Problems and more problems with the computer in the gallery.  I’m ready to pull my hair out (no wait, I need that for my dates.)  Everything worked for two weeks just fine and then for some reason it stopped working three days ago.  So I bought a new cable and it worked for about 3 hours then quit.  So over the weekend I took it in to the computer shop (where, of course, it worked fine) then took it back to the gallery and it did not work.  So I called the TV company to see if that was the problem.  After 2 hours on the phone with them, it was clear that they couldn’t help.  The next day, I was pulling out the cable to try the TV with a different computer (in case that was the problem) and miracle of miracles the thing suddenly worked!  ARRGH.

Today it did not work at ALL.  So I almost had a break down, took it in to the computer shop again, managed not to cry, left it with them all day, helped set up for the Her Shorts International Women’s Video Festival, went back and it still didn’t work, got Mexican food next door (it was 2pm and I was starving…), went to the mall to get the ATT wireless card for the webcam, went back and…… it works!!  Hurray.  Of course, I want to check it out tomorrow morning to see if it works in the gallery.  If it doesn’t, I think I will have a nervous breakdown (kidding, I’m really very level headed but just a tiny bit stressed right now.)

Phew!  Can I go home now?  No really, I’m super excited to meet Alan tonight, and then go on our dates.  I spent the whole day yesterday cleaning.  The house is cleaner than when I got here. 

Then I had friends over for a dinner and good bye party.  We had a total girl evening.  Jess brought over stuff for facial waxing, and did my brows and lips.  Bye bye ugly little hairs.  She says they’re not noticeable, but I notice them. 

BEFORE                                          AFTER 

And they helped me pick out outfits and jewelry.  Jess lent me some of hers.  It was fun.

I sure am going to miss those girls!!
