No photos yet, sorry... still dealing with computer stuff. I just got a pocket pc phone (which is SO fun and cool) but I don't know about keeping the internet on it - slow...

Anyway, I got a job for a real estate company in Tijeras where I live! It's within walking distance. I'm psyched. To check out our website, go to www.albuquerque-fine-homes.com. I love the company - "A technology company that sells real estate". I begin training more this week and will begin in earnest within a couple weeks! Exciting, overwhelming, yea!

Also, I am finally making a legal name change. Yes, for those of you who've known me for 16 years as "Dia", it's finally for real now. My name will be Dia Julie Ann Cordova-Hahn. On my business cards it is Dia Cordova-Hahn (I thought it would be best in this area to combine our last names, given the variety of clientele). I like the sound of it. Plus Julie Ann is still in there.
Those are my biggest pieces of late breaking news. More to come (sometime!)...

Our computer guy and our amazing luck...

Even though Tim and I recently took an actual two-day vacation over labor day weekend, do not expect any photos on this blogspot for awhile. Our laptop took a dive about a week ago (took it to our computer guy who is referring it on to a "laptop specialist"). Our computer guy - I love having a "computer guy", by the way - this morning said that the situation with our laptop is "sad". He spoke of it in tender terms, the way he might speak of a dying dog. I knew it was a bad situation when I heard that tone of voice. He thinks the motherboard if fried. I don't totally get what a motherboard is, but I'm assuming it is what makes the computer run. It just makes me think of Star Trek or Star Wars for some reason.
But the REAL lucky part of this is that when I went on our desktop computer yesterday to make myself a resume for real estate, something was WRONG. Not just a little wrong, but wrong enough that I had to take the CPU to our computer guy, which is why I was there this morning. I hadn't seen our computer guy for well over a year, and although I like him thoroughly, I did not expect to see so much of him at this time.
And so, besides the potential of ALL of our data and photos and etc being lost forever (knock on wood), we are literally computer-less. Try that for a week or two. It's interesting. Maybe Tim and I just rely on ours too heavily. Our computer guy (his name is Tom and he wears a lot of tye-dye) pathetically lent us his seven-year-old daughter's old laptop (she has something better now and can't be bothered with the slowness of this one). We'll be trying that out tomorrow. For now it has been a lot of waiting in line at the library, unable to do business due to the throngs of kids (and adults!) who sit on-line at length playing video games! C'est la vie!

Boring Blog, no updates!

Whew! Following two weeks of working over 60 hours/week in the middle of nowhere on a thriller/horror/drama/scifi? film, and then one week of literally reviewing and studying for my real estate exam, I would say I'm pooped, but for some reason I'm just not! Oh yeah, all that caffeine today...
Well I'm pretty jazzed because today I passed my national and state real estate licensing exams "with flying colors". No more studying! I did it!!!
Not much else to say. That pretty much sums up my life anyway: work and studying. Now I'm (hopefully just temporarily) unemployed and have no homework. Yikes!! It's okay, I can handle it.
