Today is SO my day!

The taxes worked out better than hoped, and we got an awesome return which deposited today! I took some of it to reinvest in the business, so I just did a little retail electronics therapy. I now have a new small point-and-shoot HD video camera to practice with, just in time for the cruise.

And, I also now have an additional external firewire harddrive for my laptop, so I can edit on the go too.

And then on the way home, I decided to stop for lunch at Panda Express and ended up with a free meal! They were doing a taste test for a new product, and I just had to provide my phone number so they can call me in the next day and ask what I thought. And, it's goooooooooood too. They're trying out a "To Go" item that is a thin wrap stuffed with fried rice, veggies, and orange chicken. It's actually quite yummy.

So, yeah. New camera and free lunch! Go me!!!

(This greatly helps, seeing as I've been in a grief depression all week after spending nearly 10 nights sleeping in a room with my mother's cremains.)

I am about to make a very very rare comment.

I'm hungry. I could seriously go for a good burger right now. Preferably one from a no-name greasy spoon joint that's char-grilled to perfection.

Ya, I know. I figured someone would be a mean ol jerk and quote that seriously out of context.

I am home. 11 interviews in a day-and-a-half. There appears to be some interest and I have an offer, but I plan to turn it down. Long story, but the offer is the bare minimum commitment on their end and maximum risk on my end, which isn't a match in my book. Plus, other agencies expressed some significant interest and were offering a hell of a lot more.

The Activia commercials make me giggle. I am sad, though, at Jamie Leigh doing commercials for old-people stuff, though.
