New Camera at last!

I finally stopped talking about buying a new camera and actually bought one!  I am lurve with it!! <3.
I searched the web for days and after spending many hours on various sites comparing options and prices, I decided on the GE Power Pro X500-WH 16 MP with 15 x Optical Zoom Digital Camera... It is awesome and was very affordable.  The deciding factor for me, was umm that it is WHITE!!  I think it is insanely stylish, but that's just my opinion!  

Many people suggested that I buy a Canon Rebel.  I tried one out at Best Buy while on Vacation last weekend (Great Falls isn't cool enough for a Best Buy).. it was a little too much camera for me!  I am used to a simple Kodak camera with 3x zoom and 10.3 mega pixels.... the zoom has been broken for about 2 years and the camera takes terrible pictures.. so this is a major upgrade for me.  Another bonus is that this camera didn't cost much more than my old Kodak.  I'm sure this would be nothing special to a pro photographer, but it is a start for me.  Once I get the hang of it, then I will decide whether or not to upgrade. 
Also, I love the idea of not being too upset if I drop this on the ground, because that is bound to happen with my slippery little fingers.  And I can take this one to work.. I like the Panoramic option for taking listing pictures.. it is so easy to use :).  There's my living room below. 

Saturday mornings are for Garage sales!

Since the weather has warmed up a bit, I've been woken up every Saturday morning around 8AM (TOO EARLY) by either my Mom or Dad asking if I want to go to garage sales.  I always say no (very crabby at 8AM), hang up, try to go back to sleep, then admit defeat about 30 minutes later, call them back and tell them to come get me!  I am a sucker for junk.. I get it from my parents.  They are Veteran Garbage Sale goers.. Oh did I just say Garbage?  lol
I find the coolest things for my house..I have to hunt like crazy, but I always end the morning with something cool.. like this vintage lamp I picked up for $3 last weekend..  Of course it came with a junky old golden shade, but it was easy enough to stop by Target and get a new $9 lamp shade!  Total cost a for a unique and awesome lamp..$12.  :)

Speaking of garage sales.. my parents are having a block sale tomorrow.. I will have all kinds of old Pier 1 things, 2 dining tables, a bazillion dining chairs, a treadmill.. stop by :)
