I'm still here...

trying to remember how I entertained myself before my camera!

Can I just say how much I HATE being without it???

The quality of my point and shoot just isn't cutting it for me... 

I feel like a total wuss complaining about it... 

trust me, I'm not used to feeling like such a First World Princess!

I found an unused gift certificate 

for  our local 'art store' 

and will be treating myself 

to more supplies this weekend.

I've also decided on a road trip to see Art Boy in KC - 

he always inspires me - 

not to mention they'll come take away 

my Mother of the Decade award 

if I don't see him soon!

Besides, I currently hate my job - 

though I love and am grateful every day 

for the folks I work with -

and desperately need a break!!

I'm running on empty.

OK, I'll admit it, 

I also am fairly close 

to deciding to get 

a back-up camera body

while my first one is 

gone for weeks...

first world problems

call for 

first world 

solutions!

Besides... 

think of all the money I no longer spend

on hair products, coloring etc 

since I shaved my head 2 years ago!

If I was worth L'Oreal,

I'm worth a back up camera!

That's the trouble with us Americans,

we can always justify our behavior -
at least
to ourselves!
