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?

What The ________? Wednesday

I really, really like this post theme. It's so vague that it can be about anything. The last two times I've used it so that I could post weird pictures of first my Lil Sis and then me. But this time it's because I need your help.

As in What The ___ should I be blogging about? Seriously let me know what you want to read about. More about me and the fam, or about my political views or more crazy pictures. Would you rather see posts about the kids or recipe posts?

More shots of my unorganized house?
More posts about my CVS savings? No, wait you can find that here.
More about my reality tv addiction?
More about my sock collection?
More Life Lessons?
More guest bloggers?

I really, really need to know what you want to see more of. Some days I'm just blank as to what to blog about...not that I don't have things to say but sometimes it's best NOT to say them ya' know.

For example on Monday my post was only like 6 words. I could have elaborated but who really wants to hear how miserable I was? Okay so you're reading about that now. Whatev.

Come on guys...tell me, What The ____? should I be blogging about??
