it has been an easy week, but i am still delighted it is friday. and the official email has just been sent that tuesday shall be a national day of mourning, so our offices shall be closed. it is probably inappropriate to go “wheeeee” right? but a 4-day-weekend! joy!

i will try to be relaxed, but it is slightly difficult. today betsy left town in a rented Grand Prix to drive a few hundred miles into oklahoma to go visiting. her only driving experience has been in our beatermobile around town. i taught her how to do cruise control this morning. she was a little nervous driving over 55 and fascinated by how quickly the car would STOP and GO. drooling over the CD player. etc. omigod. just relax mama. she will drive on small roads, which are slower, but only 2 lanes. i’m really trying not to think about it too much. i sent a cloud of protection with her and my fingers are crossed. what else is there to do?

am ready to settle down into a new year. there has been too much overindulgence this month and i am weary of both eating and spending. luckily we are running out of money, so now i can concentrate on cleaning and artmaking. i have been making prepared board books and playing with lots of new images. some film! i want to re-make my website, but am unsure how exactly to proceed. what i want to share. i have bought two new cameras. one i got roped into via the Olympus trade-in program. two cameras boxed up and ready to trade in, felt rather appalled at the trade-in estimates, and then i wondered if i could do better on eBay, so i listed them, my first listings ever.

my Canon A620 and my Lumix FZ3. both are as sweet as pie. if they don’t sell in the next 3 or so days, i will trade them in for the tiny Olympus spycam i found. and the new Lumix FZ7 is in the mail. oboy. i am so BAD. oh MY!!! i just went to find the links and the Lumix is sold! my Lucia! i don’t know if i am happy or sad. i thought i would keep her for a backup, because i loved carrying her, but oh!

anyway, i was surprised how easy eBay is. Amazon would not let me list the Canon. i know there are fees at eBay. everyone fusses about it. but it is convenient and sometimes that is quite worth some fees. now i *really* want to clean out the basement and the cedar chest! there are treasures…
