Pictures.

There are few things in life that I attach the word "need" to. I've been content with what I have. Sure here and there I say I want a few things, never really needed much then the necessities. Now though I think I can safely say I need a new camera.

I used to have a camera. It was a beautiful Canon, with just the right amount of optical zoom and whatnot for me to play with. It was a great deal, if I remember correctly I purchased it 80% off the original price and received free shipping. It was a great deal for a great camera. It lasted me a wonderful two years, there when

Then it broke. I still don't know what's wrong with it. It was shuffled in the move between starter town house and starter farm house, left in a corner of my office for a while. I thought it was safe. One day I tried to turn it on and nothing happened. I charged the batteries, popped them back in. Still nothing worked. Sad day.

I find it kind of funny that my camera had a shorter life then my laptop. This HP has been dropped so many times, and I wish I could say otherwise. It's been with me since the middle of my senior year of high school. Three years later, besides running a little slower, it's trucking along just fine (knock on wood).

I've been able to take pictures here and there. This laptop has a webcam, and for my sister's graduation gift I found her a really good deal on another Canon. She lets me borrow it from time to time. I used to have a phone that had a camera, that did me some good for a while too. It's just not enough anymore.

On Shutterfly I catch deals for free magnets, books, prints and cards, but I never have any good pictures! I have picture frames sitting empty in my office. On Facebook, my newest picture is from easily over a year ago. I have a puppy that's now half a dog, and I'm missing the documentation chances. Weird malformed candy I find I can only snap pictures of with my webcam. My favorite cat died a month ago and I don't have a single picture of him. I have a baby in June, and I don't have even a camera phone for it's first picture in my arms. I can't add my own pictures to this blog.

I think I need to find someone to buy me a camera as a baby gift. Or make a trade with my sister, she really wants something that plays music again since my last iPod was literally played to death by her. Hmmm, that's a plan!
