We're leaving on a Jet Plane...

This song has been in my head for days. I'm so excited & I couldn't sleep anymore because, TODAY we are actually getting on a plane :o) & flying to Jamaica! Where we will spend five glorious, wonderful, fabulous days doing nothing much. I haven't figured out how to blog from my phone, but I will definitely have tons of pictures when we get back. It's all good, mon!

Pillows come in all shapes & sizes...

some are even shaped like buffaloes. Sweet dreams.

Cheap Sunglasses...

and a not so cheap haircut. Man, I hate paying for haircuts. But I really like my new sunglasses & the bangs. What do you think?

out with the old and in with the new...

Our old trusty Kodak flashed for the last time about 2 weeks ago. It had been a great camera, but we were (I was) evidently too hard on it. It wasn't made to be tossed in a bag without a case, to be dropped by careless 4th graders, have a beer spilled it or slobbered on by a massive Labrador. It served it purpose for 2.5 years. I know I was rough on it, but it probably couldn't have picked a worse time to kick the bucket. I have no pictures of the last week of school or Matt's birthday & we are leaving Monday for Jamaica. A new camera wasn't really on the list of things to buy before vacation.
If you know Brock at all, then you know that he doesn't buy electronics on a whim. An extensive research project must be done, spreadsheets made, reviews read & re-read, specs compared & on & on & on. And if you know me, then you know that I am all about the impulse buy. Even before Mr. Kodak kicked it we were at Best Buy not finding what we were looking for. Bored with looking, I ventured over the cameras (I've been on the quest for a digital SLR for awhile) & I noticed that they had some 'tough' digital point and shoots. 'Tough' as in waterproof, shock resistant, freeze resistant & dust proof...Saawweeet! But at the time we didn't need a new point & shoot & I try to refrain from impulses over $100.
Then Mr. Kodak went on to camera heaven & the research began. While we would love to have a digital SLR we decided to wait till we have some kids some day & we knew we would always want a point & shoot just because they are easy, so why not a 'tough' one. We both knew that my less than careful treatment of the now dead Kodak probably didn't help, plus 'tough' cameras are waterproof & we are leaving for Jamaica in less than a week. The research only lasted a couple of evenings (a new record) & the purchase was made. Thanks to Amazon & some extra shipping cost this dude showed up at our door this afternoon.

So far, I like it. It is the Canon Powershot D10. "Waterproof, freezeproof and shockproof; it's tough enough to take what you dish out..." That sounds like something we (I) need. I've played some this afternoon & it does a pretty good job. I haven't figured out all the bells & whistles & I haven't dunked it in water, but hopefully we will have some kickbutt snorkeling pictures to share when we get home. Countdown....4 days! :o)

Aruba, Jamaica...

This time next week we will be here...

At the Couples Negril.

And on the itenerary...(in case you were wondering)

Is this, period. We aren't going as tourist, we are going to get away & do NOTHING. Can't wait!

We're too old for this...

Yeah, for good friends & good times. Man we love Oklahoma.
