Shopping...

I did something I don't ordinarily do. I went shopping

I don't mean shopping. 

I mean SHOPPING

I finally received my settlement.

While the majority went into a savings account

I had a new roof but on, paid off any outstanding bills

and put enough aside to redo the kitchen, laundry room

and upstairs bath.

I decided to treat myself to some nice things

(not without guilt, I might add)

I bought this amazing Canon EOS Rebel t1i camera

and...

I am still waiting delivery of the 

telephoto lens

I bought some cute shoes at ALDO

which I never would have

walk into before 

I shopped at Lord and Taylor

for the first time in my life!

bought 2 dress', 1 skirt and 1 shall 

(not even on sale)

OMG !

my heart pounded while paying

felt like a sin

I also picked up some odds and ends for the Tim and the

kids

Hell, they have suffered right along with me

due to my neck injuries

It was really fun and exciting to live as a rich

person for 1 weekend, but I had my fun

and now it's back to reality 

I took many pictures this weekend with my new camera. I am still learning to use all the features. The color and clarity of these photos is amazing even though

I will need to play with it for a while

This picture, I zoomed in from afar

and it is crystal clear. Just wait until my

telephoto lens to arrive, then you'll

be able to see TJ's eye color from across the field

Friends on a Saturday afternoon

Monkey see monkey do

I bought Karrick all new summer clothes 

from the Gap

Check out his cute Linen clam diggers

Go White Sox!

Yes, Buttercup even reaped the rewards
