random thoughts

I think I'm going to 'quit' this blog. I don't find that much to say these days. Especially not anything very exciting. Not that anything is 'wrong' I'm just busy and happily not spending near the time 'blogging' as I once was.

I am trying to also keep my creative blog more up to date -

might be back, might not be soon ;)

camping NIGHTMARE!

We had a HORRIBLE! camping adventure. My dh is a VERY relaxed, easy-going kinda guy and he even ripped the guy at the camping place!

the run down: -Knights Beach (aka -NIGHTMARE Beach!)
-WAY overpriced ($147 for 2 nights)
- "campsites" = aka -an open free for all FIELD! We were told each picnic table is considered a "site"
-Family camping -NOT! more like Trailer Park boys!!! People were camping on top of people, there was a domestic dispute with VERY colourful language until 4am!!!
-4-wheeler/Atv's riding around ALL HOURS!
-radio's competing with each other LOUD -even until 4am
-guy smoking crack pipe right out in plain view Need I really say more?

then it rained/lightening and thundered. Like Steve said - that was the LEAST of our worries! The last that Steve looked at the time it was 4:45am and I burried my head into my pillow (my back was KILLING me!) and then the rain started to leak through our tent and onto my head! SERIOUSLY! We got up at 6:45am and by 7:30 we were packed up and ready to leave. We complained and got a full refund! (thankfully!) and they have STIFF policy of NO REFUNDS / RAINouts etc. I do NOT recomment this place to ANYoNE! we stayed over at my inlaws Sat. night (they live on the lakeshore of lake Erie) -maybe 20min. drive from the NightMare Beach campground. Then we came home last night ahhhhh!!

new camera shopping

I'm becoming VERY frustrated. I have been learning and researching for a new digital camera. I want the 'greatness' of an DSLR but there are some features that I want that they don't offer. {sigh} I also don't want the price tag... So have been reading reviews until my eyes hurt. I've felt like I've been wasting SO much time at the computer it makes me sad.

So please spare me and leave a comment about what kind of camera you have/had love it, hate it? why? b/c I'm going CRAZY!

a few that are on my list are:
-Cannon Powershot S5 IS
-Nikon Coolpix P80
-Olympus SP550 or SP560

good? or bad?

I'm not sure how to take this, but this is what my horoscope said today:

Pisces: You've been complaining about how boring things are, but they are about to get more exciting than you want.

I've been busily working on cards stuff for my next class (next friday) all at the same time while juggling life -- some days have been hairy, but we have our health :D

so... not much is really new. Weather sucks! it's HOT and HUMID. We've been spoiled so far this summer, with VERY low humidity. Until THIS weekend. ugh! it's GROSS.

Not much to talk about... maybe we'll do something fun this weekend? then I'll have something FUN to say! ;) Have a great weekend!!

BUSY!

what the heck?!?

I've been going crazy. Been busy keeping the kids doing stuff. And then Saturday we went to my mom's for a BBQ (yesterday was her bday) then yesterday Ally and I had a baby shower to attend (for Steve's cousin) ...today we're loafing!

a few things defining me {?}

YELLOW

You are very perceptive and smart. You are clear and to the point and have a great sense of humor. You are always learning and searching for understanding.

You Are a Spoon

You are a well rounded, balanced person. You are friendly and welcoming. You get along with everyone. You are easy going and laid back. You don't have any hang ups. Non judgmental and accepting, you are a comfort to people around you.

What Utensil Are You?

Oddly enough both show truth.

Can't believe this!

WHAT KIND OF FRIEND AM I???? I totally had thought that my BFF's birthday was today and it was {BLUSH} SATURDAY past!!!

Here's to Shannon - HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY!! I hope you had a great day!
