{ Bits & Pieces }

Just random stuff ‘cuz I haven’t been posting for a few days. First to answer Lisa, I’ve got a Canon Rebel, not the new fancy schmancy XT model because unfortunately I got mine about 2 months or so before the new model came out. I do LOVE it though and I love it even MORE when I’ve got a great lens attached to it. The one that comes with it was great too, just not AS great as the new one. :) I’m sure I’ll still use it plenty though for purposes the new one just won’t serve. Someone had also asked how much this new fancy lens costs and it was just $75 from b & h photo. Shipping was only like $4 and I should have it by Wednesday! Woo hoo!

I DID order my flight tickets for the Digital Scrapbooking convention Friday too. I should be arriving about the same time as Dawn I believe and hopefully some kind soul will be able to pick us up and get us to the airport. :)

Been working on my sprinkler system with my dad. He’s the BEST! We’ve got 2 zones out of 4 working and I could just sit on my porch and watch the sprinklers all night. We’ve had SUCH a dry summer here (I know, not really what those of you in Florida want to hear us complain about right?) but it’s taken a beating on my lawn. Hopefully we can get another zone or 2 working tonight and get them on a timer so I can water like crazy over the next week. Only problem is we’ll have to start mowing twice a week again but give me a headphone set and my favorite songs loaded to my mp3 player and I’ll be all set. :)

Feeling a little guilty on the ‘neat’ front. This entry has gotten a little lengthy to get into it at this point as I’m sure anyone reading has tuned out by now, not to mention myself if I ever go back down the road to read any of this. LOL In a nutshell I’m still trying to find a balance of being able to spend time with ALL the nieces and nephews while there are 2 of them that seem to ‘need’ my time much more than the others. Meanwhile I’m feeling really behind on the stuff I normally do when I’m NOT with the neats. Friends that I haven’t been able to help out like I should, creative stuff that I love doing but haven’t had the time for, a HOUSE that needs cleaning and yard work that needs to be done. It never ends. Oh well, probably a good topic for my next entry. So much to talk about, so little time. :)
