New Camera!

I got a new camera today! I went to Inkley's with my mom to buy film for a super fantastic camera that she has. Sadly no one makes film anymore :-( But walking in the door was a table of camera's on sale. Clearenced for who knows why. So I found an 8.1 mega pixle Sony Cybershot camera on the table for 180.00 which was a pretty decent deal since the new 9-10 mega pixle cameras are running around 250-265ish. So I went up to see how much the camera i liked was, because it didn't have a price on it. That is when i found out it was such a good deal. So i walked around a little thought about it and decided I would buy it. So I bought it and a new memory card, because sony is lame and has special memory cards for there cameras. You can't use general SD memory cards with it. So i get home to play with my camera, the battery is dead which I get because it is new and hasn't been charged yet but I can't figure out how to charge it. So i read the instructions and figure out I am missing the battery charger!! I also realized the guy sold me the wrong memory card and that it wouldn't fit in the camera! I was totally bummed. It's alot of money to spend on something I don't have all the pieces for. So my mom and I drove back down to the store and asked the guy for the missing pieces. The sales man there wasn't the sales man I worked with before but he recognized me from before. Which was nice because he knew I was just in there a few hours earlier. So the guy went to check and see if there was another camera on the sale table with a charger in it and there wasn't. So he said that he would sell me a new camera for the same price. I looked at an 8.1 megapixle Nikon Cool Pix that was actually about the same price as the sale camera. And it turns out the camera was better quality and brand new off the shelf. So I got it and returned everything else for a better product. I love my new camera. It's sweeeeet. So this is one of the pictures I took to test out the camera. the other ones above this are test pictures too!

Caring Neighbors, who knew?

Last night was a bit freaky. My boy friend stayed over late last night after a friends birthday party. He had my apartment keys so he could get in and not wake me up. Soo He got home around 12:30ish was super quite I only heard him open my bedroom door which is saying alot because usually you can hear the front door open and close. Soo I was happy to see him and we got in bed. Around 1:15 am the door bell rang. My initial instinct is that it is a couple of doorbell ditchers and I will just let it be because really who knocks at 1am!? But then I saw lights flashing under my bedroom door and I was scared that someone came in. I didn't hear doors open or anything but the lights were bright and intermittent. So my boy friend and I walk out of my bed room and hear, "Salt Lake Police Department" Instantly I was ?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!? freaked out. They were in the door way staring into my apartment. So I walked over and was like, can I help you with something and they told me that our door was wide open with the lights off for the last hour or so and that the neighbors called the cops to come check it out. So here I was standing in my pj's totally bewildered with a flashlight shinning on my face. Having all these thoughts running through my head about what could have been taken from my place and who walked by when the door was open. I told the police men that the door can pop open some times if it isn't pulled shut properly. I looked at my boy friend and asked him if he closed it all the way when he got home. He didn't know that the door kind of pops out of the latch when you close it. He said he thought he closed it but instantly I knew he didn't double check it. Soo everything was fine. The police men didn't harass us to find out if we really lived in my apartment. Which I am very grateful for. My boy friend felt bad. He was glad nothing happened but was worried about if it could have.

So I am very thankful we have wonderful neighbors, although I am not sure which ones, that called to make sure everything was ok.

The kicker, all the while this is happening, my roommate slept. Didn't hear the door bell, didn't get out of bed. Nothing. Some times being a light sleeper is a blessing and a curse.
