{{tap*tap}} Is this thing on?? ;)

Have you seen this?? The sassy new bag from drop it Modern!! I admit...I just recently found diM backdrops {embarrassed...how did I not know about these??}..and I've been drooling over all the fabulous designs and now this??! A fabulous Carry-All bag!! Big enough for all those diM backdrops I will have one day (*sigh*) and there's even a convenient spot for a small reflector on either side! Handy!

You know you want it. :) How could you not, right??

Babbling, Rambling...the usual. :)

A little warning...I might gush shamelessly about Stephen Lynch in this post. Yeh...I'm gonna...be prepared. Sooo...I went to the Stephen Lynch show that I was so excited about a couple weeks ago. I was a little worried that the anticipation that I had for the weekend might set me up for disappointment. I was wrong. It.was.AWESOME!! I laughed from the minute he walked on-stage and might have finally stopped by the time we got home. Mr. Lynch brought out a couple of his friends, JoBurg and Rod, who were absolutely incredible! JoBerg is not only hilarious but he can wail! What a voice on that man! Gees! (Not dissing Mr. Lynch...his voice is awesome as well...that goes without saying, right?) The three of them play off of each other so well...it killed me! I laughed so hard I was in tears and in pain...and I loved it! They played right to every child of the 80's. Totally awesome, dude. heehee! And did I mention that our seats were fabulous?? Cuz they were. And I was in good company, too. Bonus! It was seriously a night that I will never forget. My only regret...I left my camera in the car. I didn't think they were allowed. So imagine the look on my face when, right before the show started, they made an announcement that photography was "encouraged." DOH!! Heartbreak! iCry. Oh well...no matter. I don't have photos but I have the best memories. It was divine. I highly recommend catching a Stephen Lynch show when you get the chance.

Moving on...guess what I got for Mother's Day...go 'head...guess!! {pausing...waiting for a guess...} My hub got me a new camera!! Uh huh...he did!! I've always been a Canon chick but had started toying with the idea of trying out a Nikon a few years ago. Sooo...he took the plunge for me and surprised me with a brand new Nikon D5000! Woohoo!! Now if I can just figure this puppy out!! (And if I can keep my sister from stealing it...hehe!!) I haven't had the chance to really play with it yet. Icky weather and sick kiddos. eww. But soon...soon I'm heading out on a photography roadtrip to play!! And maybe, just maybe, I'll talk some of my fam and/or friends into modeling for me. (Bribery might have to happen.) Can't wait to play!! eeeee!!!

Summing it up: Stephen Lynch....I heart him muchly. New camera...awesomeness...need to play. Here's a pic of my sweet Sydney that I snapped with the Nikon...(edited using 'vintage action' by photoshop stock)...thanks for stopping by!! mwah! :)
