my BIG purchase

My sister is impulsive. She buys purses like she's Paris Hilton. She is a t-shirt-and-Nike-shorts kind of girl, but somehow she has a much more impressive wardrobe than I do... which is pretty unfortunate, considering she just moved out. Bye-bye, cute clothes, earrings, and purses that I've been using for the past 2 years... Sad day. Sigh.

Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that I am not impulsive by any stretch of the imagination. I'm a saver. She's a spender. I like to look at my savings account and see a good chunk of change in it. It makes me feel good about life. I like knowing that I can buy something if I want to. I wonder if Katie even has a savings account?

She's getting annoyed reading this. Katie, come back. I miss you... (and your clothes.)


So last night I did a very difficult thing for me. I pretty much depleted my savings account. It was so hard. I hesitated. Twice. At least. But now that I'm (almost) over my pretty-much-nonexistent-savings-account, I'm getting pretty pumped about my prize.

I bought a Canon Rebel T1i Digital SLR camera. WAHOO!! I'm pretty dadgum excited about it. I ordered it, so I won't get it for a few more days, but ohhh buddy I'm ready to take some pictures. I've been reading about apertures, shutter speeds, and ISO speeds. That makes me feel cool. Not that I have any idea what I'm doing. I mean, I'm qualified to hold a camera. That's about it. I'm excited to learn though! Matt even bought me a photography magazine... and a milkshake that gave me a stomachache, but that's another story.

So, there ya go, Mama. I posted a new blog for ya.

And if anyone was considering stealing my identity, don't bother. I ain't got nothin' in the bank.
