I FINALLY got my camera!!!

For YEARS I have been absolutely lusting over the Canon digital SLR's. Every year around Christmas time I would linger too long in the photo department and then finally pick one up and start turning knobs, changing settings and then taking pictures like I was some professional photographer. Pretty sweet. I'd have all kindsa fantastic pictures! There'd be pictures of other cameras, strange pictures of the floor, some dumb sales assistant picking his nose, a picture of a lady that had the BIGGEST ass I'd ever seen....man there were some great pictures! (I've added some pictures I've taken with it now that I've got it!)
This went on for about seven years. I just couldn't ever bring myself to spend that kinda money on a camera. Even though I'm a self proclaimed picture whore, there's better places the money needed to go.
On my birthday this year, my husband and I were walking around the store and of course, there I was all being a dolt with this totally awesome camera and he said just go ahead and get it. He said it was ok! BUT, my mom like sensibility kicked in.....Christmas was too close and having two kids, I didn't wanna spend the money on myself.
Fast forward to Christmas time (a whole month later). I went in the store where I generally stalk this camera and even went as far as to getting a sales assistant to get the camera out for me and I walked around with it all smug and shit thinking "hey, check me out, I'm gettin' my camera!", but when it came to checking out.....I chickened out. It was just SO much money for something that was for me and me alone and I already had a pretty good point and shoot. UGH! I was driving myslef nuts over a stupid camera!
Well, tax return time is here and I will no longer be stalking the camera aisle, taking pictures.....I GOT MY CAMERA! So, sorry Mr. Sales Assistant, you're gonna have to find someone else to prey on. Sorry Mrs. Hugest Ass EVER, someone else will have to be taking a picture of that bodacious booty of yours whilst your yelling at your snotty kids. Sorry Mr. Floor, your days have came and gone. Besides, they cleaned you and you were a little to new looking for me anyhow. Sorry to all of you. I've got my camera FINALLY.....now I just gotta figure out how to use the damn thing!

June 28 - I Heart Faces Pet Entry

I know, I know....it's be FOREVER since I last posted, but life has majorly gotten in the way. Lots and lots of ups and downs....well mostly downs, but who am I to complain? ....and I'm totally not about to be a Debbie Downer and start whinin '..... that'll come later...I promise.....I'm doin ' this here post ' cuz I wanna have an awesome picture of our ol ' Wheezy Lee and Vin to be posted on the I Heart Faces Blog . It's my first time and Lord knows I probably ain't gonna get it right the first 1,600 times I try, but I'm gonna give it a go anyhow.

FML

This whole tryin' to be positive shit ain't workin' today.....or for the past few days as a matter of fact. I'm tired. My mind hasn't absorbed so much learnin' since I was like.....I dunno.....youngish. You know what learnin' overkill does to me? Shuts me down.....fucks me up. All this thinkin' straight at the new job ain't lettin' me think straight anywhere else. I get home and my brain turns to fondue. I'm so, so, so tired. On top of this tired shit, my weekends are PACKED...and now I have no money for these packed weekends. Not only did I take a HUGE pay cut, but Jeremy's job just decided that his position is no longer needed....so.....they've put him back to what he did when he first started workin' there three years ago and MAJORLY cut his pay. MAJORLY. When the fuck does this stop? I've said over and over.....good things come to good people. What'd I do that ain't good????? I even gave that chick standin...

East Atlanta Strut 2010

I've been sewin' my fingers off tryin' to get ready for the East Atlanta Strut . It was the first show I had ever done and it was a BLAST! Bein' used to your standard kinda craft shows, you know the ones.....wood cut into silly stuff, marsh mellow guns, lace and potpourri, you can imagine my excitement when I was accepted to do the Strut, which ain't your mama's craft show. After three years, I've decided to give it a go again. I've really focused on my bears since that's what I really enjoy makin' and it's what everyone seemed to like best. You definitely won't find anything else like 'em out there! They're all sad lookin' and junk.....and people wanna hug 'em when they see 'em. I started sewin' these guys three years ago and after readin' an article in a magazine about a man that went to war, was burned badly while there and came home to his finance, married her and made babies with her despite all his s...
