I got my birthday present today. My Love and my friend Rand gave me the money to pick out what new digital camera I wanted. ! ! ! We ran all over today so I could get my grubby little paws on different models to see what I liked, what size things were, ect. I really wanted to handle a few that were in the top of my list before deciding. I got to see the Canon PowerShot A80 (everywhere), the Nikon 3200 (many places) but I couldn't find the Nikon 3700 anywhere. Until the very last place we checked - the Ritz Camera in the mall. Oh. My. Goddess. I fell in love. It's so cute and little (think a more rectangular (but just as small) elph s400). Well, there's a $100 Nikon rebate on it. It lists for $399, BUT...I found it - shipped, no tax! - for $282. So with the $100 rebate, it's half off retail. Hell yeah! $182 for a $400 camera. It's sweeet.
Anyway, I'm so unbelievably hyped and excited. Holy shit. I mean holy shit! I've only been wanting a new dig cam for like a year or two so....wow. Just wow.
We're heading off to Disney tomorrow (the only thing that SUCKS about getting it online is I can't take it with me immediately. Darn!) and staying over. So I'll be out for two days. (A stay-over! Weeee!) It'll be cool. (Despite the fact we couldn't book where we wanted to at the Wilderness Lodge on Disney property, we got a room right near Downtown Disney at a good rate.) It's nice to be out and away for two days instead of just one. And to not have to drive home and such. Anyway, I'm excited.
So I'm hyped and hyper and thrilled. And shocked. Did I mention shocked? 'Cause wow. Anyway, had to babble a bit because I can't get over how excited I am. I can't wait to get it. (Should be next week) Have an excellent weekend everyone, I'm out having fun and enjoying my birthday!
edit I almost forgot. Two things. One, I have to thank sphinxgoddess for being an amazing dear - she got me the moldavite pendulum I've been wanting for a year now. It's my very first pendulum ever. I'm really thrilled about it and can't wait to start using it.
Two, Luka installed MT for me. At the moment you can see it's bare-bones here. I don't have time this weekend, but I'll be playing with it and getting to know it. See how I like it and whatnot; what I can do with it and what it can do. Bad timing apparently since they're new version is terribly restrictive AND you have to pay for it and everyone's jumping ship. Figures that as soon as I catch up, I'm behind the curve already! I still have the 2.6 version though so it should work out just fine regardless of their new version issues.
Anyway, now everyone have a GREAT weekend! I've got to pack some clothes for tomorrow. Ta!
