And now, for something totally different.

Last week, I mentioned that I had harangued Max until he just placed a small camera in the cart on Amazon for me. It came in today!!! I was so darned excited, I could hardly wait.

I went out to lunch with my sister and some other friends (at Pepperjax, because it's the BEST place EVAR!) and I was hoping that the Amazon box would be at my back door by the time she got there, because when it comes to fun things in packages, I get a little giddy. Alas, it wasn't there.

But, when she pulled in my driveway to drop me off, I saw the box with its happy little smile waiting for me. I couldn't open it, though ... Leica was bouncing at the back door, waiting for me to let her outside. Then I hauled it upstairs and nearly wet my own pants trying to get everything up the steps and me into the bathroom.

I checked Facebook and my email when I got into the study and found a couple of things that needed to be answered right away, and I had to call my brother to figure out the weekend and then call the hotel in Webster City for reservations and then a friend called and then I had to gather laundry for the evening (Max does laundry, but only what is in the basket).

So, I waited and waited and waited and waited to open the box and play with the new camera. FINALLY!

Now, the funniest thing about my camera demand is that Max has a perfectly good camera for me. In fact, it's a camera that most people would yearn for. You would think I would be happy. But, I just couldn't do it. It was too much! So ... I got my new camera. I DID read that it was about the size of a deck of cards. Ummm ... yup! *giggle*



The camera I COULD be using and the camera I prefer to use ... all in one shot. Because I'm the biggest goofball ever.
