This time, just like I promised

OK, so I've been dying for a DSLR for a long time. Being a Canon gal, I've been pining for a Canon 40D with a Canon EF-S 17-85mm IS USM lens. It's fast, it's durable, it's awesome. The only catch is that it's only 10.1 MP, and the next step up is 15.1 MP and it would cost the same amount for just the camera body as I'd get for camera body AND lens with the 40D.

But, I don't have that kind of cash to throw around, and I hate debt, so I don't have a DSLR. But my sister has one of the newer Canon Rebel DSLRs, and I got to play around with it and her ultra-wide angle lens on Thanksgiving.













And here are a couple that my sister took of me:





Doesn't my family look like fun?

Call of the wild

I'm going to be in the Houston area this holiday weekend, so expect a lovely recap when I get back!

Fun pre-turkey-day facts:

1) I went to work this morning with wet hair tied up in a bun and my boss said that it looked "cute." This means that I will definitely be coming to work with wet hair more often!

2) It seems that the mornings that I need to get to work early are the ones that the cats decide to vomit all over the place.

3) One of our nearby chicken friends is kind enough to come by and check on the chickens while we're away. What she doesn't know is that in return I'm knitting her one of the most awesome sets of fingerless mittens ever and giving her all of the eggs our gals lay while we're away.

4) As with any trip to see the family in Houston, I may be inebriated for most of the trip, so I may or may not have fun pictures to post. Let's hope I do!

5) I'm going to get to hang out with my sweet, adorable neice!

Y'all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

No one could care about your life that much

One of my friends just sent me an e-mail about plans for Thanksgiving. After we were done with our back and forth she sent me a link to find her on Twitter. Part of me was able to supress the compulsion to e-mail her back and tell her that no one could possibly care enough about what you ate for breakfast or how big of a dump you took this afternoon to not be able to wait and read it on your blog.

I had yogurt and Fiber One for breakfast, but still nothing to report this afternoon...
