What was I waiting for?!

Hello!?! Digital cameras. I've been stuck in the dark ages with my 35mm thinking it was fun to get a surprise when the pictures were developed. Are you kidding me?! 3 trips to Costco to drop it off, pick it up, find out it's not there or I'm too early, and then back again. THEN all the lousy shots that were taken and didn't turn out right. Digital...instant gratification and you KNOW if the picture sucks and you need to take another. Oh, and did I mention I can send my order to Walgreens at any stinking hour of the day and then pick it up at my leisure?! What a delight. And you only have to print the ones you want or have the money for. WooHoo!

Tasha and Kyra each got a camera for Christmas. (thanks mom!) This was out of neccessity so I could keep my sanity. I think Tasha is a future photographer and wanted to use mine ALL the time. It's new though, and I'm not letting my 3 year old bounce around the house with it. Here's the low-down...my camera (probably the most expensive) came with the capacity to hold 8 photos. Kyra's, a Kodac (yes, the camera people!), can hold 20. Tasha's, the super tough, built to withstand a toddler's dropping, kicking, throwing, and dunking comes with the memory to hold like 900 pictures. Fisher-Price is KING! (or QUEEN?!) Leave it to a toy company to realize what we really need in a product. Hmm, maybe those camera people just need you to purchase more stuff, like memory cards. Well, I got one of those in my stocking (thanks Babe for telling me to open that first!) and life is all better now! I guess I just need to learn to download now...I'm so spoiled.
