Assemble & Connect Kinda Day

Today I've been busy......went shopping for a few items I'v needed (wanted) and spent the rest of the day assembling and/or connecting everything, well almost everything.....

This is the nifty laundry sorter I got (on sale) from Container Store, and then while I was there, I've always wanted a second one of these for our walk-in shower

Now we each have our own (we use different kinds of bath products).

Last weekend (I believe) we bought a new Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (not the one with the hard drive included) and if you remember, I cursed up a blue streak trying to get it installed and then my dear son helped me long distance (Rudy's Daddy) and we (HE) was able to get me up and running.
Well, I have an external hard drive and I wanted to set it up on the Airport Extreme (but needed another USB2 Hub since I already have my printer set up and using the only USB2 port on the AE).

I'm using this one for my MacBook instead and using the one I was using for the AE

Too bad I can't get the damn external hard drive to be recognized by the AE (airport extreme).
I get way too frustrated and that means, put it away for another day and another try.
For now I'll continue to do my back ups directly from my MB instead of wirelessly through the AE.

Sounds like a very productive day!

Hi Debbie,

I appreciate the sympathy on the troubled non-smoking day I had yesterday. I'm truly amazed at your effort though and it seems to be paying off for you! My wife currently uses Chantix (called Champix in the United Kingdom) and she seems to be getting along well with it.

I'm glad you're enjoying spring and may I just thank you for stopping by Reformed Smoker today. I hope you picked up a personalised certificate!

RS.

Hi Debbie,

Well done you for enjoying your first six months of liberty!

I'm off Chantix now but I honestly believe I could not have quit smoking without them. I have some way to go before I'm where you are, but for the first time ever, I am confident that this time I will get there!

I like your idea about keeping track of grocery price-ups. I thought it would be interesting to note our prices for some of the items on your list to see how they compare on this side of the pond.

Enjoying your blog :-)

I'm over here drooling over your laundry sorter! I want one! Actually, I use to have one but it was always falling apart and we threw it away.

I just threw away my piece of junk laundry sorter last night! My hubby bought me my p.o.s. laundry sorter a few years ago, and I've been wrestling with the stupid thing ever since. I finally tore it apart piece by piece and threw it away! Yours looks so much better!

Yes, the pics of the landscaping are up... I've just been too worn out on Sundays to post my pics.

I love the laundry sorter. I really need one of those. I see a trip to the Container Store in my future.
Congrats on quiting smoking!
