Finally - the weekend report

When you have to drive to your home town twice in two days, spending 8 hours in the car can get a little boring. What do you do? Take random pics to try and figure out your new camera that has too many setting for you to figure out.
I took some pics of the world zooming by.
Aperture setting:

Shutter Speed setting:

Hmm, not much different.

Focus on something up close

Focus on something far away

I'm an auto focus girl because up until now I've had a point and shoot but I suppose as I learn more about my DSLR I'll be learning the world of manual focus.

So, what did I go to my home town twice in two days for? I had a funeral on Thursday and had to work on Friday so I went back and came home. Then I had to go back on Friday to see my niece. She was an attendant for our high school homecoming.



So Cute!

Nikon D60

It's here! Nice and shiny and new!


Unfortunately I didn't do anything cool last night to take pics of. By the time I got home from exercising it was time to sit my butt on the couch, watch Ugly Betty and Greys and fold laundry.

Oh, I did take 100 pictures of my kitty trying to figure out how to make her look awesome and yet have a blurry background. She was posing for me. Really. She was. She normally runs away if I get right in her face but last night she sure looked like she was more bored with me than anything. I'll post a picture later so you can see what I'm talking about. This camera won't be making the trip with me back and forth to work getting jostled around in my purse. No Siree. By the time I was done folding laundry it was time to crash so I didn't do any uploading.

My sister is coming to help with the house this weekend and she's gonna teach me a thing or two. Help...........I need to know how to utilize this camera!

Slow Night

Last night we didn't do much. I pulled up the tack strips in one of the bedrooms and did lots of more laundry.

Adam and his dad cut down a smaller tree outside and worked a little on the big pine ones.

There is a bad smell coming from our dishwasher. I don't know why. It smelled fine when we first got into the house and you'd think that if it was going to smell that is when it'd do it. So we also took apart the dishwasher last night but I'm not sure that we found/solved the problem. Ugh. One more new thing to buy??

I have a few new ideas for the bathroom to save space. One would be to get a vanity and do my hair and makeup not in the bathroom so that I don't have to have storage for all that stuff in the bathroom. Isn't this one pretty?

$500! Yikes. I think Adam would be building that instead of buying it.

We also could use one of these for hanging towels and storing towels. It's called a train rack. I didn't know that until today.


I think this might be a very good option for hanging a hand towel and wash cloth and keeping a few extra towels in the bathroom.

I think that we may just put up hooks in our new little cubby that will be created by moving the wall over to the next stud instead of a towel bar. I kinda like the idea of them hanging back there.

My new camera should be ready and waiting for me when I get home. Why oh why do I have to sit here til 5? :(
