Thermalgal’s Temperate Mumblings

Boxing Day?

Not that my family even knows what Boxing Day is… but that is today. The downstairs is a wasteland of empty boxes. I didn’t take a picture before all the gifts were unwrapped and now I have a naked tree. Oh well, a naked tree is better than no tree.My computer didn’t come with speakers since I upgraded to a flat panel monitor (at least I think that is the reason), so DH gave me the pair from his desktop. Since he now has his laptop he doesn’t really need them. So, I have the two stereo ones and one at my foot (forgot what that one was called). I think I’ve assembled and installed all the gifts so far. The last thing was connecting the new printer to the new computer. I even tried out the direct print from my camera. I have pictures of Pushkin everywhere.Today’s plan is to start working on the Christmas wave 2 gifts and to make ice cream on the new machine. I also have to figure out how to get a phone line to the new DVR so we can get that all working. I really like this new keyboard. For the past 4 1/2 years I’ve been living with the tiny keyboard that comes with the iMac. Using this Dell keyboard feels nice and spacious.
