Ack!
Aug 31, 2007 We did it. We put ourselves in debt, for a fancy piece of equipment. Wahoo!
It's okay, though, because it was a GREAT deal. (It helps if I repeat this to myself. A lot.) I'm sure we'll be very happy with our new camera. We can take pictures of ourselves riding off into the sunset while we embark on part II of our lives -- After the Camera: the Journey Begins.
You can come if you want. There WILL be cake.
Tough choice.
Aug 28, 2007 I came across a really, really good deal on the camera I want. I can even use a credit card, and make payments. And I REALLY want it. But, it's super spendy. And, I don't want to be under that debt. And what with birthdays and holidays coming up....
But BIRTHDAYS and HOLIDAYS are coming up, what better time to have a great, shiny, new, kick-ass camera?
Should we, or shouldn't we? Is it a good investment, or an unnecessary expense?
I'm. So. Conflicted.
Is it too early to think about Halloween?
Aug 24, 2007 I guess I just need a lot of time to get motivated. It's in my nature to make costumes at the very last minute. Like, the night of. Like, 5 minutes before they need to leave to go trick-or-treating.
That's the benefit to having friends that live very far away. It gives me oodles of free time to worry about ridiculous things. Months in advance.
Oh, and speaking of ridiculous, I decided to re-redo the contac-paper chair. It was almost physically painful pulling all that hard work off, but it was turning out to be a mess. My kids? They're pickers. So, because I love them, and don't want to have to kill them, I pulled everything off, and spray-painted both chairs.
And made little butterfly cut-outs from the contac paper, and put those on, instead. I like to keep things interesting.
And then I made chair pads that match the butterfly cut-outs. Naturally. And I quilted the covers, by sewing around random butterflies in the fabric.
I went ALL OUT, man. It's like, XTreme chair redecorating. I'm officially LIVING ON THE EDGE.
