It has been a while since I have "blogged".  I found myself very frustrated after class Tuesday night.  I left the lab portion of class with making little to no progress into the lab.  For whatever reason the computer I was working on did not want to seem to work.  I was receiving no blue or green squiggly lines (which I KNOW there should have been) and IntelliSense would not kick in.  Dr. Haines said it must have been a "hiccup" of VB on that machine and to try another computer.  So I moved computers and when I opened up my solution/project nothing would populate.  Needless to say...I gave up!  I was also frustrated overall in that I didn't really understand what we were doing...the last couple of weeks I have been struggling...especially with this whole concept of libraries and classes, etc.  I wish our book had some information on this because the powerpoints from class are not cutting it!  I think it is time to do a little research online and see what additional information I can find..something..anything that will help me understand a bit more.

On a brighter note...We had a wonderful weekend.  It was my birthday yesterday so my parents came down from Duluth for the weekend and we got to just hang out and relax (something that Kris and I haven't been able to do for a while seeing we have been working on the basement).  I haven't seen my parents since Christmas so it was wonderful to have them here.  We also had a bunch of other family over on Saturday including my niece and nephew.  They are getting so big!  They turn 1 in just a little over a month and I just can't believe how fast time has gone by.  Also, in mentioning the basement...It is DONE!!!  We finished up pretty much everything a couple weekends ago before my best friend and her husband came down for the weekend.  Then in the last couple of weekends we have been completing all the finishing touches; carpet, shelves, furnishings, etc.  IT IS GREAT!!!

Anyways..back to homework.  Just finished my reading and now off to work on my GUI and Use Case.  Then maybe I take another look at the Lab...maybe...
