So after work today I just miss the bus. Happens too often but meh… I usually check out Chapters til the next one comes. As I go to the craft section, this comes in right in front of my view:

I completely had this omg-omg-omg moment. I actually used to cross stitch all time which I was pregnant with my boys. And of course my obsession for the undead made this the perfect thing for me. But I was strong and didn’t buy it. I’m trying to save more and be more responsible with my money. Honestly….. I’ll probably just buy it on payday anyways. Friday can’t come fast enough.

Also I thought I’d throw in some site updates as well:

• New affiliate Ashley at iron-glass.org
• Add a page for my pets
• Made of list of movies I want to see this summer
• Added a Button Wall of sites that I like

I’m also working on a new theme as well. I’m taking my sweet time with it but hopefully it’ll be up within the next couple weeks. Also look for some vlogs coming soon. I’ll warn you though… I tend to be awkward in front of the camera, but really it’ll just make it all that more entertaining.

And to finish this randomness entry, pics that will hopefully post this time:

Haha I should actually check my site more often, turns out I double posted and the pics actually worked…. you can check them out in a post below.

Hehe, project camera is now over. I got the one I wanted earlier this week. The best part is that I paid for half of it with loose change!

I had been wanting to cash in my loose change for awhile. I had pennies, nickels, dimes, etc. I was hoping to get $40ish out of it so it would cover the tax for my camera. Well wasn’t it to my surprise that after I was all done it came to $103.53! I couldn’t believe it. So now I’m a huge believer in saving every penny.

I don’t really have much else to say since it’s 11 pm, I just finished work, and I have to do some write up on my foster kitties. Tomorrow I’ll post some site updates and things I’ve been working on. Till then here are some pics I took with my new camera. None have been edited…. all done with settings on the camera:

Edit: My computer is now being stupid….. grr pics up tomorrow as well.

Pic of me, I like how this one turned out

Playing with the colour settings... yay for dirty mirrors.

Using the 'flower' setting, from my garden

Hey everyone. Well I’ve been saving and debating and I’m getting closer to a new camera.

Today I went out to celebrate Father’s Day with my Dad, and of course naturally spent it at Future Shop. I got my Dad some hard drive thingy for one of his many computers lol. I got looking at cameras and decided to get the PowerShot SD1400 IS. Insert pretty picture here:

Of course I’m going to pick the pink one hehe. I really like the fact it has HD video, many pic features, and it’s compact enough to take anywhere. They also had it on sale there for $219 which I believe is $50 off. I was really excited and made a decision…. only to find out they didn’t have any in stock, in any colour. They’re getting some on Tues and I put my name is to get a pink one.

I guess it’s really a good thing becuase it gives me more time to think about it. I usually don’t make big purchases like this and want to make sure I’m making the right decision. Also I still need to go and cash in my change and see how much that will contribute. But I have accomplished:

• No fast food or extra purchases (my husbands been paying for pizza lol)
• Set aside some money on payday
• Got birthday money from my Dad (Thank you )
• Switched TV providers and lowered our bill

So I’m doing good. So far selling things on Ebay is a bust. I might post some things for sale on here for fairly cheap. It’s just movies and video games etc. So yeah…. Hopefully Tues I’ll have a new camera to post about. Til then byes.

I saw this on =3 and just had to post it:

It made me smile.

Well rather than talking about some random nothingness, I figure I would actual update about my life….

Today Jay and I went out shopping. We received out HST cheque. (Which is some extra money the government is throwing at us to make up for the fact they’re raising the taxes… but who am I to complain? :)) I’ve been wanting a camera for a very long time, ever since mine broke last year. But that’s a want…. and there are things we need more. So today we splurged and got a new monitor. It was something we needed since I was spending 10 min at a time hitting the old one to get it to work. We went to 4 different stores and the last one we went to (The Source) had one for $99. It’s actually really nice, and 18 inch I think? But it really got me thinking and my newest project… Project Camera

Pretty much I’m going to be scrounging, budgeting, and saving for a new camera. It’s something I really miss having. I miss taking pics of the boys and pets. I also really want to start vlogging as well. So my game plan is:

• Set aside $25 – $50 every pay
• Collect all the change in the house (and there is a lot!)
• Sell a few things on Ebay and Kijiji
• Try to lower our monthly bills by another $100
• No extra purchases or fast food!

Money has always been something I’ve struggled with, especially saving. But I think this will be a great learning point. I’ve learned a lot over the last few years and have gained some good skills. Time to put them to the test.

As for what camera I’m getting… I’m not 100% sure. I’m still doing a lot of research. But I looked around a lot today and to get something with the features I want I’m looking at about $250. So wish me luck and I’ll keep you posted. Well that’s about it for now, I closed at work tonight and have to be there again first thing in the morning so I’m off to sleepy land. Night everyone.

This is a really cute video a friend shared on FaceBook. It made me smile and I just had to share it:

Partly Cloudy from Dan Graham on Vimeo.

the little short before Up

in which, a good-hearted but slightly dull-witted cloud god creates all sorts of lovely babies for his tired old stork.

I helped edit the animation. Please don’t delete this?

Where to start? Well this isn’t anything Academy Award winning but this is a great fun movie. Made in 1988 I watched it as a kid. Watching it again recently was just as fun.

It’s set in the Valley. Valerie is a engaged nail technician who has a UFO land in her pool. Three aliens emerge and the fun continues from there. It’s definitely a corny romantic comedy. And very 80s hehe. But it has a really cute love story to it, plus some catchy songs.

So if you’re looking for something silly and very retro, check this one out.

Well it’s June, which means summer is pretty much upon us. One downside to summer…. nothing on tv! So I’ve decided to start a summer watching list. You can view it here.

I’m a huge movie fan. Mostly horror and drama, but really I’ll give anything a try.  So this is going to be a list of movies I want to watch over this summer. Once I have the chance I’ll add trailers and hopefully some small reviews.

Also if anyone has any suggestions please comment! I’ll give anything a try. It could be a new movie or an old one. It could be even something I’ve seen before. So get suggesting hehe. Til later byes for now.
