Confession

I hate my new camera!! It takes crappy pictures. I guess you get what you pay for? I've only ever borrowed digital cameras, have never shopped for one. But, I've never used one that I had trouble getting decent pictures from. Maybe because I always borrowed them from people who weren't cheap like me. I thought I didn't need anything fancy. I didn't care about bells and whistles. I paid attention to the mega pixels and the brand name, and that's pretty much it. Its a Sony Cyber-shot. The worst part is that two days before Christmas my mom's camera broke while in my possession. The lens just suddenly wouldn't close. I read all over the internet about what everyone referred to as 'the dreaded lens error'. Tried every goofy fix I read about online, but to no avail. So now what do I do?? Here I thought we would now have 2 nice cameras on the block and instead we have none. I guess I need to look into having my mom's repaired. The only reason I haven't done so yet is that everything I read online implied that they were prohibitively expensive to fix - hence the suggestions to whack it around in an attempt to fix (as in, it's already broken, so don't worry about damaging it)

On the bright side...we're having another fun sleepover tonight!


This time with some of Patrick's school friends. No school here tomorrow. They had the longest injury and argument-free tackle football game in the front yard on record to date. Now playing virtual football on the PS2. There have also been nerf gun wars, laser tag and a bizarre amount of cereal eating.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is stacking and unstacking solo cups and has a drawer full of cards on the kitchen table sorting them.
The other day she was arranging V-8 cans in the pantry and when Andy questioned her about it she said, 'It's your fault for sending me to Montessori!'
