and what a week
it's true that vacation goes by way too fast. i have years of proof (from kindergarten on). tomorrow i have to start waking up early again. call me crazy, but waking up between 7:30 and 8:30 suits me just fine. i am happy school doesn't start that late, especially since some of my students are much more manageable when they are half asleep. more than that...think about what time i'd get home from work! yuck. i'll take leaving the house at 6:45 and getting home by 4 any day over not getting out of work til 5.
i've had a nice spring break though...probably accomplished much more than usual in some ways, but also much less than usual in others. over break i visited my bro and his fam in philly, paid for a honeymoon, bought accessories for my camera, attended a bonfire, chatted with 2 friends in need of encouraging (i should do that more), hung out with my man, had a lovely easter dinner, had an exploding dinner, and i FINALLY bought a small point and shoot digital camera.
you may be wondering why i was so specific on the genre of camera i bought. well...for about a year and a half i have felt the need for a small camera (i love my slr, but it is so bulky for just your everyday snapshots). almost a year ago now, my mom gave me money to buy said camera...i have no idea what that money actually got spent on, but i am going to pretend that the money i spent today on the camera and accessories for my nikon was cushioned by it. i did research upon research upon research...never finding a camera that i knew i would be happy with. this "lack of purchase" was even brought up as a reason why george wasn't ready back in the fall to say i was his one and only love. :) i might have to write a blog about that one. ;) i would find a camera i thought was "the one" and would inevitably find 3 things about it i hated. do you know how hard it is to find a digital camera with a viewfinder these days? ridiculous! i would find the camera i wanted, and take a trip to purchase it, only to find they don't sell it in the stores around here, or to find it no longer exists, or to find it is really much crappier than i thought. who in their right mind thinks waiting half a second for the shutter to react is a good thing? i don't know. anyway, as i was purchasing my flash and battery for my slr, i decided to just take the plunge and buy one...it's not like it's a lifetime commitment! i went with the very last camera in stock that had a viewfinder and a decent range, the Canon Powershot 1100IS. They don't make it anymore but all who owned it loved it. Here's to many years of little or no regret (I hope) :/
