...and raring to go!!!
Well, the conference is finally over and done with. I am happy to say that it wasn't as bad as I initially thought it would be. So yeah, I did work my ass off every single day. Yeah, our day started early and ended late every single day. Yeah, it wasn't like I could rest at night because I still had to do my homework for the next day. But it was all good! First off, it still turned out to be an absolute gastronomical orgasm. I swear, every meal was heaven and I ate sooo much that even Mr. S commented that my ass grew in five days. LOL!!! And I've also gained so much professionally that I can't wait to go to work tomorrow and start on some of the stuff I've learned. Amazing, isn't it? But more importantly, I think, I made some really good friends over the past five days. Now I know that I can go and visit Singapore, Malaysia, China, Taiwan, Thailand, India and Indonesia and know that I have friends to see. Oh yeah, it was all good alright!
And NOW! Let me just share with y'all that Mrs. S got herself a new toy...my Canon Digital Rebel XT! Wooohooooo!!! Yep, got my baby last Thursday, and I have been tinkering with it since Friday night when I got home from the conference. Man, it is an absolute delight!!! I've always had the point-and-shoot kind of camera before, so this is my first dive into SLRs. No matter, because I am learning so much! And even on full auto mode, I am able to take fantastic shots! This morning, I tried using some of its other creative modes and it's just amazing how different the same shot comes out to.
Here are some photos I took over the weekend. You may want to click on the images so you can get a bigger picture and see its awesome clarity.



Not bad eh? LOL!!! Even Mr. S is impressed (with the camera, not with me...LOL!). Which is good because he "donated" to the Help-Mrs.S-Get-A-New-Camera fund and was critical to its early success. Now I'm setting up the Help-Mrs.S-Get-A-New-Lens fund. LOL!!! I can't wait till Chloe visits us so I can take tons of photos!
Ok, so it's back to scrapping for me. I got Tania's and Robin's latest kits and am so looking forward to making layouts again. Maybe when I get some pages done today, I could post it here for y'all.
Unless I get distracted by my new baby again. LOL!!!
