Val--Thanks. I had my other shower yesterday and it was even better than the last one. 
Got lots of lovely things, but now I have the big ticket items to buy..lol.
Dawn--That's sad about the cat. You try to do a nice thing and get crap for it, meanwhile, people are out there mistreating animals and get off with a slap on the wrist.
I am having some nesting going on, in that I'm bugging the crap out of David to get things done around the condo, and am always tidying up, etc.
Well, the reason I haven't been around much is b/c I still don't have a computer. It turns out I either have to spend $350 to get my laptop fixed, or buy a new one. I think I'll just buy a new one, so I have to get that done (among other things) this week, b/c I'm going crazy without my computer at home. Luckily my office is only 3 min from home, but it's still not so easy b/c it means I have to get dressed, etc to go there.
This weekend was super busy. Two college friends drove in from Minneapolis and Milwaukee to help co-host my baby shower along with my friend here. So Saturday was busy with them, and Friday I had a meltdown. Why? Well, the dishwasher hadn't worked since we hooked it up (it was old), and since I had my GFs coming in and would be doing a lot of cooking on Sat, I wanted a dishwasher that works--especially for after the baby arrives. So Weds night I went to Lowes and bought one. They said we had to have the old one unhooked and ready to go or they wouldn't haul it away. H came home really late Weds night, and didn't have the time or the tools to unhook it. So when Lowes called me Thurs am to tell me the delivery time, I told them they couldn't deliver it that day, to do it Friday instead. So H managed to get the old dishwasher unhooked on Thursday, but we soon discovered that if you run the kitchen tap, water leaks from the unhooked dishwasher line. The genius who installed it didn't put a separate shutoff valve. So I couldn't use my kitchen tap. If I needed cold water I had to get it out of the tub faucet. 
Our bathroom sink faucet hasn't had the cold water tap running since we moved in, so David's friend came over Friday morning to install the new bathroom faucet, and in the meantime, the new dishwasher was delivered but scratched a bit. David didn't want to pay full price for it, and called them up. He told me they didnt have another one in stock, so it would be a week. I was freaking out b/c I wanted my damn dishwasher NOW!! I had gone to all that trouble to get it, and he was messing up all my plans. So I called Lowes back (after a crying jag) and they said it was the panel they were ordering, not the whole dishwasher. So I could hook up and use the damaged one in the meantime. 
So that made me happy. But then David and his friend had to go back to work before they were finished with hooking up the dishwasher, and the bathroom sink faucet was torn out, but the new one not installed. So the only water supply was from the shower. His friend said he'd be back next week to finish the job!! I lost it and burst into tears. He felt terrible and said he was only kidding and that he'd be back after work that night to finish. And he did. I now have a perfect bathroom faucet and the dishwasher works fine. But bloody hell, was that day full of needless tears.
So after that episode I had to get myself together b/c I had a closing. Add to this that I have a nasty head cold that has me totally congested. It wasn't pretty.
