We took the plunge and plopped down the cash for the kayaks. Hopefully they will be in this week. Actually, they are in, but we are getting them outfitted with fishing rod holders, so we are waiting on that. No rush, there is still ice on the lake.

Jaime got a stomach bug this weekend, and spent most of Sunday sick. So that was no fun for her, especially since she is starting off her vacation week. Today she seemed to improve and I am sure she will be back to normal by tomorrow. She has a lot of things planned for the week so I am sure that she wants to not be puking so she can get them done.

It has been fairly nice outside, so I have been walking instead of sweating in the hot gym. It has been nice. It is the time of year when it is still cool enough outside that I want to walk. I go for about an hour, probably about 3-4 miles around Newport.

Work has been busy as usual. I have been finishing up a few projects, so it is nice to see some stuff come to fruition. I still have more work than I can possibly do, which does keep me busy. Sometimes I feel like I could lock myself in the office for about a year and not run out of things to work on!

I have a new personal finance program I am using. Right now I am entering all my transactions from 2007, then for 2008. I used Microsoft Money years ago, and that worked pretty well for me, but since I pretty much switched to Linux exclusively, I haven't used anything. I have been using Gnucash, which seems to be a little more like Quicken. I haven't gotten too deep into it yet, but I think it will meet my needs. However, it does take time to get things set up the way I want. So I am plugging through it little by little.

I also want to continue to get caught up on going through my pictures. That is also a never-ending process.

To distract me from these things, I have been addicted to the following game:
