New member with (too) many projects

After a long period of dark age (I played with Lego as I was a kid in the seventies), the Lego virus has been reactivated at the end of 2012, thanks to my two little daughters (5 and 7) who wanted Lego Friends for Christmas. I remembered all the models I bought and created as kid, and began to consult the web and discovered as well an astonishing AFOL (I didn’t know this term before) community as many quite impressive MOCs (a new term for me too). I first bought some SW sets, as a big fan of SW (I was 9 when 'A new hope' was in theaters). But my daughters were frustrated to not have the possibility to play with toys I considered as collectibles rather than support to game. For myself and for my daughters I have therefore envisaged at the beginning of 2013 to create a Lego town for hosting the Friends figurines, and especially buildings that were more realistic and complete than the official Friends sets. Frustrated to not having bought the first Modular Buildings (CC, MS and GC), I bought all the others, modified some of them and used bricks for original MOCs. The challenge was to create playable buildings by my daughters (currently 6 and 8). I also downloaded LDD, BrickStore and other related tools, created an account at BL, and I’m now proud to belong to the AFOL community. I'm going to present in the City forum my first creation (one out of at least 6 other ones) and I also have the project to motorize a Technic car. The virus is now well implanted. My daughters are delighted, but my wife is desperate, especially concerning the budget ..

I'm always trying to convince me that if I'm happy (here by building Lego), my wife will be happy too
