A lot of time went into this photo shoot friends. I drove around in circles for quite some time (I'm sorry planet). I was looking for the perfect backdrop. You know. One that matched my outfit. Ultimately I gave up and pretty much ended right where I started. So the backdrops don't necessarily match my outfit. But I think it turned out okay. And I am completely obsessed with my Microsoft Publisher trial.

Warning: shameless horn-tooting ahead! I have extraordinary skills luck finding jackets that fit me exactly right at thrift shops. Like the one you see above. And the one you see here. Not only do I have a gift for finding perfect-fitting treasures, but I am also ridiculously bargain savvy. Sometimes I feel bad about my gift. And consider using it for the greater good. Just kidding. When it comes to shopping, I take more of a survival of the fittest kind of attitude. Anyways. Moral of this extremely modest story: the jean jacket you see above, fitting me like perfection cost me $4 folks. Less than my Starbucks. Not buying it would have been just wrong.

So. Remember how bad things happened yesterday? When I stayed in my house all day. Well. Even worse things happend today. When I left the house. I did the worst thing. But it was the best thing ever. Just like yesterday. But much worse. But so so much better. OK. Enough already. I bought a new camera. It's beautiful. It was much more than the $40 wedges from yesterday. It's a Canon PowerShot XS30 IS. It's 14.1 megapixals. My old camera was 4.0 megapixals. And it's beautiful. Enough Said. Did I mention I also bought a tripod? Because I did. And they are (to my amazement) not cheap. And I may have bought a memory card. But it's 8x bigger than my old one. I know, I know. Day one of unemployment has been extraordinarily expensive. And unemployment and extraordinarily expensive should not be used in the same sentence. Twice.

After a fleeting moment of buyer's remorse, I was over it. Might as well use my new (expensive) toy. So I took myself for a nice autumn stroll. I have some practice to do using the tripod and self-timer. Among other things. Please be patient.

I had to throw in that ridiculous jumping pic. Because I look goofy. I'm not the most coordinated person. This pic doesn't give that away does it?

Ha!

Who else noticed the dent in the toe of my boot? That's what you get for buying $70 boots from The Bay. Don't worry (because I know you are), I can pop that puppy right back out. That's quality for you folks. Quality.

I think my color scheme is similar to that of a medley of fall berries. I see my outfit and smell cinnamon, cloves and a hint of raspberry. Oh wait. That's my delicious smelling air freshener. Ooops.

On that note, good night friends!
