Well, today was a little hectic. Sorry for only one post today. I suppose it is busy for most people, it is the day before Thanksgiving after all!

My morning started with a green monster..

I drank about half, I didn’t have much of an appetite this morning! I actually had a group interview for a job and when my nerves are high, my appetite is way low.

My sister drove and Leo came along. After my interview we ran errands then headed home to pack up for our trip! When I got home, I was starving and I remembered that this was in my freezer..

Thankfully, Adam got home early so we were able to pack and get on the road earlier then we thought. But first, we had to head to Super Target for a few essentials. We picked up items to make pies for tomorrow (yay baking!)and I make a mean apple pie.

I also had to pick up an early graduation present for myself from my mom..

The Nikon D3000.

Okay okay okay, I know it seems EVERYONE is getting a DSLR. I suppose it’s true but honestly, I have wanted one for at least three years. My Dad was great and got me an SLR style point and shoot but I really felt like it was time for an upgrade. This isn’t a spur of the moment decision, it’s been years people..and I am SO excited. I was between this and the Canon for a while, but they seemed pretty even, and this one just felt perfect in my hands. It’s the smallest Nikon DSLR and is not heavy at all, it will be very easy to take with me places. My sister was so sweet and bought me an SDHC memory card as a graduation present. I even got this super cute camera bag as a gift for myself!

I couldn’t resist. I love it. I wanted a bag that I would want to carry around.

I had a glass of wine once we got to the hotel. Our suite is great! It’s designed for extended stay guests. Full kitchen with an oven and full sized refrigerator! Pretty nice, if we had everything we needed here we would just make the pies in the morning. Oh well, I would have taken more pictures of it but it was pretty messy by the time I got to it. We had a lot of stuff! Or maybe I had a lot of stuff? Oh well..better to over pack then under pack..right?

Dinner didn’t happen until 10:30! We ordered pizza and salads.

These photos were with my old camera, the new one was still charging..

I nursed this glass of wine along with another one after dinner..

I requested veggies..I had these plus one more slice..(maybe even had some garlic butter)..

Side salad with Italian dressing.

By this time, my camera had charged so I had some fun..

I had a little fun, tomorrow I am only baking the pie and so I will have plenty of time to read and play with it..I have lots to learn. I know you may be rolling your eyes since it’s just one more person with a DSLR..but I am really excited about it. So yay!!
