New computer and schoolroom…
This past weekend I got a really good deal on an Apple eMac for my wife and son. It’s not the latest greatest but it’ll serve their needs quite well. It’s a bit older 700Mhz G4 with 384MB RAM and a 40GB HDD. Nothing special but hard to pass up at $350. I added an Airport card so I wouldn’t have to run a network line through the attic. A nightmare in itself, especially in summer. This makes our second Mac after my iBook. I was looking for another iBook for them but when this came along I had to grab it.
They needed a computer for the school room that Shannon is working on right now. She’s in the process of painting it. She’s got the basecoat down, the most bright yellow I’ve ever seen, and hasn’t decided on the theme but I’m sure it’ll be something like she did in Dakota’s room. On that front it looks like she may have another contract in the works to paint two more kids’ rooms. So right now she has a ‘space’ room, another ‘jungle’ room, and an ‘ocean’ room in the works. It may turn into a nice side business.
The other nice thing about the new school room is I get my office back. We had just finished decorating it when my sis moved in and we had to combine the schoolroom and office. I quickly got crowded out under the stacks and stacks of schoolbooks. I’ve got the decor ready to go once they move out again and it’ll be all mine. I may even let Shannon experiment with some sort of city theme in there. She needs the examples for her portfolio.
