Quick Note

Okay, I know it has been awhile since I posted...and I really do have a lot to write about, but it is one of those things that I have soooo much to say that I am not saying anything. So I plan on sitting down and posting everything very soon. Maybe even this weekend...so here is what to come...

1) The trip to New York (AWESOME!)
2) Teaching Update (And the job search continues)
3) Chickens and Eggs...Lots and lots of eggs
4) The Joys of Chicken discovering how to jump a 6 foot fence
5) Languages are fun! (Teaching myself Latin and refreshing once known Spanish)
6) The Ongoing Saga of DH and his Drinking...this time he has got to stop

And I am sure there is even more that my allergy addled brain can't think of right now...so I will hopefully go get some sleep and then get some of this down soon...

Later,
Em

Working=New Toy!!!

I got a new camera!!!! A digital SLR! For those non-photographers those are the big cameras with changeable lens. DH and I are going to New York City tomorrow and since he had dropped my digital point and shoot (P&S) a few months ago, he told me I could get a new digital camera for the trip.

SO I go to the store and call him like this is how much the P&S ones are...and he response is "Oh, I thought you wanted the SLR digital."

At which I quickly responded, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I CAN GET ONE OF THOSE!!!"

"Well, it doesn't make since to get something lesser if you want the SLR."

"Yeah, I do want the SLR but it is 3 or 4 times more expensive."

"Yeah, well, Happy 'You got a f^@&in job'!"

So a few hundred dollars later, I have a digital SLR! And now I can have all the control I want AND be able to see if I got the shot without waiting for film!

Now if only I can figure out how to post the damn pics! :)
