hello beautiful

for years i have been swooning over dslr cameras.

for nine months i have been saving.  christmas, birthday, etsy shoppe earnings.

i had a plan.  i would have the money in hand to purchase a new camera this winter.  but my old camera had other plans.  it died last week.  after weeks of being finicky about turning on, it said a final farewell months ahead of schedule.  oh well .  (insert sheepish grin here.)  i don't feel at all bad about buying this on credit.  half of the money was there.  the rest will be soon.  i worked hard so far to make it happen.  and i will keep on working (now with this beauty in hand).  and apparently with my pinkie finger raised in the air. 

and to top it off, this afternoon i got my first haircut in nine months too.  loving the cleaned up ends and the extra bounce from new layers.  told you yesterday's photo would soon be dated.
