What a Day


What a busy day this has been. It started out by getting up early and going to the gym. Boy am I dedicated or what? After the gym I rushed home and showered to get ready for my interview. The interview went great. I really like this agency and it has some great potential for moving up. It may be a couple weeks before I hear anything, so until that time I am going to enjoy my time off.


After my interview I rushed home to visit with Laura for a few minutes before she was off to a meeting. While Laura and I were talking we were talking about my visit to the casino tomorrow. We are suppose to get snow so she suggested I go today. I thought that was a fabulous idea. So off to the casino I went.

It was weird because I was there for about 90 minutes when I realized I was losing no money and in fact was coming out ahead. I also realized I was getting bored. So I took my money (by this point it was the same amount I had gone with) and headed home. It was then I decided that the money I didn't loose at the casino I could buy myself something with it. And there is something I have been wanting for a long time.

The picture in this post is a small hint. Yes I bought myself a new camera. My other one was just fine, but I wanted one that has a zoom lens and where I could take up close pictures that looked good.

After dinner with Laura and some grocery shopping I found the camera I wanted. My old camera is a Kodak camera and I wanted to stick with that so I could use the same memory card and software. This new camera is a 7.1 mega pixels. I am so excited.

I am off to take more pictures......

Well, now I'm jealous! You have bigger mega pixels than I do!! Congratulations!

Yes, good luck on the job. I hope you find one that is really good for you. I think you'll enjoy the variety of clients you'll see at this one. I always liked having a variety of clients, tasks, whatever. Kept me from being bored!

I'm wearing my eyes out reading the flight schedules! I'll call tomorrow.

Yay we get lots of photos now! You were very smart to do that. I was so bored in the Casino in Milwaukee and disappointed. It just wasn't what I thought it would be!
Good luck on the job :)

Good luck with the job! It looks like you are already enjoying your new camera. I'm aching for a new one too, but my old one will have to do for now.
