Eep. There's some wicked lighting flashing out the window and a hell of a lot of thunder so I might just disapear this evening. I hope it's not before I can post my entry! (cringes) Damn, lighting in florida is a scary thing. We're like the number two in the WORLD for lighting strikes. We're the lighting capital of the US and only some remote location in the Outback of Australia tops us. (translation: Lighting is dangerous shit around here)
Woke up this morning uber sick to my stomach. Ugh. Nothing like spending your afternoon in the restroom 'cause you just don't feel well enough to get out of it for any period of time. My Love and I were going to go over to Orlando today to hang out and just get out but it was well after 4pm before I felt well enough to tackle Target let alone a bit of a road trip. Blah. The way cool news is that I was able to get a 128MB Smart Media card for my camera today to upgrade the 8MB one it came with! :) Now I'm not limited to a mere 16 high quality shots, with the 128MB card I now get 257 High Quality shots! LOL Isn't that awesome? And, the card was on sale so I got it super cheap. Normally $89.99, it was $69.99 plus 10% off making it $62.99 and THEN another $20 rebate making it $42.99. Spent the last of my birthday money on it, but damn! It was so worth it! Put it this way, the 64MB cards were $49.99! Yeah! :) More shots means more chance to take pics without having to run back to the PC to upload them. That is simply amazing. I LOVE my digital camera. Thanks again so much to Anthony and Cynthia (wherever you guys got off to) for the gift.
Last thing left is a $40 gift card to Target - and there's just so many things I love from that store I can't narrow down what I want to do with it. *hee hee* I was thinking of getting a George Foreman Grill since we both love beef (hamburgers, steaks) but are not allowed to have an outdoor grill in our apartment and there's not a lot of other good ways to cook a steak without one. The medium sized one goes for about $60 here in Target. We really don't one smaller then that, but ugh, $60 seems like a lot. (It's still $20 more then my gift card!) Anyone know of any place to get one online cheaper? Or a coupon or a rebate for them?
Anyway, I'm feeling better finally - mostly - so hopefully we'll get to go out there tomorrow.
**note: yeah for hitting the "post" button every few during this, knowing how unsteady the power and cable are and knowing there would be brown-outs. And there were. Two in a row brought everything down several seconds each time.**
I'm not risking this again, I'm just gonna post now. More perhaps after the storm.
