Normal 'happy' stuff...

Just so you guys don't think I sit around dreaming up cynical thoughts to blog, I'll give you more of a nuts-n-bolts update.

Just before Xmas, our garbage disposal broke. Today I finally got around to buying and installing a new one. It's the first I've ever installed. Maybe the last too, but I'm proud of myself all the same.

Also...

Sometime a few weeks ago, I did a bonehead thing. Left my digital cam on the roof of my car and drove off - never to see that camera again. Today, I did not buy a new camera, but have begun to shop around. Like many of you, Xmas takes it's toll and it'll be awhile before I can afford to buy the replacement. The lost cam was a high-end pocket model for it's time. Bought it in the fall of 02. Minolta F100 4 megapixel. Most of the pix on my profile and Flickr account were taken with it. BTW, if anyone found an F100 in a black semi-hardshell case, please email me! Lol - right! That'll happen.

Anyway, I've been considering stepping up to a full-on digital SLR. Better photo quality. Harder to lug around. Decisions.

Karmically , I'm probably doing okay. I received a free promotional Senseo coffee maker a few weeks back. And apparently, I entered a web contest for a free pair of high-end earbud headphones. Forgot all about it, but got an email. Lucky me.

Hope you all have a great New Years! Smoke a fattie for me, or have a drink. Whatever. Just be save and get the sober sucker to drive.
