A "Baby Bank," a sour note, a NEW camera!...(and a wee bit of buyer's remorse...)

My dear Sadie is an interesting child. At two years old, her favorite snacks appear to be smoked almonds....and spare change. Yep, spare change. When I said that to my mom I had to repeat it 3 times before she realized that I was talking about good old American money. Apparently, dear daughter must have ingested some (see turkey post) because today dh noticed a penny and a dime in the potty along with yesterday's leftovers. (yes, you can say ewwwwww.) I am SERIOUSLY hoping that there is no more left in there...

I picked up my Nikon D-50 today!!! I'm excited to try her out, but I have to purchase a memory card first. (Another $100, and me already spending so much on myself.) I'm actually feeling anxious and a little guilty for spending SO MUCH MONEY on me when there is so much we need to do around here...and so little money month to month. Maybe some great Christmas pics of the kids will clear that remorse right up....

OK, so the lens my camera came with doesn't seem to be the lens of choice. I looked up Quantaray lenses on the internet and found people saying all sorts of bad things! I talked to the sales guy, and he says I can try it for a month and see what I think, but that he likes this particular lens as opposed to the Nikor one that's comparable (and 50 more.) PLUS, this lens does macro and the other one doesn't. I REALLY wish I knew more...

DH and I had 2 performances this weekend with Accabella. It went alright, but something was rotten in Denmark...One keychange in one song went HORRIBLY wrong (uggh) and SOMEONE keeps missing some key notes on some ending chords. I know who...but I'm not naming names. ;) Here's hoping that the rest of the performances go better. The majority of them are church parties, which I hate for the most part, due to kids running all over and half the audience not being able to hear. Still, I love the music, so what can ya do?

Thanks for dropping by...
