Sorry for those last two posts! Those were totally prompt-posts and I’m ashamed (sort of). So there’s a big story behind my new digital camera. It’s the exact same as my old one! YAY!

The problem with my camera was the screen had some dead pixels that were slowly getting worse. It was no fault of mine, Canon has been known to have screen issues. But look at my camera… if the screen breaks completely, where is the viewfinder? Exactly! This model has a giant screen because it doesn’t have a viewfinder. I wanted to have the camera replaced a.s.a.p. because I’m screwed if it breaks completely!

On Thursday I headed out to camp to help out in the kitchen with a school group that was in for the day. They had three trail rides and then came in super hungry where Susan and I fed them chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. I ate so many grilled cheese, they are addictive at camp!

Well I was taking some photos – just for fun – because why have a camera, facebook, and a blog if you aren’t going to take photos? But during lunch, having my camera in my pocket was awkward so I put it by the tea kettle (it’s out of sight from the campers but still inside the kitchen).

Later that evening, mom tells me that dad is going down to Seattle (where he buys all our electronics wholesale), and suggests that I give him my camera. So I go looking for it in my purse… where is it? When did I have it last? Kitchen… camp… Aldergrove (1 hour drive away on the highway). F***!! I yelled so loud I was so mad at myself. I called Susan and asked her to keep it safe in her house for me.

But, UGH! I next to never forget my things… everything is always in my purse! So I tried to convince my dad to have a camera set aside for me, and then I would ship my broken one there, and then he could ship me the new one. I was just so worried it would be out of stock, because I got it waaay back in November! Dad was not very helpful and didn’t really seem to care that I’d forgotten my camera and didn’t realize how worried I was about it being in stock.

But in the morning, all refreshed, dad suggested he take the Aldergrove/USA border crossing, and on the way he’d pick up my camera! I was so happy — camp is only 10 minutes from the border crossing — so I called Susan and let her know my dad was coming, and asked if she’d be in. It was still in the big kitchen so I told my dad where to find it if Susan was out.

Dad just called about an hour and a half ago — my camera has been replaced with the exact same one! YAY! He’s also looking for a new DVD Player, I told him DVD Recorder/Player because it would be awesome. He found out that they don’t have HD-recording capabilities yet (only Standard definition), so he refuses to buy one. He said “maybe in a couple years when they come out with HD recorders”. UGH! The upstairs TV doesn’t have a VHS recorder, and it has over 200 channels. He doesn’t realize how annoying it is to only be able to record channels 1 – 50 on VHS downstairs! How annoying.

Anyway, that’s why I have no photos to blog for you, even though I dyed my hair!
