And October is over

October was a long month. Really, REALLY long. But things are looking up.

I am already starting to think about Thanksgiving and that holiday that will not be mentioned until the day after. Again, I will be having Thanksgiving at my house, and I get that day off. However I do have to work the next holiday and I;m not too thrilled about that.

I have also started to take note of the random things that come out of my mouth when dealing with my kids. You know those things that after you say them you thing "omg did I just say that!" Yesterday was a prime example for that. The exact phrase was " Dani, not everything that's green is a pickle." There is a story behind that statement, but I think that I will keep it to myself. And just for the record, Dani is turning into a first class Smart ass! Tc got a new fin for his car and he was incredibly excited about it. Dani's response " Seriously, That's it?" I know, I do love that child.

My camera is a piece of crap, so if anyone has a Canon 7D they want to donate for my cause, I would appreciate it. If not, and most likely, I will be saving up for one. I have decided to upgrade to another canon. I already have three lenses and if I went Nikon, I would have to start all over.

Other than the kittens, there is no more news. We are all doing great! Trudging along in our lives causing mischief where we can. Yes it's good times!!!

Canon or Nikon? The jury is still out.

So I took my photography call and loved it. But when I started, my teacher had a love for Nikon and introduced us to the Nikon d90 which is a professional camera that will make you drool. He has since upgraded to a Nikon d300 which, is so nice I can't even afford it in my dreams. Anyways, he also told me that my Canon Rebel was a nice consumer type camera. WTH. I wasn't going for consumer type, I want a Professional camera. So I discussed this with Ben , OK I talked and he pretended to agree with me, because when I talk, I basically inform you of what I am going to do and you can disagree and fight me; but I am just going to do what I want anyways. It's who I am, let it go. I have decided to get a different camera, when I get all the money saved up. Now because I already know how much I have to save and how long this is going to take, I have narrowed it down to a couple of choice cameras. I was going to go with the Canon 50d but have since decided that I would end up wanting more, so it is a decision between the Canon 7d or the Nikon D7000.

Pros's for the Canon, I already have three lenses, it has a higher mega pixel, 18 vs 16.2, I already know the brand and love it. Pros for the Nikon, more stores around here sell Nikon products rather than Canon products. The D7000 is less expensive than the Canon.

Either way they should both be good cameras. Whats your opinion?

OK, What happened to September?

Can you believe it's October!!! What happened to September? I know it was there because it comes after August, right?
Well I have made some progress in some things. I have lost 15 lbs and counting. I am really excited because I am fitting into jeans that I haven't worn in two years. I am getting to the point that I will have to replace undergarments, AND THAT IS GOOD!!!!! It is nice to get on the scale and watch the numbers go down. I have been maintaining but slowly increasing my weight for the last two years, but to see the reverse of this is great. Only 79 more lbs to go. Good heck, that's a kid.

As you know my Cat had kittens. She had 4 but we lost one on Wednesday. That little guy was pure white. It was very sad because I don't like to see anything die. I know and I'm a nurse.

I completed my first successful hat. It looks great. I am going to start of some for my kids. They have all picked out colors in yarn that I already have. So it will be back to YouTube  to get more patterns. YAY.
