Am I mining or just running up my electric bill?

Not sure if my expectations are just too high or if I might not have configured something correctly.  I'm using GUIMiner along with two Gigabyte HD7970 GPU's.  I'm setup for Solo mining.  My Bitcoin-QT is synced and it looks like the OpenCL stuff is connected correctly as GUIMiner says it's mining.  I'm averaging about 1GH/s, but have not seen any transactions or BTC come through yet in the Bitcoin-QT app.  Even when I set the display to show nanoBTC or microBTC, I don't see anything.  I've been running the rig 24/7 for the last week.  Should I be seeing something?  How can I tell if I'm actually mining?  The column under Accepted shows about 56K and (300+).  Does that mean it's working and I just need to be patient?  Do I need to switch to a different miner?  Any good information, including links to other topics would be great or point me where I need to do my research.  Specs of my rig below.

Single AMD FX1 Black series 3.6GHz quad core CPU
8GB RAM
Samsung Pro 128GB SSD
Gigabyte AMD mobo
2 x Gigabyte HD 7970 GPU's
