Let me get through the day....

Got up this morning about 5 min late.... I think my phone is going a little weird. The alarm didn't go off. Time for another update I guess. Good thing I still have my extremely loud alarm clock. It works out. I'm just lazy. Made lunch and all. Was in class about 2 min late, as usual. The midterm was pretty easy. Didn't really study for it. I better know this stuff. I've repeated other Statistics courses so many times... *sigh*.

It's spring break next week. I don't really have much planned. Working on the weekends, writing a couple of papers, catching up on some readings, and review my notes. That is all. Not much.

Made my first page last night. I'm pretty addicted to it now I think. I need more inspiration. I have a few ideas of my own on what to make and stuff. I'll go ahead and make those first. Then I'll really start looking at what other people are doing. The fun thing is, I will probably never run out of ideas as long as people are posting up challenges. I did a little bit of shopping yesterday. Got a few things from Target, Michaels, and Aaron Brothers. I think I will make good use of the 40% coupon from now on. If I can't find anything to feed my scrapbook needs, I can always get a ball of yarn... haha. I did get to use that for the vertical paper organizer yesterday. Saved 10 bucks, that's better then the sale prices couple of weeks ago. The Cricut is on sale this week for $199 at Michaels. Tempted... but this morning I found a reason to wait. Costco.com sells it for $199 with free shipping and handling. Yeah I totally can wait. I did some tracing and cutting last night, and I already can see how the Cricut would be useful. Needful things. I have a lot of supplies I should get through for now. I'll try to hold off on buying anything. If I'm creative enough, then I don't need anything else. In theory at least.

Part of the reason I'm trying to save up is to get my new camera. Despite the loud and very obnoxious objection from a coworker who aspires to be a photojournalist, I am going to get the Sony Alpha. I guess complaining to Sony really works. I don't think I've ever been so happy about spending $500 bucks on something. I have until the end of May to get it, but I'm hoping to have my hands on it in about 3 weeks. With that, a zoom lens, tripod, bag, filters, other random stuff I can find for it... I'm looking at about $900 to $1000 for it. I'm going to look around ebay for a few things. Other then that, I think I can get them cheaper at work.

  1. Sick..sick...sick, what are you turning in to!? Bwahahahahaha! I love it!! :) Just wish we lived closer to share it, ya know?

    Good golly, I need a Cricuit too. I always point it out to Shawn, he seems to pretend he doesn't hear me.

    The coworker who is aspiring to be a photojournalist can stuff it...the Sony Alpha is FLIPPIN' SWEET-AH MAN! Get the SanDisk Extreme III flash card too...holy smokes, it's FAST. Yes..yes...get some of your lens, the tripod, and the bag at work...employee discount! ;)
