I’m embarrassed to admit something: I haven’t updated my laptop in a year. Yes. A whole year. That’s because I would try to do the normal, daily work things on it and I could function. I haven’t updated to the newest email for work. My iTunes was frigging ANCIENT and my version of Safari and Firefox would no longer let me watch any videos on Hulu because it was so badly dated. So this weekend, after learning how to do it myself and not having to take it into the computer services division at work (have I mentioned that I don’t own my own laptop except for the one I got when doing the giveaway and that basically my children have absconded with it to their loft upstairs and that I rarely see it?) I finally got an upgrade.

Beyonce’s song about upgrading was in my head.

I was giddy with joy.

It occurred to me that I might think about trying to do some videos and maybe a vlog for my Beauty Hacks series for my articles at BlogHer (stay tuned, I have an article to get published this week!).

Me! Finally, in this century! With all the other geeks!

It was so exciting that I got online and did one.

And it ended up looking like something that could be used for a tampon commercial.

I deleted it.

I will never publish that sucker.

And now, if you don’t mind, I’m going to go back to living in the dark ages where I chisel messages into rocks.

The messages are not about tampons. So shut up, y’all.
