop did a spontaneous shutdown from heat. In an air-conditioned room. Oy. So, must keep that in mind, I suppose. (Speaking of AC, my parents pointed out hat I hadn't mentioned getting the second AC! This is so. Oops. I thought I had. Scott picked it up on Friday after I called him, because Fry's was having the sale for $300 again (although Dad, seeing the box, says it is a different brand). So we now have one for the computer room also. It has a flat top, unlike the first we bought, which means it was promptly pressed into service as a table as well. :)
