Ethan was home yesterday because of a fever and both were home today because of snow.

I am officially driven insane.
Love my kids but good gods, they drive me bonkers!!

Also, had to order a replacement charger for my Rebel :( It disappeared somewhere. All logical places have been searched. Cybershot charger was found but not the Canon. =/ So, it should arrive Saturday! Yay!!

A few people have asked me if I really have to have a $500 camera ($700 after the memory card and insurance plan), and honestly, no, I don’t. I have wanted a Rebel for YEARS (literally … my first post for one, that I still have a copy of, is from 2007).

But, I didn’t have to have one for the shots I’m taking. I’m hoping to eventually make print-worthy shots, and ones that I can actually sell. That’s why I wanted the good camera. My Cybershot, though, takes amazing pictures. My Canon does as well.

Both of these shots are straight-out-of-the-camera. Okay, the Canon one is as close as I can get, since I take my pictures in RAW.

See. There’s not that big of a difference! You can’t even really tell the difference between 7.2mpx and 10.1mpx. I can also say that in print, there isn’t much difference between them either.

Now, if you compared them with my 2.0mpx cell phone (Samsung Impression), you’ll see a remarkable difference, ;)

The biggest suggestion I can ever make on a camera is to do your research. Figure out what you want to take pictures of, the reasoning between why you think you need a more expensive camera, etc. Personally, I use all three of the cameras that I have. Well, four, if you count the webcam on my laptop. They all have their purposes. They all have their uses.

What? You don't like water shots? Personally, I'm using my washer to attempt to figure out how to get "softer" water shots. So far? Not doing so well. Do I care? Not one whit, because I'm having so much fun!

Oh, and Josh went with his dad. His dad is closing on 75 acres (and going to be finishing the paying off of the current 40-acre property, and selling it :( ), and he tried to steal my Canon. I was like "Oh hell no!" and handed him the Pink Lady. I'm like, "unless you want to shell out another $700, just in case you break it", and he was like "battery charged in the pink one?" :lol:

So, maybe he'll actually take some decent pics? Eh, who knows :P
