11/24

I'm now 29, another year closer to 30.  There are many surprises in store for this year and I can't wait!  We had dinner at my parents house where my dad made this lovely birthday drawing.  My mom cooked a feast big enough for 20 people, except there were only five of us there.  It was all delicious, my favorite was the cake.  Then last night we headed to dinner at Cafe Brazil to celebrate.  If you haven't been there and you like Brazilian food, you should check it out.  Yum!  They have a rum bar if you are a rum-dum-dandy kind of person.

I also got some lovely presents.  Some new shoes from Austin because he is sick of me wearing my tattered old ones and a camera from my parents.  People, this is the coolest camera ever!  This morning I woke up, read through the manual (which isn't much help) and got online to find a book specifically for this camera.  Problem is, all the books for the G11 version are not out yet.  I'm not going to know what all these fancy buttons can do for months!  I will not be letting my camera live up to its potential.  I guess I'll just be doing some experimenting till I can get my hands on a book.
