So a week ago someone broke into my car, sitting in my driveway, on a dead end street off of another dead end street out in the middle of West Goddamn Virginia. They got my iPod Nano, the one from Jat inscribed “music for the woman who makes my heart sing”. It’s 5 years old, but I love it, lots of sentimental value. They also got my Garmin Nuvi out of my glovebox.
Jat spent a good part of the day in “I told you so” land. Which is fine, because he did. I just never thought I needed to lock my car doors out in the goddamn boonies for fuck’s sake. The cop who came to take the report says this happens all the time around here. We live in what’s considered an affluent area to these WV folks. To me it’s middle class, but whatever, I guess it’s tempting enough for asshole douchebag thieves. So yeah, I was pissed off. Still am.
But Jat ordered me a new Nano immediately. It’s purple and shiny and has all kinds of crazy features. It takes video, it has an accelerometer in it so I can shake it to shuffle randomly to a new song and it has games on it, a pedometer and all sorts of wackass shit. It’s a nifty little device and I’ve been having fun with it. Jat also got this one engraved with “music for the woman who rocks my world”. He’s awesome.
In more ‘wow my husband rocks’ news, he’s also building me a new computer, a 64 bit system, so I can more easily use all my digital and 3D graphics apps that I use for school. Right now it’s a nightmare trying to work in these programs because my laptop just can’t handle everything I need it to.
I’ve been reading The E-Myth lately. Holy shit, talk about eye-opening. I now know what went wrong with the glass business and why my yarn business would’ve gone the same way if I hadn’t picked up this book. It’s amazing. I’m in the process now of incorporating the ideas and suggestions in the book to build a stronger business. Fuck yeah.
