My eye candy

It has been a busy, busy day today... and it isn't even 3 pm.

I had an interview with a daycare, it seemed nice enough, but they are just starting up, have few children in their care, and have only been licensed for a year... and they are asking about $40 more a week than average. I think I would rather place her in a private school daycare and pay the extra $40 additional bucks.

I had a military appointment, I got a nice shiny brand new military ID. I can go shopping on base now! WOOOHOO! I have to admit I have missed not being able to go to AAFES and base exchange. How convenient that I work only 3 blocks from McClellan AFB.

I had a really nice visit with 2 friends and got to catch up on life.

I paid some bills, 2 weeks early even - go me.

I went to work to visit because Aidynn hasn't been in for a while now, and to invite some of the girls to a pampered chef party my roomie is throwing on Saturday. I don't know why, but I am excited for her. Of course everyone was happy to see her - especially Davey. I caught Gabi sneaking her cookies. I have only been gone a few weeks, but there has been some high turnover rates with the drivers. I took some calls and started working - I can't HELP it! ::laughs:: and all the new drivers stared at me when I walked into the warehouse like I was an alien. I decided to be nice and not mess with them.

I also managed to catch my boss and sit him down to tell him that I am pregnant again. Pft. I don't know why I ever worry when I have to have a meeting with him. He laughed, said congrats, stared at me like I was superwoman (which I am - complete badassery here) and said "Wow, and you're doing it all by yourself?!", and then asked when I was coming back and said he missed me. Awwww.... I talked to him for a bit and then off baby girl and I went....

To Target. I desperately want the movie Across the Universe. I love artsy movies and I have heard so many good things about it. Just my luck they were out of stock. They only had it in Blueray. Duane and I have talked about getting Blueray, but I have a huge collection of DVD's and they are not format compatible. Bummer. Anyhow, after ONE day they were sold out! Oh well... I figure I will get it later on. Maybe I will ask my roommate if she will watch Aidynn while I run out to find it after she gets home from work. So, I bought 3 other movies - Jungle Book for my, er, Aidynn's Disney collection, The Last Mimzy, and Little Miss Sunshine. Then I figured I would look around a bit... what could it hurt right? .... $207 later I am on my way to the register, missing that I can't buy little things for Duane right now, and pass the camera case.... there they are.....

The Nikon D40 and the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi ..... I am smitten by these cameras... especially the way the Rebel looks in black. I haven't been able to decide which name to go with. If I do go with Nikon I will probably get the D80 since it had the comparable 10.2mp similar to the Rebel (Not that anything above 8mp matters) but now there is a new Rebel out as well! All the reviews I have read say that all of these cameras are wonderful... so many people rave about the beautiful pictures. These cameras with a lens will set me back about $700... yeah ouch, I know. (At least I get the batteries at cost ) BUT I haven't bought a new digital camera in a few years. I currently use a Canon Powershot ELPH (which I have loved) and I came across this....

Canon PowerShot G9

This is one of the most highly recommended cameras out right now. It isn't an SLR, but it's about 1/3 of the price of the others. My experience with Canon has been awesome. I love the fact that they are solid, high quality cameras. Not plastic pieces of crap like Kodak.

I just don't know.... maybe I will buy the PS and then tell Duane to go buy me one of the others for my birthday. heheh.... I know how he is. He has to know everything about everything and will only be satisfied with the best option.

Hrm... something to ponder.... so many choices!
