Camper

Liz and I are official owners of a 15' Fleetwood Yukon travel trailer. Can you believe it? We can't!! Seems crazy to us. We feel like we could go anywhere and everywhere.

It's a 1988 - older but super cute. It technically sleeps 5 but one of the 5 is a fold down bunk bed but it's also used as storage. So we're of course keeping it as storage becuase no one except a freakin small child could fit there.

It's got a fridge, stove, oven, couch that folds to bed, sitting area that folds to bed, and a small bathroom plus cabinets for storage. It has a good layout for such a small space.

We had an adventure the past two weeks to actually acquire this camper and an even bigger one tonight trying to get it home, which I'll write about later.

I can't wait to camp in it with the fam.

First real post

I have kept a journal at livejournal.com since 2001. I've had this login for blogger since about 2004. I've decided I feel like I want to test out blogger.com ... I've read some blogs and I get a good vibe from the community. So, first real post.

I have very exciting news - it is that I bought a new camera, a Nikon D80. I bought it along with 3 lenses and some other cool stuff. It arrived on Friday evening but I haven't been online to update with the wonderful news. It's been really exciting to use. I love it. I've taken some pictures, hopefully I'll be able to post them soon.

I am in the computer lab at my school waiting for Melissa to pick me up instead of having Liz come back to get me. She's getting out of work late. Anyway, this guy just calls someone, and loud as fuck, as if he were at home, he says hello to the person on the other end. Currently, he is proceeding to talk to this person in a very loud voice. Jesus Christ you fuckin idiots. I don't mind you ignoring the "no talking on cell phones" bulletin, posted through out this lab, that is, if you use your fuckin indoor voice!! OMG I shouldn't have to hear your whole entire conversation.

Somtimes, I swear, people urk my nerves!

I read Rosie's blog daily and daily I post questions or comments to her. She has this section on the blog where you can post comments or questions and whenever she feels like it, she'll answer some of them. She gets hundreds daily, so I never expect a response, but I hope for it. About two weeks ago she responded to two of my questions (on the same day!) but they were just random. I was so excited that she responded though. How cool is that?

Then today she responded to another one! This time it was a comment I made to her about my new camera because she also has the D80 and has a few other DSLR's as well. I love it that she responded!

I've liked Rosie ever since I was 11 and saw A League of Their Own. I love that she speaks her mind and I love the company she helped Kelli and Greg start and I love that she is devoted to kids and her family. I think she has great morals and I think her opinions of the war are right on target. I'm not saying she's perfect - please, who the hell is? But I like her. Like her a lot.

And I think it's super cool she's responded to me 3 times!
