troubles & new sparkles!


in my drunken haze saturday night i dropped my camera - it now won't focus (as you can see in the previous post) and it has this ugly black thing in the corner of every picture - its very allusive - changing sizes every picture!

wasn't worried at first - just get it fixed, right? nope. that will take weeks and an undisclosed amount of money. F***! i had no choice but to get a new camera - i kind of have a big photo opportunity coming up, ya know?

i really didnt know what to do. i've been eyeing this for MONTHS, but do i get something that nice when i have to use it immediately and have no idea how to use it? do i want that to be my sole camera? a back up point and shoot would be nice. all very frustrating. in the end my 'rents let me pick out whatever i wanted. i chose this point and shoot pictured below (ours is silver though). it was a really good deal, rated really well and will get me through until we can afford the digital SLR.

now that that is settled. i will tell you my other EXCITING news! my sister (well half - sister, but who cares?) emailed last week asking if i would want to wear one of her rings at the wedding. we've never met and she can't make it to the wedding so i was BEYOND excited and honored. the ring is beautiful - and arrived yesterday.. in this cute little box..

its antique (old), borrowed, and full of sapphires (blue) - AWESOME.... see??

its a little big, but the jewelers can put in a little temporary sizer so it will be perfect!! thanks lis!

Good choice on the camera. It's the one that Jason and I have and it works great! Takes wonderful photos and has lots of settings that you can use...indoors, outdoors, fireworks, beach etc. Hope it works well for you too!
