Re: i am so bored

  • I have lots of work, but just want to sit here and cry instead...

    Lets entertain each other instead of me crying and/or working.

    I got a new camera this weekend.  That is something exciting/to look forward to.  I ordered fun stuff for it (a cute bag https://www.etsy.com/transaction/48428468 and some other fun stuff including a book to help me learn how to use it better).

    What kind of camera did you get? I got my DSLR almost a year ago and i love it!

    I am bored also, I have tons of house work I should be doing, and I should go to the gym, but instead I am sitting here watching The Blindside.

  • I got a Nikon D3100.  A DSLR but not a super expensive/exciting one.  I got it with my Marriott points (you can use your points to shop sky mall).  So it was free.  Until I started buying all the other stuff.  DH was saying this free camera is going to end up being expensive if I keep buying accessories for it.  He hasn't figured out that I am going to want another lense for it either yet...

    Ours has a pretty automatic option.  You turn it to "P" and then point, push the button half-way down to focus and then the rest of the way down to take a picture.  You can turn it to other settings and do special things on manual.  MH is good with it.  I on the other hand, usually just set it to "P".

    As for lunch, I vote for french fries!

    They have different settings that you can use until you learn to use it in manual. It isn't very hard to learn a DSLR, I got mine last July and I was using it completely in manual with in two months.

    I think you should have fried chicken for lunch, I so miss fried food.

  • I should be doing work. but allergies and or a cold are kicking my as*s right now. I feel like crap.

    I want a DSLR so bad. DH has one for work but he wont let me use it. BIL has one but keeps it in his cruiser. I have a point and shoot i just broke (my 4th one) and a nicer point and shoot. I love taking pictures.

    Worms - for lunch - do you have a panera near you - I am not sure if they have those in the city or not....anything within walking distance?

    I am going home to sit in the sun and take a load off and do some laundry.

  • I'm bored because I have no work.  The end of the month is always a pretty slow time for me.  It makes for very very long days.

    That is too funny! Yea I bought mine with some left over birthday money last year and by the time I was done buying accessories and lenses I had almost put us in the poor house. It is addictive!

  • thanks for the camera info.  i love taking pics (i use a point and shoot digital) and was actually yearbook photographer in HS and college.  i just haven't bit the bullet and got a DSLR.

    how much do they run?  any recs?

    and fried chicken and french fries sound delish but will mess with my IBS (it may worth it)

    It depends on if you want a super fancy model or not. I got a middle of the road camera, but got it refurbished so I got a bit of a deal on it. I am personally a Canon girl, so that is what I would recommend (sorry Meg). They can run any where from 600 to a couple thousand depending on the model.

  • Not offended at all beadinglady :)  I would have gotten a Canon if that would have been an option in my "points" price range.  The only cannon they had was 50000 more points then I had and i didn't want to wait any longer!

  • I shouldn't be bored, but I am.

    We weren't home last week really- at all. It was a nightmare crazy whirlwind week. And the house and laundry reflects it! Gotta get motivated soon! Although I'd rather just bump and then take a nap. I'm exhausted/drained.

    Married '02, TTC May '05
