Kerpluee

My trusty camera that I purchased two years ago for $299 dollars has recently went kerpluee on me, well actually it continued to flash "focusing error" out of nowhere. And after much online research and contacting the help desk - I found out the fujifilm cameras have a history of this sort of trouble after two years!! I hate finding this out now, but I will say that I loved this camera - it was a great camera for the two years I had it and I was heartbroken that it broke!

I then ventured out into the digital camera market once again. Does anyone remember the digital camera market two years ago - it was horrible. There were only two classes of cameras then (as I remember it) lousy cameras or really expensive cameras. Now, the market is much nicer - there are lots to choose from. Greg actually wanted me to pick a camera that was $200 more than the one I wanted - it was a lot fancier, but for what I use my camera for - I really needed one I could swing around my neck at a playground or the children's museum. I needed one I could stash in my purse - not one that had accessories or one in which I had to learn to use first! So, here is what I went with:


I love it! More optical zoom and megapixals that I had before and I went with my "old trusty" brand - Canon. I am thankful for my patient husband who worked to fix my fujufilm and when it couldn't be done - helped me pick my next camera!

Great Reads

I've read (or am currently reading) a few books lately, that I have become to think are quite awesome. Here are my Great Reads as of late:

1. Becoming a parent places so many concerns fore front that you may have not had in the past. I never worried so much about food when it was Greg and I. Over the past year, I have become more educated on the purchases I make at the grocery store. I see it as a journey where I am very much at the beginning and am still a novice. I highly recommend this book for those of you who wander what the big deal is about all the food craze that has developed lately.


2. I read this book for a book club. This books is an awesome read. I can't say too much for fear of giving too much away. I would highly recommend this book (Nicole) to those who love to read fiction.


3. This book was recommended to me by a friend. It is a lengthy book, but I am reading it because I've realized Allison will soon become "school age." I'm not sure of the path we will take with her education, but I recently realized that I need to become more educated to better serve Allison's needs.
