Estrogen 1, Testosterone 0

I live and breathe estrogen in my house. My wife, my daughter, 2 female dogs, 1 female cat...the only testosterone in the house eminates from me and the other cat, but he hates me, so that kinda sucks...

-Sigh-

Not that this is a bad thing. But after spending pretty much all day today getting Kailyn's new room ready, the house feels 'girly-er' than ever. Sheets...curtains...'fluffy' stuff like a bean-bag chair covered with little hearts...furry little hearts. Lots of pastels...greens, pinks, blues... The highlight of the whole experience was being able to assemble a little $20 TV stand we got at K-mart. Black wood with gray supports. Man colors (-grunt- -grunt-).

Well, at least I got to do the 'manly' parts. Like...using a screwdriver to mount the curtain rods. And a hammer...

Heh...seriously, it was good to get it done. And right now our daughter is sleeping (um...hopefully sleeping) right now for the first night in her new bed. She was so excited about it. I hope she stays cool with it the whole night.

Next project is 're-fitting' Kailyn's old room for the boy on the way. Unfortunately, Stacey's kind of 'out' on things like airplanes, tanks, race cars...anything 'boyish,' so I'll have to intervene in a "Straight Eye for the Straight Guy" sort of way...LOL.

In other news, my Lexicon Omega desktop USB recording interface arrived yesterday. Pretty nifty device. 2 mic inputs (with preamps), MIDI in/out, 4 line/instrument inputs, SPDIF in/out, preamps...good software...Cubase LE and a Pantheon Reverb plug-in. Would be very nice to actually start using all this stuff. Now that I have the necessary interface, I have no excuse. I also ordered 6 dozen guitar picks since the last 6-dozen I ordered a few years ago have all disappeared (under couch cushions, car seats, etc.)

Now if I can just get all this HGTV-like stuff around the house done so I can do something manly like...start laying down tracks on my PC.

Well, at least there are no doilies in my house...
