Weekend ♥

Friday night, Sean and I decided to go to his hometown to use a gift certificate that our realtor sent us as a Christmas gift. Since Sean told me that the restaurant is quite nice, I knew that I was going to bring my big girl camera. Imagine my tantrum sadness when I realized that my camera was not being her big girl self.

I contacted the all too powerful Google and found that I had been given a lemon. I was not the only one who had the issue so instead of sending the camera to Nikon to have them fix it, I decided to return it. After a few texts and emails with a few blogger friends it was decided that I would get a Cannon Rebel. Well, those amazingly good deals we get during Christmas season are no joke. Prices have skyrocketed. So my dreams to own a big girl camera are on hold. I just can’t accept that I have to pay so much more. As my friend CeCe recommended, President’s Day is right around the corner. So I will wait. While my heart cries, while my eyes burn, while my insides ache for a big girl camera. (Gosh, I’m dramatic).

Let’s move on from the dramatics.

I guess, in all the sadness, I forgot to ask Sean to take a picture of me. So in blogger fashion, I checked to see if the bathroom had a full length mirror and snapped away. The stupid things I do for this blog. Are you wondering why there is a toilet behind me? By looking at this picture one would think that when you use the bathroom in this restaurant, you could actually watch yourself. You can.

Sean was not kidding when he said this restaurant was nice. I mean, he thinks McDonalds is nice. Hmm, well, I think McDonalds is nice too. Any who, the restaurant had a great ambience and our food was incredible! Too bad my phone could not truly capture it. Beggars can’t be choosers. Well, at least that is what I’m told.

And now is when I apologize for these dark pictures. I'm sorry. I don't think my blog is good for your eyes.

We had fun but I did not take any pictures of Sean because there was no point. It was too dark. So obviously if there aren't any pictures of Sean in the restaurant there couldn't be any of me ;).

♥♥♥

Then on Saturday, I got the best news (of all news) in all the land. MY SISTER HAD HER BABY GIRL!!! If I told you that I cried for a good ten minutes when I got the picture of my niece, would you believe me? Well, believe me. I did. I actually was confused with why I was crying because I’ve never done that before. But here I was, staring at a picture of my niece, One Tree Hill on pause and I’m just crying uncontrollably. For ten minutes. I guess that is what they call happy tears.

Sean and I will head to the city on Thursday to meet my niece. I’ll share her name once my sister gives me the OK to share pictures of her on my blog. If she says no, I’ll cry, because she is the most adorable baby girl I have ever laid eyes on. I would say I am bias, but I’m not. She is the most adorable baby girl I have ever laid eyes on ;).

How was your weekend?
Happy Monday!

  9. That SUCKS about your camera! :( Is there any way that you could return the original one for another of the same one? So you don't have to pay more?

    Glad you had a good weekend besides the camera thing though. Congrats to your sister!!!

  17. Aaawww, congrats Auntie! I hope your sister lets you share a picture. I don't doubt that she is the cutest baby ever. Mixed babies usually are. And I speak from experience, having been one (a mixed baby, that is). ;)

  18. Sorry about your cam! I use a Canon T3i myself. Nikon is a good brand too, though. Just know, pics don't just come out of DSLRs looking like what you see on the blogs. There is a BIG learning curve. I suggest you buy a book! And that's just the tip of the iceberg, there are lenses ($$), software (photoshop, etc.). None of the fancy pics you see are straight out of the camera!

    Anyway, cute outfit! :)

  19. congrats on the new family member!!! Very exciting, i hoping for pics!

    XOXO

  20. Try 1saleaday.com for the camera, but you have to be prepared to buy it on the day you see it featured. They have the digital rebel t3 something and t4something (i think) at a deep discount. Next time I see it I'll email you just in case.

  21. Well, you look cute...even with the not so cute toilet behind you! Congrats on your new niece. Happy tears; even for 10 minutes is good!! The camera thing is so disappointing but I think it's good you sent it back and will wait. It's too expensive to worry about being stuck with a sub par product. There HAS to be some good deals out there next month!!! The dark i phone pics do not do your blog justice.

  22. Congrats to your sis...I can't wait to see pics! And that is just a teensy bit creepy {ok more than a teensy bit} that you can stare at yourself in a full-length mirror while using the potty LOL! Seriously, what was that restaurant thinking?! But at least you got pics of that fab outfit! :)

    p.s. - I'm hosting a new link-up tomorrow called "Simply Positive Tuesdays" and its all about sharing the joyful things in your week. Check out my blog for all the deets :)

  30. Hahahaha you make me laugh every time I read your blog. I just read some of your blog out loud to Garrett and giggled. I'm sorry about your camera, that stinks. But, Canon Rebel's are awesome (that's what I have!) and CeCe is right, there will be sales again soon! Congrats to your sister and to you on becoming an Auntie! : )

  38. Congratulations on your sister's baby. Ruthy and TOI are on to something here...don't you think ;). Two camera breaks (can i even say that?) in 2 months is too much :(. Hang in there for your new one!

  39. Congrats on your sissy's

  40. Awww you're an aunty now! That's exciting I get the tears of joy :)

    That's really too bad about your camera, I would be so incredibly frustrated and disappointed too if I had a lemon and had to go through so much to get a replacement camera. On a positive note my sis uses a canon rebel and she loves it. Also if you guys collect air miles there seems to be a lot canon camera products in the rewards section. Just a thought.

  42. I don't think I've ever commented on your blog but I read everyday. Anyway, if you're coming in to the city you may want to try B&H they usually have some good deals. You can't go on a saturday because they are closed(Jewish).
