Early Christmas

So, Jer... being the doll that he is... gave me my Christmas gift early this year. Mostly cause I had family in town for Thanksgiving. :) You see, back in the day when digital cameras where new and film cameras were still in mild usage I bought this camera....

It has gotten a LOT of use. It's nearly the same age as my marriage. It has been dropped, stepped on, dripped on, and I don't even remember all of the cruel and unusual punishments it has been through simply by being my camera.

It is scratched up, banged up, and the protective shudder that is supposed to close when it is turned off sticks sometimes.

This:
Is my new camera (picture taken with the old camera). It has oodles of doo dads, but is still easy to use!!!! I'm in heaven... just ask my family... over Thanksgiving I took a LOAD of pictures just to "play" with it. :)

Thank You Jer!!!

I can't find my camera!!! I think I'm going to die.

Seriously! can't find the thing.

I thought it was in my purse. Nope.
Not by my computer either.....

Please let it show up in an uber odvious place that Jer thinks up when he gets home!

Gah!

What is it about a parent sitting or laying on the floor that is a instant kid magnet? And same thing with cameras... as soon as a parent picks one up it's instantly "Mom/Dad can I see?" or "Take a picture of me!" lol I mean... REALLY! ... I often wonder what my kids would think if I pulled out my old 35mm camera. I mean, goodness! you can't even see the picture you just took. And heaven forbid that you actually have to wait a WHOLE hour (or *gulp* a WHOLE day) to see the pictures!

I made the "mistake" today of doing both, I picked up the camera and sat on the floor. Instantly I was a jungle gym! LOL
