Sipin' on some decaf.......

Here I am again, up at the butt crack of dawn. The night before last I slept the ENTIRE night, if you can believe that. I blame it on the amazing prenatal yoga class at Yoga Yoga and the oh-so-delicious tofu vermicelli with lemongrass and steamed broccoli from Pho Thai Son. Last night, however, no yoga took place, and I over did it at The Root Cellar in lovely downtown San Marcos, stuffing my face with their Cellar Carbonara and Snickerdoodle Bread Pudding. (so worth it!). Anyhow, here I am, sippin' on some decaf, fulfilling my commitment to blog when I wake up and can't go back to sleep. Kinda wish I had save my leftovers and not given them to Sean...

It was so wonderful to see my Rowdy Girls from SMHS last night. I miss them so much. The support and camaraderie I received from those ladies by far surpasses what support, if any, I get at Crockett. If I knew I could live in San Marcos and not be bored, I'd probably move there in a hear beat. They do have a Target now and there's even a new one in Kyle! But I wouldn't have my AP connections, my midwives, or my home group, not to mention my sister. Yet it is only 30 mins. away from A-town...sigh...if only we'd bought that house. There's a reason for all this, I must keep reminding myself.

When I returned last night it was COOOOOLD. Samito wanted out like the crazy kitty he is, so of course, I proceeded to open the front door for him. When I did that, I noticed a package on the doorstep. I brought it in thinking, "what the hell did I buy? Or did Sean buy me something and I'm not supposed to know? (fat chance)". Of course I opened it! Low and behold, there was a Canon RebelXS EOS camera from my papi!!! I had told him I wanted a nice digital 35mm camera to begin taking pictures and to later capture Stella Grace, but I had no idea he'd get it for me this soon or at all, for that matter. But he did! And I am thrilled. And I have a lot to learn. And I will need help. And a macro lense. But it's all good, for I am so ready to start shooting and practicing! I can't wait to post pictures on my blog now! If I could just learn to pimp it...

So I'm now going to use this early morning time to begin learning how to shoot great pictures by going to this site that helped me choose the camera to begin with: The Pioneer Woman. She has amazing recipes, but what's more, she has a fabulous, easy-to-read section on photography that just makes plane sense. Here I go....!
