Lucky #13

All of these are symbols of luck.



But I don't need luck when I have you...


Happy Anniversary S!




LUCKY #13!

You are my Ying...

We're like two peas in a pod you & I.

You like seafood; it makes me gag.

You love ALL sports; I barely know what's a field goal.

You agonize over bird poop; I feed the little crappers.

You like AI's Adam; I think he's lame.

You would be happy with hamburger and potatoes everyday; I like variety.

You play poker; I play bedazzle.

You only read the sports; I read front to back. Except the sports.

You are early morning; I'm late night.

You wash clothes; I don't.

You like home style; I like extra pulp.

Hey! I didn't say we were in the same pod!

Still you're the ying to my yang and together we're perfect.


Happy Anniversary my love!

(This post is dedicated to my husband of 12 years...and counting!)

Calling all shutterbugs!

I need your help! Yesterday I mentioned that our anniversary is this week and S has asked me several times what gift I want.

My answers have varied from "Nothing." to "Just more years with you." but he continues looking for the perfect gift for me.

He's incredibly sweet like that.

Sometimes.

Seriously though, I don't really want for anything. Sure I'd like to have my kitchen remodeled, or a deck along the back of the house and maybe some new summer clothes. Hmmmm....maybe I DO want for stuff.

Nah, really these are things that are in the plans anyway but us being us, we'll save up for those big purchases and I have no doubt that I'll get some new clothes (and sandals!) before long.

Anyway, another thing I've been talking about wanting is a nice, new fancy-schmancy camera. We looked at one near Christmas but it makes me cringe to think of spending $500+ on a camera.

You know I'm frugal.

S found a package deal in the Best Buy ad this week for a Sony A300K D-SLR with 18-70mm Lens, Sony 75-300mm telephoto lens and a Lowepro all-weather DSLR bag. While the price still seems high to me, it also seems like a good starter package because I get two lenses and a bag.



Here's the issue:

I have no freakin' clue what I'm looking at.

Truly.

This is where you shutterbugs come in. I need help deciding!

I don't want to buy something in this price range that I won't like, or can't use. I plan on googling to see if I can find some reviews but I'd like to get your opinions too.

S says I'm worth it, but is this camera worth it too?
