I've been wanted a dSLR since I bought my first digital camera but I do know that my Sony is the best for right now-especially for Disney with the kids. It wasn't just the dSLR's that got me but the fact that lots of them had what looked like professional equipment. I find it hard to believe that they all knew what to do with it.I think the camera thing is an end of year thing to capture those last moments in the current activities. I have noticed them recently, when I have not previously at similar events. I covet them very much. I really would like a DSLR before my trip, but keep telling myself what I have takes good enough pictures for now.
Eventually that is something I will purchase instead of coveting. I have wanted one for 5+ years. I know it is something that would get used. I use what I have weekly if not more often. I am hoping with the economy being crappy that I could get a great deal, but at the same time keep thinking it is frivolous and unnecessary.
As for the weight I know the feeling of wanting to be a size 4. For whatever reason I notice it more now, then when I weighed 250 pounds. I guess I am more aware of my body size. It drives me crazy because I know how I far I have come, but at the same time want to weigh 50 pounds less.![]()
Night all it is back to work tomorrow. My weekend was far to short.
Enjoy your day off Elin!

If anyone wants to see Vicki's photopass photos please EMAIL me and I'll send you the link. Since her sister's kids are in the photos she doesn't want the link on the thread, but gave the the ok to forward the email.
I just looked at them and they are really good photos. They are having an awesome time. The Prince and Princess costumes were perfect. Not to mention Chuck saving one of the girls from Captain Hook lol
I've been a fowl little mood..... I discovered my Amex bill was a day late. Of course I just started using it more so I'm going to get hit hard on that.I took Friday off so DH could have a routine medical test. I went to Joe's concert and was feeling out of place with all the other moms who were young, size 4's, dressed in designer clothes and LOTS of them had VERY expensive dSLR's. I don't care about age or clothes but I would feel better being smaller and would love some of those expensive cameras I saw. I felt way out of place. When I brought Joe to soccer I was surprised again but all the moms who had expensive camera equipment. I'm nost talking dSRL's. They had huge expensive lenses too. Must be a new trend in this town. I suppose the heat doesn't help. We only have a room AC in just our bedroom.

Thanks! I hope she feels better soon!Is she not responding to your PMs?![]()
She and I corresponded quite a bit yesterday and she posted on the "moms to be" thread this morning...
I have a Davids - do they dye shoes that they don't sell? They too, do not carry wide shoes.I'm pretty sure the bridal stores still do this.
Chanon, do you have a Bridal and Formal or a David's Bridal near you?
Have a great day!I have an entire day to myself tomorrow! I have a hair appointment at 11:30 but that is all that is on my schedule. I cannot wait.
So apparently I missed the cruise thread that shows that staggered dining stopped too. I guess it's OK...I'm gonna have to go reprint the schedule...see the new Nassau schedule and mull over the pirate party.I already PMed Kristine with this information, but I thought some of you may be interested as well. The Pirate Party now starts at 7:30pm on the Wonder. They are testing it out. The early dinner is at 5:45pm and late dinner starts at 8:30pm. More information is available here.
Deb, can you send me the link to work please? Thanks!
Thanks! I hope she feels better soon!You'll be sure to post right? (I'm hoping that they know that you should be the DDA contact!

Also, I agree with you that one of the nicest gifts I receive is a card. I have long ago forgotten what gifts most students have given me, but I have 15-20 cards that I have kept over the years because they were just so special.
Cried the entire time! my dad walked in and was like "you do know its a show, right?"
SUCH a good episode--none of my friends watch it and it was killing me not talking to someone about it!
have a good day all! its supposed tobe 98 here today--some schools have already closed!
Anne Marie - That doesn't sound like much of a vacation to me!!![]()
Deb, I would love to have the link when you have a minute. Thanks!![]()
Bernadette,Sorry about the AmEx bill.
Do they have that option of getting an e-mail alert when your bill is almost due? We have that for a couple of our bank cards. I also ended up making a checklist of our monthly bills because the mail is so spotty sometimes. I missed a bill last year and didn't notice until we got the next statement. Luckily that wasn't one that would have kicked us into a default APR!
I will tell you, the moms around here aren't young but they are tiny and always look nice. Then there's me, in a baseball cap with no make-up, still trying to lose the same weight I have been trying to lose for the past 12 years. They don't have nice cameras, but believe me, they could if they felt like it. Try not to let them get you down! At the band concert there was only one camera nicer than ours. BUT DH doesn't know how to use the dSLR to it's full potential so our pics aren't any better than what I used to take with the disposable. Don't tell him I said that.
What is it they say on the photo boards? "Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a Nikon owner." Or maybe it's Canon. You get the point. We have spent over $1000 on dSLR stuff since Black Friday. I nearly choked when I realized that. Yesterday DH said he needs special bag for $90. And he needs a tripod. I get needing the tripod, but we are going to fight about the bag. Your pictures are stunning! I would much rather have the fabulous photos that you take as opposed to the expensive equipment and disposable quality photos we get. Don't tell DH I said that, either. I am just waiting for him to get frustrated and abandon the whole thing. Then I will know where you can get 2 dSLRs, a flash, and 3 lenses in addition to what came with the cameras. Cheap.![]()
Stop! You are scaring me!I go back to work today. It might take a few days to get Princess back on her normal schedule, but I think it will be OK. We need to get serious about potty training.
Marci - Thanks!Glad the boys had a good weekend!
I guess I should go get in the shower. Want to be nice and clean before I get in the pool!We have 70% chance of storms though, so maybe not.
