I feel like such a grown up now. WooHoo!!!! AND I had such a good day yesterday.
Started out with a couple of pretty good phone calls. Had another job interview. A pretty flippin' amazing job interveiw. I'm not putting any REAL stock in it, but it was great to have the conversation. I miss talking about consumers, marketing, product placement, retail execution, demographics - you know normal stuff. Well, normal for me.
Anyway...no matter what I had the opportunity to have that conversation and I really enjoyed it. Went into "The City" for a wonderful, relaxing lunch. PERFECT!!! And after that I ran some errands that ended up taking most of the afternoon. Mucho laughter came with that adventure. Seriously....if I laugh it ALWAYS makes everything else easier to deal with. Yesterday, I was a dealin' fool.
Got home and decided it was time to bite the bullet and install the sound card _Jon had sent me. Yep, that's right. I was goin' in.....
Lucky for me T1G was here to oversee the process. Well, that and I had Carmen on speed dial. After figuring out how to open the damned tower (they just keep changing things on me) it was evident that I really didn't know WTF I was doing.
Poor Carmen. How she even understood a damned thing we were saying is beyond me. We were bickerin' and laughing so hard *I* couldn't understand us. But she pushed through the chaos and we got everything up and running. Sissy had sent me speakers last year for my birthday so we (ok HE) got those plugged in and Voila! I got sound!
I can finally watch all those videos y'all post and listen to the songs you link or the podcasts that are out there!! I've even set up my Yahoo! Launchcast. Of course my taste in music will make anyone else in the house crazy, but I'm all in my happy place. Finally - I'm bloggin' and singin' and well, just having a grand ole time!!

I'm glad you are up and running.
