There IS a God!!!

According to this article, Jeb said he won't run in 2008!!!

I'm giddy with relief.

So, today B and I purchased a replacement wedding ring (his got demolished in the accident). It was fun browsing through the different types of metal they have out. After much deliberation, he finally decided on a titanium number. Let's see him break THAT bugger! On second thought, maybe I'll wrap him in bubble wrap, seal him inside a giant, plastic, hamster ball and watch him roll around the house.

As we were shopping around, I found a little camera shop and added to my in-my-dreams list. So pretty! There is the Nikon D2x Professional Digital SLR that takes 5 frames per second, but... that is too expensive to even think about putting on my in-my-dreams list. Add on a telephoto lense, and I could send someone to college. Kinda over kill to fulfill my desire to take photos of surfer dudes on the beach. They just look like they are having so much fun, and... I'm way too afraid of sharks to paddle my lame ass out so the least I can do is live vicariously through them by snapping a few shots, ya' know? But my current camera has a huge delay after you hit the button and instead of getting a shot of some dude or dudette surfing, I've got the wave swallowing them up as the bite it. Not to mention I'd rather take candid shots of family than stills where everyone is wearing a will-you-just-take-the-damn-picture-already grin. I mean, you can see the violent gleam in their eye as I snap away, especially the three year old who'd really rather play with his birthday present than hold up the package as I get his snap-shot. So, really, my desire to get a ridiculously expensive camera is FOR THE CHILDREN! Maybe I'll start going door to door to collect for this worthy cause.
