Suggestions?


Well, I'm still basically computer-less but dealing with the sitch. Colin is being nice enough to lend me his laptop when he doesn't have to take it to school. I know it's driving him crazy, but I'm very appreciative.


So, I'm thinking of getting a new digital camera. I'm hoping to get an SLR if I can figure out a way to afford it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Have not really researched this at all...

Do you have one?

Do you want one?

Which one do you have?

What do you like about it?

What do you not like about the model that you have?

What advice would you give to someone purchasing a new camera?


Sorry for all of the questions but if anyone has any advice or suggestions in making this purchase, it would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks y'all!

I'm clueless but Jill did a ton of research before buying hers and Christine is a wonder with a camera and just bought a new one.

Jen,
I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT, it's a few years old and I know there is a newer model now but I LOVE my camera! My Dad is a big photo buff and reads reviews of cameras and quality etc and he is a Nicon fan. but personally I don't think you could go wrong with either brand. If you do get one, there is a book that my dad gave me it's a really great digital photo book that explains things about your camera and how to take neat shots and he explains things simply, I'll have to find it and tell you the title if your interested. Good luck, and it is TOTALLY worth the money!

Such a bummer about the camera, but I think the SLR is the way to go. I know nothing about it, but I'm just waiting for my camera to break so I can get a new one. I probably shouldn't wish too hard. ;)

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high...

Skiing

This winter has been AWFUL so far.  I just KNEW it would be too!  We've had two very mild winters back to back and I knew that meant we would have to pay for it this year.   The inversion has been so bad this year that since Christmas it's been above 30 degrees like 3 or 4 times!!! Most days, it's been in the teens or lower.  I've been substituting for a teacher who was on maternity leave since December 10th.  So many inside recess days, I thought I was going to lose my mind.   My long-term job ended on Friday and with Martin Luther King Junior day on Monday, I just really wanted to get out of the inversion.  I tried to convince Colin to go to Las Vegas with me but we decided that wasn't very realistic, still cold there too.   Then I proposed skiing and we both decided it would be really fun to take the boys!  I was really pretty nervous about teaching both of the boys but the day was so amazing I couldn't even believe it.  ...
