This has been said aloud several times around my house lately.... ESPECIALLY with "ward" doing some of the packing of the boxes....
Well... I cashed in on item number 1 today.
My dearly beloved Canon Power Shot sd 630 digital elph DIED. And Crap on a stick... wouldn't you know it... I go to get her to take the typical birthday kid behind the sparlkling "6" birthday candle on the custom decorated birthday cake (by the 6 year old herself)... when I turned it on I heard the grinding sound.... That can't be good ! A message "lens something or other...." CRAP ! CRAP ! CRAP ! on a big giant stick!
This little power house of a memory catcher did the her job for 3 full years. COUNTLESS photos taken.... not just MY kids either. She single lensedly brought me through the MANY MANY MANY photos taken for the school yearbook..... No extended warranty at Best Buy.... STUPID ! STUPID ! STUPID !
With Taps being played... bur bur bur......... bur bur bur....... bur bur bur... bur bur bur.. bur bur... burrr ...bur ...bur... bur..........bur ...bur ... bur........burrrrr... .burrr burrrrrrrr! (ok, you play the bugle in writing.... and let me know how it sounds)
She is being laid to rest and being replaced by another Canon.. Power Shot SD 1200 IS Digital Elph. in a beautiful shade of aqua. I'd take a picture of her and post her but..... duh... no camera and I cannot figure out how to hijack a photo off the web.
She is NOT the big girl camera that I want...I am ready to advance to the SLR but not sure where to turn there... waiting on the cousel of my mentor Michele Skinner.... hint hint MS ! (any advice on YOUR SLR is welcomed ... cannot wait forever MS ! )
Anyway... look forward to Blue Betty being ready to go... battery charging.... and taking photos of the house before it's gone.... with in days... and the progress of the process.
xoxoxo ... cfe
i thought i sent my recommendations ... ? well, crap. so much for helping a sistah out. i'll e you tonight!! (you should have called me from the store and yelled at me and i would have talked you through it right then! ;o) )
