I just finished watching the HBO special about the Twin Towers. A very well done tribute. I cried through most of it. Listening to the messages left on people's machines was just so horrible.. I couldn't even imagine the pain the family members must be feeling... I just remember how scared I was when I didn't know where my brother was or if he was safe.

I hope everyone tonight watches the HBO special at 9pm, "In Memoriam:New York City". There is another extremely moving article written about the Towers from the NY Times. Read about it here.

I cleaned Moira's room today - this kid has a LOT of stuff. It was so bad that I couldn't make her do it - she would have had no idea where to start. I carted out 1 1/2 garbage bags of little crappy bits (broken toys, junk papers, tattered books, etc). My kid is a pack rat! Her room looks SO much nicer now. She is able to actually SIT at her desk. She is playing on her computer now. I figure next year - Olivia will get Moira's computer (Pentium 166 but great for the kiddie games like Reader Rabbit, etc) and we will buy her a new monitor. Moira will get our current system and we get a new one! Wheeeee! I am already debating what to get - laptop or tower. I do have a scanner albeit 600 dpi but it works. If I get a laptop, I would have to get a docking station for it and that seems like a pain in the ass. I think I will just get a tower with a nice 17 LCD :::rubbing hands gleefully::: and I am hoping we will have high speed access in our area! Well - I have to do some more work around the house. Paul is painting in our room and it's looking really good! I am so excited that my bedroom will be SO nice! YAY!
