Technical Difficulty

I've been trying to get my Gypsy updated so that I can upload my Art Philosphy cart to it and after waiting for several hours 3 times in a row for it I didn't think it ever actually worked correctly.  Then today when I attached it to the cricut to cut something out it told me to cut with the cricut I needed to update my cricut!  So of course when I attach my cricut to the computer it tells me it detects the cricut but can't communicate with it!  I gotta get to work soon, so guess I'll have to wait til later this weekend to figure it out :(  I was going to cut out some cute things to use on my poster for the healthfair tomorrow.  I might still be able to get it done tonight if I go get a couple cartridges from my mom!
