Yeah, that would be me.
It's also one of the reasons why I've vanished from the internet for more than a week.
AutoCAD. I'm teaching myself AutoCAD. I've installed the program, done my homework, and WOW, this program is a simply different kind of animal. Just WOW.
I've already worked on and finished my first project, which was very interesting. I was pleasantly pleased with my confidence in working with the program and applying what I've learned so far. And to work on a paid project, no less! Bonus! This definitely is a big career change.
So it's official - I now have a paying job as I continue to train myself, working from home with my lobster. Sweet! Now if I could just figure out what my working rate is going to be... ;)
Still need to check a ton of email, then I'm off to hit the books, and then to unwind knitting.

It's summer, and the kids get to go to bed late.
Like midnight late. Except the night they were playing on the Xbox with dad -they went to bed at 4AM.
Last night, around midnight, my son ran into my room, opened the door to my bathroom enough so that I can here him (while I'm showering), to let me know that something I've checked on the TV is about to begin. He knows the importance of telling me something I want to watch is about to begin, that checking the program in advance is the only way I get to watch anything nowadays. He says, "It's The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Mom."
Please read the first sentence again.
After catching my breath and getting over the awkward moment, I tell him it's OK, that I won't be watching tonight, that it's nothing important, that he can finish watching what he was enjoying.
God bless his innoncence.

Woohoo! What a great day to watch the launch of Discovery STS-121! Godspeed to the Crew!
I sorely missed not having my camera to shoot pictures with, specially with such great weather today. I'll keep a close eye on the scheduled fly-bys of the ISS, and then later of the ISS with the Shuttle docked to it. Thank goodness for my telescope. :)
Hope you're all having a fun-filled weekend!
