Well, my Q-bits delivery arrived this afternoon. Mom initially stacked them in the garage where I usually park my car, and I moved them into the house when I got home from work. It's a lot of stuff! A. Lot. I'm thinking maybe I went a wee bit too far, trying to build this really cool wall unit in my room using only Q-bits. We have fourteen boxes of Q-bits - 5 cubes with drawers, 4 plain cubes, 4 cubes with a door, and a TV stand - to put together. Fourteen. Yikes! Mom told me the UPS lady even commented on it: "Did you mean to buy so many?"

Well, we're glad they came near the end of the week, because now we can work on them all weekend. Yeah. I'm thrilled, too! Still, it'll be nice to finally get it all done, and get all my stuff organized. I'm getting a bit tired of living out of boxes and having stuff sitting on the floor!

So, really, I am excited about this. It's going to be a lot of hard work, I know, but in the end, it'll be worth it!
