New Camera!!!!!

Yay!!! Today my new camera arrived! Woot!

Unfortunately it came with two lithium ion batteries, both of which needed to be charged before I could actually use the camera (for TWO HUNDRED TEN MINUTES. What kind of crap is that?)

So I took pictures of the pieces and tried to read the manual...my brain doesn't read technical very well....

My brand new toy...

Wow. Your fancy schmancy camera has now put mine back in the "ghetto" category.

Sure, I have had the camera for 6 hours and 35 minutes and now I feel guilty.

Way to ruin it for me, Tasina.

(Just kidding!)

Glad you've gotten your new camera.

Although your pictures were pretty damn good already, so why you thought you needed a new one is beyond me.

Is that like me wanting an XBOX 360 Elite, even though my 360 works just fine?

Well, Kim, now you have something to look forward to...I will be snappin!

Gee, DA, it's like you wanting an Elite because while your 360 does good stuff, it also will do stuff like kill the guy behind the guy you were aiming at...the old camera and I have focus issues -- the old camera doesn't always take the pictures I really wanted it to take...

Or perhaps I am in fact a spoiled brat with a husband who adores me (plus he gets to use the camera too...).

Oh, and thanks! It's always great to hear people like my photos...

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
