Well I am back from the land of dial-up:)
The last few days have been an unplugged whirlwind full of food, family and fun… Oh and Black Friday and Gray Saturday shopping 😉
I am recovering nicely from my shopping regimen as well as my blog, computer AND CAMERA withdrawals.
YES, I said camera. Imagine my HORROR when I realized an hour into my drive to Thanksgiving Dinner that I–Mrs. Shutterbug– FORGOT my Nikon at HOME!!! I seriously felt ill.
I spent the next 20 minutes trying to determine if I could convince Puddie to go back and get it. But, considering that we still had to make all of our dishes when we got there, I figured the fam (including Puddie) would likely frown upon such a thing.
So I took a deep breath and told myself to pull my big girl panties up and get over it. After all, the holidays are about much more than RAW SLR images : /
I was captivated.
But that was nothin’ compared to watchin’ her enjoy them herself (and snappin’ a few pics myself with the Kodak) 🙂
And while we had a fantastic time and the sky did not fall due to a forgotten Nikon–you better bet your sweet bippy that a certain SLR will be padlocked around my neck come Christmas time 🙂
